  it's becoming unbearable for me to attend another meeting.

  i dread coming to the weekly sunday public talk and watchtower study.

  the talks are ''repeats'' of a ''repeat.

  In 2008 I could no longer attend the meetings, because my brains got hurt. All the bias, rules and made uo history, I could no longer accept.

  Since 1995 generation change I became PIMO.

  Now with wife and children save, faded and off the jw radar since we moved to another city.

  JW family still have contact, they avoid the elephant in the room.

  a few months ago, there was a post asking about randy watters.

  as 1975 was approaching, many witnesses sold their property.

  do you know about specific cases that are willing to share their experience of doing so?.

  I never understood that with milions of JW's, so few online activity is generated.

  Jw.org ban about online discussion seems effective.

  I remember it well, on Dutch TV news, and it conflicted with my "Jehovah protected his people" conviction.

  Syntax error in my believe system then.

  Which of you readers are being shunned by their relatives / friends ?

  by stan livedeath in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a simple " me" if you dont want to say more--or a short explanation about who is shunning you and how long has this been going on.. i'll set the ball rolling: my daughter--her husband and children; my younger son --no contact from them for 40 years...because i left their religion.. (edit--i just noticed the typo in the header--if should be of ).

  Ha. Interesting! We are pomo.

  Some family do avoid us, but most give us a normal treatment.

  Witness, local, are cold or look away.
