Geez, I'm sorry to hear about this.

(((HUGS)))) I am so very sorry to hear this. Blood is thicker then water and that all the Borg is water. All words and no action to stand by their words. It just makes me sick how this water tears the blood bond of family apart. What the hell is Christian in that? I feel your hurt, I know your pain. You hang in there and dwell on the fact you are a better person for standing by your beliefs.

(((willdabeerman))) I am so, so sorry for you.

I know it hurts hon, and I know it sux. Just hang in there, the future might bring him to change his mind and make him to open his eyes. And I know we can't replace family, but we [the board] are here for you none the less.

Hugs, Viv.

Shunning is the one practice of jw's that proves beyond any doubt, that they are far from 'godly' in their efforts to serve god. Jehovah god is diminished and appears vengeful and full of spite. Evil is to kind a word for this draconian practice.

Please know that we share your frustration and grief. You have a hell of alot of company. With 60,000 a year ousted from the congregations world wide, just imagine the ripple effects on family members!!! Even if this policy was/is instrumental in bringing some back, the toll in human suffering, can never be justified.

Keep venting, it does relieve the pressure.

Nothing new under the sun. Get yourself together and join the club. If you think you're the only person who has to deal with these issues then you're dead wrong.

A lot of us have family inside the borg. To get them out is not an easy task. It could take years and years.

I know.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Still they cannot see the fallacy of the WTs shunning policy and all the hurt it causes.

Please, vent all you need. We are hear to listen and let you lean on us during this hurtful time.

Please note the words, "I CAN'T talk you anymore." Any thinking person can see it isn't their choice, but a Watchtower mandated rule of emotional blackmail to keep the R&F in line. Sad.

Wilda,

I,m truly sorry to hear about this. It is so very hard to reconcile oneself with the fact that our lives and families are or have been so enslaved to this juggernaut of an organization. I hope you can take some comfort in knowing that none of this is of your making. However, i know that does not eliminate the pain. (((((((Wilda))))))))

I know it's no consolation to you, but isn't it strange that many families don't shun in this way. Makes me angry, I start to think very negatively like in many years they'll regret it when it's too late.

It makes me so sad to hear about everyone's OWN FAMILY treating them like this.

You will always be welcome and loved on this Website though.

And, no matter what ANYONE tells you, God loves you.
