  hi on a recent previous thread i mentioned i had sent a letter to my 19 year old sisterin law about her shunning my husband (her bro) well she lives with her mum and dad , and i know she can not have told them about receiving my letter as neither of them has mentioned it to my husband , do you think this is a good sign and that maybe she wants to check out those books i told her to read .

  i know that had she told them we would know by now how annoyed they are ..

  my husband has been so upset at her ignoring him in the street lately (he was disfellowshipped 15 years ago but , she has only just started ignoring him ,shes 19 and about to get married ) i know she must find it hard to start ignoring him all of a sudden and wonder if its her future husband to be influencing her already or just the fact that she feels "guilty"for talking to her own brother , she walked past with her fiance and they both looked at my husband but looked away when he spotted them , so he can not even be introduced to his future brother in law , like normal people .

  my husband approached his parents about it and they said it is "her decision" but he is welcome to start coming to their home again as they miss our daughter since he was banned from the home a year ago .i wrote to his sister pointing out there are other girls like her who think they are doing gods will by ignoring relatives who have been disfellowshipped from the "one true religion" and these girls went on to write books when they themselves were eventually disfellowshipped also , escape by carrolyn jessop was one book and another was not without my sister by christina jones , they were brought up in the flds and children of god religion s that they thought were the "truth" and i hope she reads these books as she will be amazed at the similarities to the jw religion .

  i told her her brother would welcome her with welcome arms if she ever wants to be in his life again , its so sad , i feel helpless ..

  i thought so too cantleave as it made the penny drop for me , and the girls who wrote those books were just like my sisterinlaw once ,ignoring fleshly bros and sisters because they thought of them as "apostate" etc and it was only when they experianced injustices themselves that they began to question whether their faith was right , and i do know it bothers her "having" to ignore her brother. she is only 19 and about to get married and leave the area of her birth so she will have a lot of changes to cope with aswell as being a very pretty and very clever girl who could have gone on to university and done so much with her life aswell as being very sporty and her school wanted her to represent her county in athletics but she said no and is a part time cleaner and fulltime pioneer , what a waste !

  i'm already being stalked by the elders, thanks to my wife.

  they had a "shepherding call" for three hours while waiting for me to come back to my house.

  if they're that determined, i'm somewhat concerned about their reaction to what i'm going to do.

  ok so i travelled home last weekend to break the news to my mum about my engagement to a 'wordly' man.. to be honest, i chickened out and instead of confronting her face to face, i decided to write a long letter to her about it.. we have never really got on and she has a knack for getting on my nerves.

  she was very emotionally abusive throughout my childhood (and can still be).

  i guess she had her reasons although it doesn't excuse the behaviour.. anyway i tried to be as diplomatic as possible.
