My sister who is still in is going to Costa Rica as a missionary

i left the organization in 2011 and never look back.

i left behind my sister and her two daughters by mid 2015 both her daughters (both are in their early twenties) were disfellowshipped and left the organization.

she has decided to go to costa rica as a missionary (i guess that's what they are still calling them, unless that has changed, been gone so long i don't know if they came up with a new term for it).

It's called "serving where the need is more fun"

Pete said it best. As a former need greater myself this pretty much sums up what its really all about when serving in a foreign Caribbean land.

Got a call, my dad is in hospice...

by dubstepped in

our last conversation was him yelling at me because i "loved the gays".

translation, i pointed out that nobody chooses their sexuality.

i've been shunned since daing last september, and really for a year or so after visiting my df'ed brother.

"But WHY would you want to know those things??"

by stuckinarut2 in

i ran into an older sister who has always been very sweet.. it was a friendly chat...yet she pushed for a reason why my family have been missing from meetings for some time.

the question was deflected, until it just had to be said: "well, there have been some troubling and disturbing issues about the society especially the way things were handled during the royal commission, as well as many other issues".. she quickly cut in and said "but why would you want to know these things?

its best not to research and look at those sort of things - so we don't get upset!".

"Why? Because I'm no Dummy, DUMMY!"

There's a sucker born every minute and she's clearly a sucka!!

Sad but true

What should they really do?

by Gratefullyunstuck in

i am now seperated from my jw husband.

he cheated twice on me, once while i was pregnant.

he hasnt been to meetings for approximately 2 years.

Lostwun

misogyny at its finest! Its such a double standard. Now had it been the other way around and you were the one cheating they would have df'd your ass so quick but because he has a penis they choose not to get involved. This is what really makes me sick about the organization.

Sorry you are going through this but i hope you come out a stronger person because of it. HUGS

Ideas for letter to Dr about blood card blackmail and what it means?

by purrpurr in

following on from another op who brought to our attention the new draconian blood card policy .i'm planning on visiting my dr to discuss this issue in advance.

i'm planning on telling her how jw's and possibly me will be blackmailed into signing this but really won't want the hlc involved and may want blood if needed.. i'm thinking about writing a letter that could be kept on file for future reference outling these issues, what do you think i should say in it?

ideas gratefully received thanks x.

Lostwun

When exactly will they be handing out these new blood cards to the R&F?

Dub I just want to offer my sincere condolences for what you are going through right now. I'm sorry your father is not doing well.

I am glad that you were at least afforded the opportunity to speak to him and relay your love.

I do hope your mom and family see the ridiculousness behind the whole shunning matter and loosen up on their stance. Maybe by what they have done already by removing all the jw's so you could visit your father is a sign that they could be at least be seeing the stupidity of leaving you out of family matters.

You guys are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. Keep strong man. HUGS!!!

Feeling Betrayed?

by stuckinarut2 in

this is the way many of us feel no doubt: feeling like we have been betrayed by a faith that has hidden so much from its believers, and covered up some serious past and present teachings and practices.. and yet, we are the ones treated with disdain, contempt or suspicion due to fading from activity!.

simply amazing that we have had to make a conscious decision to stand up for what is right and not be a part of the organisation for genuine and sincere reasons.

and yet they slander us, malign us and make us look like the ones with the problem!.

Lostwun

isn't it interesting how the organization always says that its outsiders who slander, criticize and attack them when it's actually jw's that slander and demonize individuals who for conscientious reasons no longer follow there teachings?

You can't even fade quietly without a jw trying to label you. So really, who's criticizing who here?

Nice post SIAR
