After 2 years my parents make contact. The end result is that I promise them to cryogenically preserve ONLY their heads
by paulmolark init has been 2 and a half years since my departure from the religion.
i was told by my parents from the start that i would never speak to them until i returned to jehovah dog.
a few months later they told people they hoped i died before the end came, then all of this culminating in them telling my inactive / fading sister that they don't consider me a child anymore and they have given me up to satan.

Oub, Sorry to be depressing. My intention was to affirm that these parents are not unusual in dubland. also to respond to how young this indoctrination starts. The negative effects are the gifts that keep giving.
The good news is I woke up before I am on my deathbed. My health is good and I intend to live LONGER and BETTER than my mother who turns 97 in a few months. :)

I was told exactly the same thing by my parents from the time I was a toddler. When I was 3 I met my father's 20 yo son. I never saw him again until the funeral 14 years later. My 1/2 brother was shunned and written out of the will for never being baptized. From time to time I would ask why my brother is not in our lives. The answer was "Because he doesn't love Jehovah."
If I had ever been DFed I know for a fact I would never see or hear from my parents again unless I was reinstated. They also regularly told me about the Israelites stoning their rebellious children as though they would have had no problem doing it themselves.
My childhood was full of fear and anxiety. My adulthood was spent trying to please my narcissistic mother and my angry God. At age 60 I gave up trying.
When I left I tried to reach out to my brother but I can't find him. He would be well into his 80's now.He is either dead or dead to me. (Sigh)

Well another one leaves the Borg.
by John Aquila ini took a quick trip to the store and i happened to see a young man (about 26-28 years old) who got baptized about the same time i was leaving- about 2 years ago.
a couple of pioneer sisters found him in the door to door work.
one of them, a very attractive girl.

"If publishers don't tell the truth about how much they can contribute and how many magazines they have placed, can we trust the number of field service hours...?"
Very important point. If the stats given to the WTBT$ are padded by the publishers, who can trust the so called "growth" stated by HQ?
