it has been 2 and a half years since my departure from the religion.
i was told by my parents from the start that i would never speak to them until i returned to jehovah dog.
a few months later they told people they hoped i died before the end came, then all of this culminating in them telling my inactive / fading sister that they don't consider me a child anymore and they have given me up to satan.
PAUL- After reading the rest of page 3 I am very impressed with how you were able to openly communicate with your wife, daughter, and son about your doubts and it opened up freedom of speech even more so within your home with everyone in your home knowing where each other stood on the JW issues. That act in and of itself was VERY huge. It solidified and united your little family against the onslaught from your Ogre mom.
Also it seems after reading more I get the impression that your dad is totally dominated by your mom - is a total panty waste when it comes to standing up to her for her abusive behavior. And that's another reason your mom runs around unchecked like an abusive wild mustang butting heads with her children and trampling them down. I mean- hell- your mom should be thanking her lucky stars ( your unlucky stars ) that child protective services didn't come into your home when you guys were growing up and yank you and your siblings out of there. But the abuse she handed out to you was probably not known by anybody outside the home- I'm assuming ? Or am I wrong ? Did the elders in the congregations know at all or were they aware of it- and just turn their heads shrugging their shoulders ?
Bottom line in the here and now is you've done a good job in protecting your family from this abusive woman and I know you'll continue to do so. You are a good man, a good person in protecting your family from this emotional vampire who wants to hand out guilt and fear to you. Please know and realize that we care , hang in there bud

PAULOMARK- After reading your thread and the letter your JW mother sent you- you have my complete support and understanding. This woman is a complete sociopath and abuser who is totally oblivious to the damage she causes to you and your family and even more- she doesn't care as she is completely narcissistic as well.
I mean her statement, " In the same vain that Jehovah saw fit to cast Satan down - out of his heavenly home and out of his love I have resolved in my heart to do the same. I have begged Jehovah to remove the motherly love I have for you in my heart. " This includes you and your family . " This is DISGUSTING and BARBARIC behavior. So she compares herself to " Jehovah " casting you out and then compares you to " Satan " - even compares by extension your wife and children to " Satan " by treating them the same.
There are no excuses for this woman. Mind controlled or not- she is just pure evil, vitriolic, and hateful. For her to even THINK that if there is a God in this universe that she would be forgiven for the child abuse she brought on you when you and your sister were younger ? She has another think coming. This woman and her husband need to be locked up and the key thrown away. I'm sorry- but that's how I see it. There is mind control - yes- but this goes beyond just simple mind control- her behavior is vindictive, cruel, and inhumane. I have an ex-wife that has treated her own son, my son in a similar manner and there are no words that can justify abhorrent, psychological and emotionally abusive behavior.
We are here as a support for you and offer our friendship. You are making the right decision in avoiding this cancerous person in you and your family's life. Talk about a bad influence- THAT SHE is. If you ever want to chat on the phone, just PM me my friend. Hang in there, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

being very interested in psychology i read a book as a teenager and re-read it last year called " gestalt therapy verbatim " by frederick perls m.d.
ph, d. .
it deals with dreamwork therapy in which he conducted seminars helping people to re-connect with subconscious parts of themselves by recounting their dreams .
Saw this older thread had been replied to- thought I'd respond and bump it up.
UCANTNOME- Sorry to hear that you had a bad nightmare, but glad to hear you had a good dream as well. I sometimes find that I'll dream about something I've read or watched on T.V. as well. Dreams are incredibly interesting sometimes and mundane at other times. Take care
help from a loving jehovah's witness elder part 1. this elder is clearly out of touch with all emotion period as this poor girl pours her heart out to him.

ask a question, and i will help with a simple answer, not an over referenced i'm smarter than you vent.

the "end" of mankind, which has been long predicted by jehovah's witnesses, could happen as soon as this year - according to latest announcement from the christian religion.. in the latest edition of jehovah's witnesses monthly publication watchtower, an article translated into 700 languages - urges people to join the religion or face certain death when god sends his forces from the heavens to "remove all world leaders," "exterminate his enemies" and "rid the world of satan".. critics have lambasted the warning of a coming armageddon as yet another "failed prediction" by the religion, which has previously delivered similar alerts such as a foretold apocalypse in 1975.. indeed, jehovah's witnesses have been warning people of the need to recognise jehovah or face certain death when the "end" comes for more than 100 years.. the christian-based religion was founded in the 1870s by charles taze russell in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, us, as an offshoot from the bible studies movement.. today, there are 8.2million jehovah's witness evangelists, while 19.9 million celebrated their annual memorial festival marking christ's death - worldwide in 2014.. followers do not believe in military service and will not accept blood transfusions.. in a new eight-page article, watchtower said jehovah's witness leaders are now "convinced" humans are in their "final days" before the armageddon.. they cite an increase in global armed conflict, such as the rise of the islamic state terror group, as well as natural disasters such as volcanoes and earthquakes.. the lengthy article, written by an unnamed author, said: "will god let humans continue to dominate one another and threaten the future of mankind?
no, as we have seen, he will step in and bring an end to centuries of misery and oppression.
" The publishers of this magazine and many of it's readers have no doubt that this unique period really is the last days and that the end is near. "
Aha ! Tricky marketing ploy by the WT leaders - Guilt by way of association ! Translation : We the WT leaders aren't the ONLY ones claiming the end is near ! Many of our READERS are sure the end is near as well ! So if 8 million people believe it - it must be true, right ?
No, hold on there cowboy- all it means is that there are 8 million superstitious bat-shit crazy people like you the WT leaders who THINK it's true. Just claiming it's the alleged " end times " - doesn't make it true. 139 years have passed since 1879 when Russell said the " end " would happen in 1914. If my left nut hangs lower than my right nut- doesn't make it a bowling ball- it's still a testacle. If no " Armageddon " has ever happened before with ANY of the predictions by William Miller, Harold Camping, or the WT Society - you can be pretty well assured that any predictions now or in the future are false
