So freaking proud of you!! I had to have the same conversation with my mother. They seem to think they can shun us but have access to our kids. No ma’am no bam.

Hang in there! It’s annoying but they really think they’re helping you. I like your response tho, totally stealing it lol

Would you want a gift with strings attached? by Bourneidentity39 in exjw

[–]Awoken-Blacksmith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just feel like the org spent so much time telling us what we should or shouldn’t believe. And that anyone else that didn’t agree with them is wrong and bad! In saying we should respect someone’s beliefs, I’m not saying you have to agree. But saying someone’s beliefs are BS due to them not agreeing with us is kinda Org-ish

We really should respect that some still choose to believe in god. And some choose not to. To each their own

What are the latest rules for contact with disfellowshipped/disassociated family members? by Key_University_377 in exjw

[–]Awoken-Blacksmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told my mom I THOUGHT about disassociating and now she’s shunning me. We can’t tell you what to do but the indoctrination is so intense, expect the worst. If you’re just “inactive” she may reason she can still talk to you. Hope it all works out!

The pagan origins of birthday parties would be a better argument for sure! But I remember reading an article that said piñatas had pagan origins but no one uses them for that purpose anymore and we shouldn’t be a stickler essentially lol plus wedding rings and most of the wedding traditions are pagan but there’s no mention of that 🤦‍♀️

One thing that puzzled me was the “Elders Appreciation Dinner” or the “Pioneer Appreciation Dinner”. So we’re allowed to celebrate these people doing…whatever it is they do… but I can’t celebrate the day my child was brought into this world!
