  i am in a pissed off kind of mood today, and i need to do a little venting.

  i was thinking about my mother, who was disfellowshipped about 12 years ago.

  i was 9 at the time, and our lives completely shattered.

  Thank you all for your advice; I will definitely take it to heart, and put it in practice.

  LyinEyes: OMG, your story is so eerily similar to my own. And what happened to your mother is exactly what I am terrified of with mine.

  I can't stop myself from being PISSED OFF at those JWs today.

  I am in a pissed off kind of mood today, and I need to do a little venting.

  I was thinking about my mother, who was disfellowshipped about 12 years ago. I was 9 at the time, and our lives completely shattered. My mom lost all of her friends, and having given up all her worldly ones years before, had no one. She sunk into a deep depression, drank, and became physically and emotionally abusive.

  We didn't have a car at the time, so every Monday, Thursday, and Sunday, we had to haul out the bikes, and ride 3 miles to the KH. We sat in the back, and were completely ignored. By the middle song, my mom was always in the bathroom crying. That went on for about 2 years. It never changed. She never stopped crying.

  When I was 13, encouraged by my mother, I began studying to get baptized. I studied until I was 17. I never could quite get as far as baptism. I was practicing the questions for baptism, when I quit. The cong. was nothing but a bunch of uptight, self-righteous backstabbers(as I see most congs. are). I began to ask too many questions, and had all my dreams shot in the ass. It was when I began "coming out" as a lesbian, that I knew I couldn't stay with the organization. And that I didn't want to.

  I am out and free and happy now, but I am still pissed off and what they did, and continue doing to my mother. It has been 12 years, but she can't seem to let go. She never was reinstated; she wrote the letter twice several years ago, but it was rejected. Not repentant enough, or something.

  She honestly believes that this is "the Truth", and that God hates her. She no longer prays, because she thinks "God doesn't hear her prayers" anymore. She feels so hopeless. I have tried talking to her on numerous occasions, but she turns as deaf ear. When I decided to leave the JWs, my mother cried, saying that "now I was lost, too". She is so upset because of me. And because of them.

  When I came out to her, she was supportive, but she also made sure to tell me that "Jehovah doesn't approve", and that I "fell from God's favor".

  Why after so many years, can't she see it for what it is??? After all they did to her? There is a lot more sh*t they pulled, and I don't have the time to write it all down.

  I want to help her, but I don't know how. Any advice?????

  trick or treat - jw style

  when i was young, i remember my dad handing out witness tracks to the kids when they would come to the door.

  come to think about it now, i am suprised that we never got vandelized later.. in fact, i remember one guy coming to the door with his kid, he only lived a few doors down.

  my dad gave some big speech along with the tract, upsetting the man enough that he stopped and went back home.

  We handed out tracts. Well, I handed out tracts. My mother thought it would set a good example. However, when I was about 7, I got caught giving away what candy I found around the house. OUCH! My butt hurt for a week!

  What did you do to piss the brothers off?

  by Pleasuredome in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when you were getting fed up with meetings before you gave up, was there anything you did to deliberately get on the brothers nerves?.

  i turned up to a meeting once with jeans on, and a red top with cccp on it with the 'hammer and sickle'.

  i also went to another bs group a few times so that if i wasnt at one group they'd think i was at the other and vice versa.

  Towards the end, I wore pants to meetings on several occasions.

  Also, at a couple of dub weddings, I "danced provacatively(REALLY provocative! lol)" with another girl. Never got called in the back room for that one, surprisingly. I think the elders were too busy hiding their boners.

  Anyway, as I thought about that, I realized that its time to redo my life list. Since leaving the borg, I can actually put things I WANT to do, not putting "the ministry" first. I can put "go to college" instead of "get baptized", and "go to Paris" rather than "regular auxillary pioneer". HOORAY!!!!!!!

  My question is, when did you first realize that your life was YOURS again? No longer having to "serve"? And how did it feel?
