I think as a former JW, we are taught to put conditions on accepting people's choices. while it is sad that your mother, as so many JW's, would give up a child in the name of their religion, the fact that you love your mother so much that you see it would be mentally devastating if she were to realize the untruths about the truth, shows that you have not lost that inborn love a child has for their mother. so, i don't know if it's right or wrong to let her continue in bliss, but it's sweet that you don't want her to go through the pain of realizing the hypocricy of her faith like you had to. isn't that truly, "loving your neighbor as yourself"?. that's my take on it anyways. :)

Thank you. That helps a lot. Thank you

As always when talking to my brother I come to a higher state of awareness. At eight years my senior, he challenges and prods me. I need that from time to time to keep me honest. We talked this morning.

I asked him if it bothered him that his mother was trapped in a concept. He said that he wasn't because its all down to perception. The collaborative thought became that this life is all about perception the idea that the betterment of ones self is all down to the eyes. If my mother believes wholeheartedly that she is doing the right thing and in that hurts no one and even helps them to have in some ways a higher quality of life, is she to be faulted? Part of me says no, other parts of me yes.

If my mother gains the entire world as convert yet loses her last born, her most heavily trained child to a perverted concept of "love", then really what has she gained? I allow my mother to continue her existence in ignorance because she seems to need it. My mother is a bible Ninja. She will dismantle you with her NWT, mixed with a bit of selective reasoning and creative wit.

The question is what if its okay? What if I just allow her to be? She's safe, focused, goal oriented and proud of her accomplishments. My mother is not a stupid person. She chooses her life based on what she thinks she'll gain from it. Her ignorance is self imposed but that ignorance is her happiness. Who am I to take it from her?

But what if thats okay?

It sounds cool I saved it. My first reaction. Music from the demons in hell. Satins warriors.

Embrace your paganess.

Sexual Details in Disfellowshipping hearing?

by Medic!? in

i couldn't find if this was a previous topic, so i apologize in advance if it has been posted.. i am 28 years old, i have been df'd for 7-8 of those.

my parents were converted when i was 2 years old by the whole family on my mother's side.

however, about 5-10 years into it, all of that side of the family were df'd or da'd because they wanted to have sex with multiple people or smoke, drink, gamble, cuss, or whatever else they wanted.

nah. this happened to me too during my 1st committe meeting. the second i sent my best friend (an elder) as my proxy. i was busy with my worldly gf. any who... they asked all sorts of sick details. "did you touch her genitals? did you bring her to orgasm? was it intentional? did you fondle her breasts? both breasts? was the contact incidental? did you do it purposly? wait. wait wait. you slept in her bed but did not penetrate her? did you attempt to? no? i think you are lying. you mean to tell me that you slept in her bed the entire night and did not engage in sexualy intercourse? you are lying."

wonderful men these. i get they were trying to determine if i commited the acts on purpose or if i was repentant and all, but there are better, less humiliating ways of going about it. but then there is less to think about when they have to mount their sows for wives later on.
