devastated youth...my sister was sucked in
by notawitness inmy sister married into a family of witnesses.
her husband isn't a witness though, he never believed, but was forced to attend meetings untill he turned 18. when he married my sister she got sucked in to his family's beliefs.
now she won't spend time with us, says she was born into worldly things and she doesn't think it would be good of her to come back.

I do still love my sister, it is just really hard to think about. My mom cries all the time. I try to forget about it and pretend it isn't happening but it is and it is too much a part of my family now. My parents tried talking to her, she just got angry and defensive, we didn't hear from her untill a little while ago. She called, she asked for my mom and wouldn't speak to me. My mom had written her an e-mail explaining our concerns, my dad is so angry that he hasn't accepted her calls for months.

Please, I am so upset...I need some hugs...
by Sentinel ini am having a very difficult time and i am here right now because i know in my heart, that when i explain what has just happened to me a few minutes ago, you will understand.
many of you are no doubt going through the same thing.. within several posts here, i have spoken of my mother.
my dear sweet mother, who just turned 78, and who has been a faithful jw since 1959. she abandoned me in 1981, when i decided to leave the borg, and for twelve years she did not speak to me, write to me, call me, or visit me.

I am new to this forum, and this was the first story I read, hearing that these things happen to the best of us is the worst thing in the world, I am losing my sister to JW so I kinda know how you feel. I can't imagine though, how it would feel to lose my mother to such an awful group. You have my love and my prayers.

My sister married into a family of witnesses. Her husband isn't a witness though, he never believed, but was forced to attend meetings untill he turned 18. When he married my sister she got sucked in to his family's beliefs. Now she won't spend time with us, says she was born into worldly things and she doesn't think it would be good of her to come back. It hit me when she wouldn't so much as see me on my 17th birthday. That hurt so bad. I read the card she gave me last year over and over and over. I miss her. I looked through all the pics from Christmas last year. She told us not to expect her this year, she doesn't belive in Christmas anymore. What she doesn't believe in is her family. She has been brainwashed into thinking that we are horrible people, we are Christians. I don't know what to do. Her husband won't speak up and tell her what he thinks of it all, I mean, he tried so hard to get away from JW when he married my sister and now she is trying to drag him back into it. Her husband is the best thing that could have happend to her, he loves her and he is a great guy. I love my sister, but I think I have lost her to a Cult of Stupidity.
