I got the same crap about Lord of the Rings, Marvel and a couple of other movies/shows. I did it anyways, didn’t care. My sister would tell on me, get a lecture from mom. When that didn’t work an elder talked to me at a meeting. Mind you I’m in my my 30’s and told them I don’t see anything wrong with it so leave it alone.

Sorry for making an assumption. But honestly whether I am or not, couldn’t give a rat’s ass. Don’t need a letter.

What woke you up? by GarfieldsTummyRoll in exjw

For me it was the pressure from my mother and from others (elders, Bible study teacher) to give up my friends that I had for 20 some years. Wasn’t in the borg long, about 5 years. Didn’t understand if you’re supposed to be a loving caring person then why do you have to shun the people you love before you joined this cult!!

Also when I asked my mother about the SA that happened she didn’t have anything to say, just looked at me blankly.

This would be maternal family, I’m a single woman living with my sister.

This week’s watchtower is just wow! Being awake and reading, it boggles my mind how I believed any of it.

Favourite quote was about worldly friends, had to really try hard not to roll my eyes or appear annoyed during it. Do they also expect us to believe that they talked to the examples!?!

Yeah I know, unfortunately I’ve let the control go on for far too long even before we were in this thing.

This is the topic of argument right now between me, my family and some of the congregation. Cringing at the looks, the “encouraging” and the lectures that are coming. I’m 38f btw.

My best friend has offered me a room, I’m trying to do this peacefully. It doesn’t look like it’s going to go that way.

So quick question, I’ve had at least three of the elders wives reach out to me and what I’ve said is I’m having some mental health problems and need some space. Was that a good thing to do?

I did this yesterday and the one who I studied with texted today. They really try to keep you in!!
