by besunny in

so my folks went to the meeting today and somehow i got brought up and they gave them my address so they can call on me because i'm inactive,i am upset about it because they didn't ask me first,i told my parents i wish they hadn't of done that without asking me first and my dad's response was are you not baptised?

and i said yes when i was 17 and i don't want to talk to anyone (i'm 51 now) and want to avoid any discussions that may cause me to lose my relationships with family that is still in,,so now i feel my successful fade will be jeapordized.

Thank you,I know they are trying to help and I love them,so I think I will try to avoid and if I can't I will have to tell them how I feel about things and let the chips fall where they may,I just wish I didn't have to deal with this anymore,,I'm so glad I found this forum and all you good people it's great to be able to talk to others that understand

Latest article about domestic violence and abuse

by confusedandalone in

about 10 minutes ago a neighbor asked me about a friend who is a witness and said at one of their church meetings it said that they can only seperate under extreme abuse not just abuse.. i have not been to a meeting in a long time and i do not know aboput this or if it is true.

does anyone know what article this was in so i can print it and give it to them.

they are highlyy upset by this and i want to stoke the fire.

This is what woke me up and why I left this religion,from the age of 4 to my early 40's I was a witness,,I married a brother in my 20's who was a pioneer,,he was the boss and controlled everything,I had no say in nothing,he isolated me from family and friends,hit, choked,spit,cut my hair off,took my car away,at one point wasn't allowed to watch tv,,the list goes on,when initially I went to the elders l was counseled that I must be doing something to cause this,it left me depressed and thinking I'm crazy,,,where was Jehovah's protection for me and my kids,,it wasn't there,,,when I left for the last time I decided I would go on with my life,,and what totally makes me madd is that you can't remarry if you decide to leave a abusive spouse,,,so again more abusive rules and control,,I'm still bitter because of this treatment and wasted time of feeling stuck with no options,,but I faded and am happily remarried to a wonderful man who has never been a witness,,,there is a life outside this cult

=( Sad... waking up my mom is going to be next to impossible

by ILoveTTATT in

my mom showed me how ferocious a mind-controlled person may be.. i started talking to her about the septuagint... i don't know at what point the conversation went wrong but she just got angry and said, "well, i trust that jehovah has kept the bible intact... i want to end this conversation"... and i said, "mom, you haven't even let me finish.

"i don't want to continue this conversation!

stop the car".

besunny

My parents are also hard core JWs and I am their only child who has faded over the last few years, anyway to make a long story short,my mom became very ill over the last year and has lost her vision along with this illness,the subject of a blood transfusion came up due to anemia,when trying to reason with my father about it he said he would absolutely let her die before even thinking about letting her have one,he became angry with me for even trying to reason with him about it,my husband who has never been a witness was shocked by this behavior.I have tried over the last several months to nicely reason on other subjects but don't get anywhere,so l have decided just to shut up! it is sad what a hold this cult has and sickens me.

Who has experienced a REAL demonic incident?

by Monsieur in

has anybody here experienced a bonafide, real, true incident in whicy 'demons' actually interacted with you or did something 'supernatural' that left you convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that satan and his demons exist??.

I have had what I guess could be described as paranormal experiences where I used to live,all my family members did too,,,haven't had any since we moved from that house,,but I don't attribute that to demons but something was there

How long does it take to get reinstated ?

by Pitchess Co-Gen in

i was think about getting reinstated, and then do a fade right after because of family ties..

besunny

Pitchess Co-Gen you are probably right about the going out in service thing after being reproved it was like 14 years ago,,but I didn't want to go in field service anyway,,or answer,,it took another 5 years and I totally faded,,also moving twice helped with that
