Infuriating for sure. A blatant lack of love. On the bright side - there was a church full of people that I'm sure were told what happened. They in turn will tell others and the loving attitude of the witnesses will be spread far and wide. It may have helped keep some away. Let's hope so.

as most of you know i live in a forest,in the mountains..at night there is very little light pollution... so the sky is one big theatre screen... i see shooting stars,northern lights,satellites,planes on a destination..it`s all very beautiful... tonight was different... .

Sorry Misguided. That is awful and very unloving. One day they will regret what they are doing. They are giving up relationships with you and your family for some man made rules. It's all bound to catch up.
Sending you hugs.

How sad - that poor boy! He died needlessly for a cult. That mother had it in her power to save him. She FORBADE life saving treatment for her OWN son! It is murder. Unfortunately, everyone will consider it "vindicating Jehovah's name" and call it persecution if she goes to jail. All the more to prove to themselves they have the truth because the world doesn't accept them. They will rejoice. How twisted, sick and vile.

Welcome ReallyTrulyAthena! Thank you for sharing - that must have been hard. You cried while you wrote it and I cried while I read it! I'm so sorry for all the pain you've gone through. So many similarities. You have a great head on your shoulders. I like the way you think. You should be very proud of yourself for not letting them touch your being - your true self and you've let that shine. Good for you! Your strength and experiences will help others who need guidance.
I wish you all the best on your path and journey to healing.

Welcome Bloominglotus! Thank you for sharing your story. You have been through a lot (inside and outside of this cult!). Glad you found this site. You've been given lots of great advice. I'll just reiterate the "breathe" part and to take it slow and easy. Let yourself process everything. It does calm down after the initial shock. Take good care of yourself. You're on the right track to healing.
I wish you all the best!

DF'd and struggling....LONG POST........my story.
by confuzzled777 inhow do i make a long story short?
i am fully aware that if anyone in my area were to read this that they will know who i am.
i was disfellowshipped on january 28th 2010 after an "interview" about an evening of bowling with friends and family back in november 2009. i was among 4 who were disfellowshipped and 6 who were publicly reproved.

Welcome confuzzled777! Thank you for sharing. Your experience is horrifying. The lack of love is absolutely disgusting. To say that someone is unrepentant because their heart is breaking at what is being said about them is just SICK! The bible says that only God can judge the heart - how dare they sit there and judge you and torment you. I'm so sorry for what you went through.
Please take the time away to think and to heal. When you feel up to it - please research the organization. You'll soon see why they treated you like they did. You will get lots of support here. Great people who can empathize with your experience. We've all been hurt and are here on the journey to healing.
I am sending you hugs and wish you all the best. Take good care of yourself!
