  Family is now reaping what they sowed and they don't like it.

  i resigned from the jw's in my 20's over 30 years ago, i was immediately shunned by my entire family and it's remained that way with a few exceptions ever since.

  one of those exceptions was being contacted by a cousin a few years back and during that conversation i discovered that my mother had been and still was the prime mover in my complete and continuing shunning.

  i then used what contacts i had left to confirm it.

  hi all, (i posted most of this last night on the end of the other thread then realised no one knew it was there).

  thanks for all the words of support and understanding, no one who hasn't been in a cult can really understand it.. i didn't mention names or locations in the story so that the jw lurkers couldn't find my familly who are still in the jw's but now speak to me.

  which has only happened in the last few years.

  G'day from Oz - My Story

  hi, i've been lurking for a few days reading the site, interesting stuff ;).

  i've been out of the org for 23 years, i was 27 i left an agnostic and became an atheist many years ago.

  i knew i was going to leave for 7 years before i did but had stayed in because i didn't want to hurt my family, it hadn't occurred to me that they might shun me.
