for years, i was told this..... " anyone who leaves the org is bitter, sad, and worse off, why do you think they come back???

guess what guys i am the opposite, now i quit cold-turkey (looking back, i should have faded correctly) i am planning on going to the memorial this month just to hear all "the friends" tell me how much they missed me.

SOrry to hear about your mom. Siblings put a lot of pressure on the parents. How JWs have put family members in such a rug a war is so sad. They cannot even own that they break up families. Keep strong the life knowing TTATT is so much more rewarding, and remember all us here understand and will happily listen to your family experiences

My tablet changed tug a war to rug a war.

thinking of using Matt. 18 with still in JW

by gma-tired2 in

i have a sister-in-law that has hurt me deeply with her jw attitudes and decisions.

she does not shun me or her brother but shuns one of our children.

i am suffering from depression taking anti depressants to cope and i have fibromagiya with intensifies with stress.

I did it. I had a hard time confronting her because I don't like hurting others, but the result of her action she had done deep damage to one of my children. She cried, denied she did it, then when I gave her info on her actionsnshe has now lost all memory, I assured her, her brother me, and our children rmembered and have had to live with the fallout for the last 18 years. If she had not chose to shun her nephew and led her grandmother to do same I would not havw confronted her. Her first action contributed to my child being so hurt and changed his life so dramatically that he would not have put himself in a position to be df'd. She handle this by typically running to the Elders. If they show up on our doorstep hubby says she will be hearing from him and he will have nothing nice or kind to say.. BTW he listened to everything I said to her and how it was said.

JW Bombed

on friday the 1st of march, i went to my cousins 21st birthday celebration - she has never been a jw.

my other cousins (twins) were introduced by my mother to the faith over 20 years ago (they are now 38) and got baptised when they were about 19. they both weren't that "strong" in the faith and married "worldly partners" and stopped going to meetings.. they knew i had left and i presumed they knew i was disfellowshipped for apostacy.. at the party the one twin came over to me and we chatted about life etc and she says "oh carl is going to start studying" - i looked at her a little odd and asked what it was as he already had a financial degree.

"no silly, he is going to study the truth" my face must have been a picture and in a very high voiced squeaked why would he ever consider that, he is an intellecutal guy....... she continued about how the people had changed and were so much better than when we were younger.

My JW family keeps saying how much things have changed and is a more loving enviroment but looking at actions such as how it is still as hard a$$ as it ever was and more
