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.

=( Sad... waking up my mom is going to be next to impossible
by ILoveTTATT inmy 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".

Good morning everyone,,I have a question I need help with. My parents are very active and faithful JW's,,my dad is an elder..My mother has become very ill over this winter and has declined greatly,,I'm trying to prepare myself for the worst,,anyway it's starting to look like she has Luekemia and we will know shortly if that's what it is.My question is about bone marrow transplants,,I do not remember if this is an accectable treatment for JW's. I hope it is!! if we match I will give her mine,,I would appreciate any input you have,,,her RBC and WBC count is decreasing,,and I know when it reaches about 7.9 (RBC's) they will suggest to transfuse,,and I know she will refuse she would rather die...It is a very upsetting situation,,but I'm trying to figure out what can be done before it comes to that,,,thank you in advance!!!

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

Hubby and Wifey saying Hi
by free and happy inso where do you start?.
i've been reading peoples experiences for several months now trying to figure out what i want to say but how do you put your whole life into a few words?.
i was a born in but have been happy and free for 5 years and luckily for me my husband felt the same way and we have freed our children from being brainwashed.

Wow,,this makes me so angry and it is exactly why I left the JW's being born and raised in it,,,I suffered for 20 years in a abusive relationship with my so called JW husband,I was slapped,punched,kicked,pushed,choked,riduculed,told I had no value other then cleaning and giving birth (although I am a nurse and made more money but not allowed to work),isolated,wasn't allowed to watch TV, had my car taken away,had my hair cut off,been spit on,and the list goes on,,,I was told by the elder's I wasn't supportive enough and made to feel it was my fault so I kept leaving and going back,,I was mindfucked!!! then the abuse with the children started so I left permanetly,,,oh and then I'm not allowed to remarry without getting disfellowshiped and being shunned from my whole family,,so that means no family support with being alone with 3 kids,,,so I faded over the last 5 years,,and now remarried to a wonderful man who isn't a witness thank god!!! The WTS has no idea what they are talking about, none of them has lived it and they need to apologize and retract their stupid advice!!!! sorry for carrying on but it makes sick!!!!!!!!!!!!
