Why is my Uncle (JW PO-COBE) and Aunt Cruella suing my parents and grandparents?
by ReligionOfHatred ini heard this is a website where you can ask fellow jehovah's witnesses questions that websites like jw friends will not allow you to post because they don't allow you to speak ill of any elder.
my aunt cruella de ville and uncle jaundice sent my grandpa (he's got dementia and grandma has cancer) a letter saying their going to force grandma and gramps in to selling the land my grandmother located back in the late 1970s, grandma is very smart and saw the potential for their land, she was very gifted seeing things others did not see.
in the 1980s my grandparents went to oregon to check on their daughter who was pregnant, they were appalled by the living conditions cruella was living and she was having to work even though she was heavy with child.. all of this started when my dad ran in to a elder at the grocery store and this elder told my dad that "the reason cruella and jaundice are shunning your inlaws is because their apostates and therefore have the right to shun them.

My parents sent the elders after me
by atacrossroads ini stopped regulary attending meetings and going in field service in january.
the elders have left me alone for the most part i think because of my jw husband.

Possum, glad to be of service. I paid heavily for my knowledge.
The only satisfaction I can get is to help others not make the same the mistakes I made and possibly avoid the consequences.
Possum: Does any "loving" god or family really want us to sit and pretend to worship him in a kingdom hall or anywhere???
Not any God that I'd want to worship. Come to think of it, any God like that wouldn't be worthy of my worship.

I was accused of being selfish and they wanted to know what happened and what had I been filling my head with.
Introduce your parents to Mr. Mirror. Tell them to take a good, long look and see if they see anyone they recognize!
My husband told them to leave ... He literally pushed them out the door and walked them to their car.
Your parents are out of control.
A few days later I get a knock at the door and 2 elders were there. I have known them for years and they were very sad.
Oh, well. It sucks to be them. Tell them that you are not responsible for the mental or emotional health.
They asked if there was anything they could do to enourage me.
Yes, go away!
The elder I had known the longest said I was being very guarded and wondered why that was.
Answer: Because this is a cult and if I tell you what I really think and how I really feel you'll throw the religious equivalent of a temper tantrum and disfellowship me and then everyone I know will shun me. Duh!
He asked me if I read or had association with anyone that would make me want to stop being a witness.
Yes. I've read the WT publications and associated with JWs for years. That was all it took!
He got very frustrated with me and he asked do you believe the faithful and discreet slave is directed by Jehovah
Answer: Ya' know, I agree with Brother Jackson of the Governing Body when he said it would be presumptuous to think that they are the only spokesmen for God on Earth!
BTW, Brother Elder, I'm sorry you're frustrated, but you really need to take responsibility for your own emotional state and stop blaming others, in this case me.
The elders showed up when they knew my husband was gone.
Well that's just wrong. If you didn't know before that this is a cult, you know now.
I am trying so hard to prevent [getting disfellowshipped].
If the elders "invite" you to a judicial committee tell them you'll be happy to attend with your attorney and a recording device. Advise them that if they try to proceed without giving you due process you will sue them personally for slander, libel, defamation of character and alienation of affection.
They will leave you alone after that.
Let's review: It's a cult!

TOTC: This is sick!
You're right, it is sick. But it is also what the Bible says and what the WTBTS teaches.
What you don't seem to get is THE FACT that at millions of birthday parties held around the world every single day, no one gets beheaded.
This crazy, sick idea comes only from the Bible. Even then, very few--if any--religions other than JWs promote this sick interpretation of Birthdays and the Bible. Come to think of it, I can't name a single other religion that has this sick idea about birthday parties.

JWs are just weird people, I think their going insane!
by ReligionOfHatred inthere's a interesting situation emerging where i live and i want to share it all with you because its proof i think jehovah has pulled his holy spirit away.
when elders think they can steal from the government and pretend to be holy, than jehovah god has left us!.

ROH, welcome!
Now that your eyes are opening up a bit it's best you prepare for some more shocking revelations that prove beyond any doubt that, not only has Jehovah left our religion, he was never, ever there.
Hang in there. It gets better.

Searcher: Don't compete to control their thinking - just get them to reason for themselves.
This is great advice!

Hi Millie. I think you'll appreciate it very much. I'd love to know your thoughts and insights on this subject. It's very important to every one, but particularly current- and ex-JWs. -
