  Aug KM/Shunning Fightback??

  by Latte in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is there really no way of getting through to these people??

  life is really too short for putting up with this ignorant kind of behaviour.

  we, as ex-jws know how theyre thinking works, surely if we are going to have to endure shunning for the remainder of our lives we must do/say something to arouse their clear thinking abilities.

  Thank you, Latte, for thinking of me.

  I'm thinking of my mom ( who's shunning me ) as demonized person. Of course in this case the demon is the WTS. When I talk to her, there is something about her that makes me feel that this is not my mom. She sobbed over me before because she thought I was going to die at Armageddon. When we talked last time, I could feel that she was really angry at me because I was against the WTS. How could a loving mother be so angry at her only daughter just because she doesn't want to share the same faith? I worry about my mom's psychological well being.

  How can we fight with this craziness? I think the only way is to shut down the WTS. Let the FBI and IRS get involved in this. Have them arrest the Governing Body members and permemantly shut down the WTS. Then maybe my mom might change her thought. Maybe.

  But that is just my wishful thought.

  Oh, thank you so much everyone!

  I haven't talked to my mom yet. But I sent an email to one of my brothers, and will talk to the other brother soon. I don't want my father to know about this - at least not yet until she decides to tell him for herself.

  I'll put updates soon.

  Thanks again!

  p.s.- Lynn, thank you for your story and BONEZZ, I've been thinking about you, too. When is your daughter's wedding? Any updates?

  An Apology Before Bedtime....

  by Valis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the overbeer is finishing up his last can of spiritual food for the night and has had some time to contemplate the past weekend's insanity before going off to a bit of somnambulation.

  first, please excuse my behavior yesterday, as it was a bit harsh and not what i want to be.

  now then.... moe, i apologize for getting on your case.

  Valis, you talk sometimes roughly, but always prove that you are big enough and mature enough, not to mention humble enough to admit your mistakes and to apologize.

  I think you are a nice person.

  I'm getting married on Oct.13. I only have less than two months to get ready for the wedding, and I didn't have anything ready last week. As you may know I am DA'd. My mom, who is a jw, has been pretty good to me. But yesterday she told me that she will no longer have meals with me. Yes, it was because what the Aug. KM said. She said that I had to go to look for my wedding dress by myself, and that she wouldn't come to the wedding. But when I was leaving my parents' house, she told me that she would like to go to the wedding dress shops.

  This morning I called my mom to let her know what time we were going to meet. I had a parent of my students who volunteered to help me out on my wedding. She was supposed to take me to the shops. When my mom found out that we would get to meet around lunch time with her, she told me that she wouldn't go. Because I'm "holding hands with Satan", she just could not go along. So I said, "Well, if that's what you think, then I don't have anything to say. But I love you, mom." Then, she got hostile. "What? You love me? You are saying that you love me? How can you say that?" I really didn't want to argue. So I hung up as soon as I can.

  I know that she might still come to the wedding because of other guests; she has to act to show. But I do know that she will shun me. She has shunned me as of today. It is sad because I thought my mom would never do that to me. Because I've been reading many of your experiences, I was somewhat prepared. But it still hurts.

  May I have your hugs?

  I am soooo sick of.......

  .......hearing people belly ache about how "we can no longer swear" or "say whatever we want"!!!.

  if you cannot make a sensible comment without swearing...then you are a moron!!.

  if you cannot get your point across without being rude and abusive to one another then you are a moron!!

  Lucy, I second that.

  I like Crazy151drinker, too. I also like Farkel and Elsewhere even though they use not-so-good language sometimes. But I think they have a good sense of humor.

  I also like minimus ( love your dancing red dot ), Amazing and many others.

  But I'm not so sure about Jesus Christ. I think he is ignoring me. Sigh.....that's not new. I'd better get used to that.

  Catholic Church/JW media connection

  i've spoken to several people regarding the catholic churches child abuse scandals.

  i always bring up the issue as it pertains to jw's as well.

  the comment that seems to end such discussions is something along the lines of:.

  I was afraid that the media might have lost its interest, too. But the people are different. I don't know about other state, but in CA, there were at least two Amber Alerts that I know of last a few weeks. And then more news and coverages on child abduction are becoming the headline and the top stories. People care about their children and other children.

  A few days ago I talked to a couple of people regarding the Silent Lambs and the WTS's policy. Their mouths were dropped. They were shocked esp. on the fact that the pedos are still going door to door.

  It is quiet in CA now as far as the JW news. But I'm looking forward to September.

  I am DA'd. You may have read my post that my mom was not shunning me and that she insisted having weekly family dinner together.

  Well, yesterday she told me that she would no longer have dinner with me. You guessed it. The Aug.KM! She told me that, too. She said that she is not going to come to my wedding or take any part. We were going to go out to look for my wedding dress. She said that I should do it on my own. And she also told me that I gave in to Satan.

  I am very sad and upset with the WTS. I have read many posts like this before so I was prepared somewhat. But it still hurts.
