Bonezz, I really hope it all works out for you. My heart breaks every time I hear of another shunning story. It is such an unloving practice and it really is a way of bullying a person. As much as the news media has come out against this you would think there would be more stories of what they are doing inside these cults to contol the people. I look forward to hearing how this comes out. If I were in your position I know I would feel so desperate and want to do the same thing. You want to shake them to their senses.

I did not grow up as a JW so I had the joy of celebrating and believing in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny. I can look back on those times with fondness and never felt like I was deceived like the JW's would like you to believe. I personally do not see any harm in allowing them to believe in fairy tales for a short period of time. Children watch movies and cartoons with make believe all of the time and it is just part of the childhood experience.

That was a good one Flipper. I know the child abuse scandal really upset me so hopefully they will go home and think about it and do some googling.

We faded 13 months ago and we feel we are ex-JW's never to return. We did a very sudden fade after the DC never to set foot in the KH again.

Welcome, I am sorry to hear you are going through a rough patch. There are many on this board that have been in-invited from an event too. I don't have much to add but JW's are usually very phobic about gays and for that reason her husband to be may be the problem. If he is a NPG he probably is very uncomfortable around you because you can see what he is doing. For me personally I would talk privately with your sister and let her know how much this has hurt you. Remind her of when her husband died and how you gave up your life to help her. Sometimes people need to be reminded of things from the past. They get so caught up in the JW dogma. Also, sometimes we are afraid to tell a loved one our feelings and so it goes unsaid and there are hurt feelings when the situation could have been corrected with a discussion. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

If You Were A Bro(tm) Did You Enjoy The Prestiage Of Giving A Talk? Do You Miss It?
by LoisLane looking for Superman ini was a sister(tm).
i was only allowed to give talks to my householder.. you brother's(tm), all eyes were on you.. what was that like?.
did you enjoy it?.

I always hated giving talks and finally I would get a terrible explosive headache before giving them so I stopped years ago. I didn't mind being a householder though. My husband on the other hand enjoyed it and did a lot of research to make it interesting, he was an excellent speaker.
He was a born in and the very first time he gave a talk he was around 8-10 years old and the talk was about masterbation. He kept telling his mom that he didn't want to do it but she wouldn't give in. When he gave the talk it fell apart because he was so embarrassed. It just shows you how weird some of these brothers are. Why in the world would you give a child a talk about masterbation. It is bad enough that they give sex talks to an audience full of children but then to assign it to a child is down right stupid.
