    My mood is swinging furiously at the moment, going from grying like a baby one minute to so angry, that my own mother could treat me like this.

    I mean I know she doesn't agree with the desision I made to da's myself, and I know that her faith is very important, but would it be too much to ask that she just be my mother, without all the religious c***? I'm not telling her how to live her life, so why is her love for her daughter so conditional, based upon my own devotion to a god I don't believe in and a religion that I hate? Its all so screwed up.

    And how could she go and not even say goodbye? Is this what she thinks will 'bring me to my senses?'.

    No its wrong.

    How cruel! WTF were they thinking! I don't even have words to express how sorry I am that they have treated you so badly.

    We love you!

    Hi ((((((((Shell))))))

    She has moved away and left her four grandchildren. And all this is dictated by the cult organisation.

    Same thing happened to us regarding my older daughter. My wife just happened to be driving past her flat when she noticed a removal van outside. There were JWs and my daughter moving furniture. Jody left without so much as a "Kiss my arse" and has gone to live around 200 miles away. However, we have our own lives to lead and, in our case, other children to consider (if they can be called children anymore as the youngest is almost 18).

    IT ISN'T YOUR FAULT! Always remember that!

    Love,

    Ian

    She had moved away and left me. She has moved away and left her four grandchildren. And all this is dictated by the cult organisation. Why didn't she at least say goodbye? or tell me that she loved me? Probably coz she doesn't.

    Acutally, she probably does. That's what's so rotten about this frigging cult. When your mom is old and looking for family visits from you and the grandkids, perhaps she'll realize then that she made a huge mistake putting the wishes of men she's never even met, above her own family.

    I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. It must feel very sad. It's too bad that you cannot buy the home yourself. I can't say I haven't had my own fantasies about buying the home I grew up in... Maybe some day.

    Yeah the witnesses think its one of their "trials" to "lose" their non-JW families. What they don't seem to realise is that they are the ones who cut off the contact. Just because we are not JWs anymore doesn't mean that we would leave our family.

    Your mum likely does love you and is upset that she has "lost" her daughter to the world. This is all because of the JW CULT.

    Shell - That makes me feel so . . . empty.

    I am sorry for your loss.

    It is hard for me to imagine even the craziest of parents not loving their children.

    I really don't think it's that she does not love you, but I know that it feels that way.

    She is doing some very unloving things because her mind truly is not her own.

    I'm not making excuses, but that's the only way I can come to terms with my own issues of abandonment.

    Their minds are not truly their own while locked into this cult.

    So sorry, shell!

    I can see it coming... New Light will say that if you are in need of financial support because you didn't go to college and learn to make a good living, don't blame god or go to the 'brothers'. Theocratic Warfare says it is 'ok' to dupe your shunned ex-jw children into thinking you are welcoming them back into your life in your old age in order to take advantage of their finances.
