  I did it. I sent a letter to my son. I told hm the same things I wrote about in my earlier post. I sent it on an empty card in a Hallmark envelope. I am sure he will open it since he has a wedding coming up and is probably receiving many cards. It felt so **** good!!!!!!!! to send it. I only hope he takes it to heart. You are right Makena1 it is time for me to move on and not take this whole thing personally. It is just another step in the process of life. I WILL become a better person from this I promise.

  Well I just don't know what to say. I am overwhelmed. Thank you all for your kindness and sympathy. I have actually had pain in my heart over this letter. I really didn't expect him to say those things. I am actually thinking of sending him a letter that states that " he must not be my son, my son would never, never have written those things to his mother. If he finds him will he let him know that his mother misses him and has a plate of lasagne in the frig waiting to be heated up. Please be sure to tell him to bring his guitar and we can sing songs again like we did when he was young. Tell him his mother loves him unconditionally and is waiting to give him a big hug and kiss. She misses him."

  I know this sounds corny but maybe he will think about it. Scully, your letter was great but I guess I am too "mild" to send it.(hah)

  Thanks again, Inky

  How Do You Feel About Jehovah's Witnesses???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  nearly everyone that posts here says mostly negative things about the witnesses.

  a few will speak of certain jw's that were helpful to them while they were going through difficulties.

  in the situation that you find yourself in now, do you feel that you hate jw's?

  What Francois and Bibbitybobbityboo (did I spell that right??) said also goes for me. I have been shunned and abandoned by my children due to the mind control of that organization. I have alot of anger towards them which will take me alot of years and alot of therapy to get rid of. I wish it were different but......

  Thank you everyone. You really gave me food for thought. I do realize that my youngest son is watching how I deal with this. He is almost 19 years old and definately does NOT want to be a JW.

  Yes. I was DA'd from the congregation a year ago. This was done without my knowledge on the sly. I found out about it 6 months later. My 3 children who are still JW's take this shunning thing seriously. They did not even call or ask me how I was doing when I had cancer surgery and chemotherapy. Can you believe that!!!!

  I do not know if I can handle going to the wedding uninvited but I WILL let my son know how I feel. Maybe just maybe it will make him think.

  You guys are the greatest

  Hi , I have not posted here for a long time but have bee lurking. I am part of the Mulan Dynasty. I just need to vent and you guys are it.

  The wedding invitation from my son came to my house today. He is being married on June 27th. He is an active JW and of course I am not. Of course it was not addressed to me. It was addressed to my youngest son who is living with me. I was not invited. Words cannot express how hurt and angry I am. To think that a son would not invite his own mother to his wedding because she happens to believe differently than him is simply beyond my comprehension. I did not expect to be invited but secretly hoped that he would somehow see the "rightness" of it. I have not even been introduced to his fiance. Just when I am happy (for the first time in over 2 years) those JW's throw me a curve like this and I am sucked back into the anger and resentment again. Please tell me how to deal with this. Or maybe you have had a similar experience and can let me know what helped you to cope.

  Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

  Anyone taken legal action in DF'ing?

  by startingover in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a close friend of mine, in fact a lurker here, got a call last night inviting him to a jc meeting, accused of apostasy.

  he would like to avoid this because of the things it would complicate, and would like to just be left alone.

  i know in the past i have read comments of some who have threatened legal action in this situation.

  To keep the JW's from coming to my house I sent a letter to them advising them that I did not wish to have any of them come to my house,write me or contact me. I stated that if they did I would sue. I also stated that the letter I was writing in no way was a disassociation letter. What did they do? They disassociated me. Alot of good it did for me to write. But it was for the best. I am now rid of them. No more harrassing phone calls or visits. Of course my 3 children and friends now are shunning me. It would have been best I think to have hidden away.

  What do they say? Hindsight is 20-20.

  Does Our Arguing Scare People Off???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with so much going on over here, do you think that newbies, lurkers, or potenial apostates could or do get scared off from this place?

  if someone is on the fence and they want to explore the internet and are warned that all you'll see are disgruntled apostates, could these forums make them think the "faithful and discreet slave" is actually right?

  I have often thought of posting here but have not until now, not because anyone has scared me off but because things often seem so negative here. This is my first post and this is the first question I have felt the urge to answer.

  I am sure all of you understand that since leaving the JW's we have had to deal with alot of anger and bitterness from former friends and families who are still in the "truth". Because of this whenever I feel disinclined to join in if I feel it will go to the "dark side", so to speak.

  I need nurturing, not negativity. But that is just my little ole opinion, if it matters.
