yah megadude...I have been df'd for almost 8 or so years and I am still havin trouble lettin my parents and sister go...everytime I try to get close they come back with that same ol scriptural crap about bein df'd and blah blah blah...it hurts...how do I let it go? I really do love my parents especially having become a parent myself...I see my daughter and I cant imagine there being ANYTHING that cud make me treat her as my parents treat me...I saw my parents a little while back when my baby girl was born but there was that old wall there...STILL there..I dont even live in the same state as them! fuck that religion...

21Letting JW relatives go....revisited
by MegaDude insome of you might remember i posted my thoughts on why, after years of shunning, and me continually trying to establish contact with the jw relatives that do this, i finally decided it was healthier for me to let them go and stop doing that.
this was especially true in the case of my younger brother, who was more like a best friend.
we spent a lot of time together before my extricating myself from the watchtower, including vacations and lots of weekends.

JW Rules That Are Just "Too Much"!
by Ephanyminitas ini'm curious: what rules have you dealt with that were just "too much" -- whether they were "official" (i.e.
in print) or not?.
i think a good, general one is r-rated movies.

quote from seedy3
"The shunning is given to a person at a time when they areoften at their lowest pointin life, I have seen so many people that were depressed at the time of their DF'ing or became depressed due to it. These one often need the support of their friends and family, but are hencforth cut off from among them, it is as stupid a rule and can be."
I think u hit this one on the head...this gets my vote... -

welcome...to heaven or hell, that is up to you. The point here is that you have a choice here...I MOVED out at 16..my elder dad even held the door open for me...that was 11 years ago..I never looked back...baptized I was...disfellowshippped I have been...shunnin was a whole lot of fun but freedom is not without its cost...I wouldnt change a thing...yer sister is gonna have problems...sorry j...but for what its worth be there for her when she makes that decision...it aint gonna be easy...but freedom is 100% worth it!
