Why does my mom shun my Son? (page 2)

Tales I am sad about this. She is still my mother and I have love for her. If only they could talk to any of us here they would know the ttatt. As Cedars said he has helped so many but his own family is still trapped in this Cult and he can not say anything to them. Thanks too Arabia. I have been drinking tonight and I guess despite being really happy with my new family I miss my mother and it is so hard with all we know here to not know a way to help here out of this cult. I guess I will have a few more beers and go to bed.

Awww, hey, I know the feeling. It's sad, angry, the whole range of emotions.

I'm glad you remembered that you are not alone, and chose to share with us.

I feel in someway like we are all abused children. I have been thinking about writing a letter to my mother. Has anyone else? What happenned if you did?

talesin

I tried talking to my mom. Her answer: You chose to leave Jehovah, and made your bed. Now you can lie in it.

My mom is/was very 'zealous' too.

If writing a letter will give you closure, then by all means, do it. Have no expectations, though, that she will listen or even care about hurting you. Mine never did.

It's a tough row to hoe, for sure.

Edit: I have to agree with your feeling that we were all abused - spiritually, at the very least.

How sad Tales. I think when you are raised to take this very serious by your mother and as I did as a youth you are more millitant. When I found out about the cult I was just as zealous to expose them and as such by their standards am all the more a satanic crazy man. No slow fade for me.

truJw, I know I can't drink because my mind will start to go into overdrive and think of how stupid I was all these years!

I don't know why your Mother won't see her grandchild, it's so common for JWs to put their neighbors they don't know, ahead of their own grandkids!

This goes the other way too, we have kids and grandkids who lived with Grandma and Grandpa while their parents were off doing nothing. Grandpa and Grandma paid the rent, paid for food, watched the children and grandkids only to have the new JW kids too busy to repay all the good their parents did for them.

I can't put my finger on this problem, it's almost like a Worldy Person in JW Theology is worth 3x more than taking care of their own family and kids. This is the opposite of what Jesus Christ explained his Father wanted us to do!

Start with Romans to Jude, and tell me if these Books resemble anything Jehovah's Witnesses practice.

You are aware that Nancy Yuen allowed herself to be thrown into prison, she abandoned her kids for no good reason in China. The Watchtower Missionaries stopped preaching when the Chinese Government told them to "Stop"!

The Watchtower Missionary Head in China was a fiend, he enjoyed seeing the sisters get thrown in jail and did not attempt to reason with them! Watchtower cowardly missionaries had no problem allowing these women to head to jail, as they sat back in their ass, doing nothing!

Nancy Yuen and other sisters in China had no love for their children, how can you abandon your kids for twenty years for no good reason?! You do not put yourself in danger, China was not Nazi Germany, the Chinese in Nancy Yuens time gave her plenty of chances to "stop disturbing the peace" "practice your own religion in your home!" "Stick with private homes", "just don't march down the disobeying us!" St. Paul did not go into the "District of Asia", Jesus Christ sent him to a more hospital location to preach. The Apostles were not "suicide preacers!"

Nancy Yuen refused to obey these reasonable request and threw her motherhood away! Where does the Bible say this is what Jesus Christ wanted?

tru,,, yes, when I was trying to get through to her about the 2-witness rule (one of my friends was molested and it was covered up), she started screaming at me 'WHY ARE YOU SO BITTER!!!!'

well, DUH!~ That's when I gave up on her, and to tell the truth, my feelings changed for her. I couldn't respect anyone who condones such heinous crimes, and my love for her grew dim.

It is sad. And, it's okay for you to grieve this, and talk about your sadness. Release the pain in a safe place, with folks who understand. That is requisite to moving on. The parent thing, for me, has been the most challenging to deal with. Always remember that your feelings are natural, and her actions as a JW, are not. You will get to a better place, I promise. All grieving is a process, and it takes time.

I took the attitude that they raised me in a church that already had failed prophetic mumbo jumbo, plus more failures since I was born, so why are they still members of this church? quoting Deut 18:20-22, so that I am the one taking the moral high ground according to their own Bible and if they want it back, they have to earn it, honestly. All dishonesty is treated with the disrespect it deserves.
