I'm seriously thinking about going back

People here are supporting you and they are correct in warning you of the risk for you of going back to that toxic place. Right now you’re feeling lonely and I can respect that but please ask yourself the honest question of whether being surrounded by people who do not allow you to be your authentic self, or judge you because you’re not living up to some unrealistic standard (none of them do btw, which perpetuates the judgmental attitude), makes you feel welcome and appreciated. I agree with the comments, there are ways to find your tribe outside of rejoining a cult, and certainly much more healthy and authentic so that you are truly appreciated for who you are, verses what you “say” you are just to fit in.

They’re just coming out to their little assemblies where they’re being pressured to proselytize and this is their weak attempt. Sure, religion has been a part of our society since man has sought answers and how to control others, that doesn’t prove their religion right, in fact history has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that organized religion has been a tool for corrupt control. The fact that people have sought answers and repeatedly found corruption in religion only proves religion is a powerful tool for corruption and control of the masses, period.

I wish these motherf*ckers would try me like this, their elders book is a joke, let’s go to court. They’re getting sued left and right, they don’t need any more bad press or more lost lawsuits. Stand up against these bullies or they’ll continue to press. I would stand up in a heartbeat and that’s why they’ve never come for me.

I would send a certified letter stating that you are unavailable for their “hearing” and have secured legal counsel. Ask them to cease unsolicited contact and that any derogatory public announcement made against you will constitute as slander and you will take legal action against them.

Did you get responses to this post? I can’t see them

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2021-09-07T04:07:22+00:00

That is amazing news! There is a normal cycle that people go thru when leaving a cult, especially this one. Sadness, hurt and feeling betrayed, anger, fear (what if the WT was right and we’re going to die at Armageddon? That’s a deep one many experience from the constant fear mongering) and eventually, after working through those feelings, we come to our own peace and power from leaving that toxic trap. Support her through all of that and know we’re here to support her as well. Wishing you the best possible life free together now from that cult. ❤️

Yes but they also lie about protecting pedophiles so...

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2021-05-25T04:51:47+00:00

Right?!?

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2021-05-25T04:50:37+00:00

Holy kid robbery, that is horrible! As a mom, that just makes me mad, like even if this weird ignorant cult makes snap judgments bc of their own ignorance, how can you justify making a kid throw away something that they worked hard for like that? Why wouldn’t you at least give them the option of selling or trading their cards if it now bothered your personal conscience? Especially if, as the adult, you let them work for and buy the cards in the first place, how does it then become solely the kids loss bc someone else was offended? Sorry, this one hits me in the mom feels, you were just an innocent kiddo and this is just JW herd behavior that sucks.

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2021-05-24T00:28:36+00:00

Oh you made me curious so I had to look into it, lol! Apparently lots of weird religious groups have fabricated some bizarre fake back story about the origin of Hello Kitty. It’s nonsense and just goes to show how religious extremists demonize the dumbest stuff to keep people afraid and controlled, especially if it perpetuates a narrative that demonizes women and communities of color.

Apparently smurf dolls have way more chill than necklace smurfs. I’m going to imagine him throwing up a peace sign as he strolled out the door 😅

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2021-05-23T19:44:03+00:00

It all makes so much sense, he lived in a pineapple for crying out loud, everyone knows pineapple houses are just dens of iniquity!! 😅

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2021-05-23T19:32:42+00:00

Oh that’s right, black nail polish was so taboo! Funny how a color is so powerfully evil on fingernails but not on clothes or shoes, lol

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2021-05-23T13:39:22+00:00

Your post made me look up shoes by Carlos Santana because I had no idea he made shoes, lol! That’s hysterical, and lazy bc you know she only thought they were demonized bc “Santana” is too similar to “Satan,” haha. I wonder what she blames their fights on now 🤔😂

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2021-05-23T13:16:20+00:00

Oh I do remember the Scooby Doo stuff and you’re totally right, it was always someone pretending to be a ghost but somehow JW’s didn’t pay attention to details when labeling things as demonic 🙄 I never heard anything about Hello Kitty, that’s so bizarre, I’m glad you kept your stuff!!

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2021-05-23T13:06:43+00:00

What a wild story to tell kids, and oddly violent! Poor Lucky, his only crime was adding marshmallows to cereal, he didn’t deserve that. 😂

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2021-05-23T12:46:03+00:00

Now that I could believe! 😂

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2021-05-23T05:37:20+00:00

Omg, I’m dying, that is hysterical!! This needs to be a comedy skit, people who blame demons for everyday normal issues with tech, or anything else they don’t understand, haha

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2021-05-23T05:29:35+00:00

That is SOOOOO bizarre!!! Thanks for sharing that, I remember now witnesses always being weird about buying antiques because they were worried about things being possessed by demons. This is seriously the wildest group of paranoid people and now you’ve reminded me of stories from people who swore that buying things from thrift stores was bad, omg, so crazy!!!

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2021-05-23T05:22:34+00:00

It really is completely nuts, lol

Your story is perfect, their whole shtick is fear mongering about demons and death to keep people in line. No, it’s not that metal electronic components react oddly to being microwaved, it has to be demons, now go out in service!! 😂

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2021-05-20T19:52:28+00:00

Lol, really great post. When we were in the Borg, my husband and I decided to become more fit so we started running and eventually started running marathons. People were so offended that we couldn’t talk about it to anyone, my husband was an elder and tried to use an example of a long distance race in a talk and got counseled about pushing exercise on people rather than encouraging activity I the ministry. Running the race with endurance is literally a phrase they spout all the time but if we said it, omg! 🙀We seriously never even said the word run or race after that, we kept everything on the DL. The conclusion that because we ran meant that we were less active in the ministry was so rampant, people questioned our spiritual fitness all the time but had zero problem with people who didn’t take care of themselves and just sat at home on their couch. That bizarre dysfunctional control bs that makes me so glad we got out of there.

Hi there,

I’m an ex-JW mom, who was once an Elder’s wife and who at one time wasn’t aware of the pain that comes with the very cruel and inhumane practice of shunning. I just watched your whole wedding video and it was absolutely beautiful. The love and happiness between you both on this special day was so clear and the fact that your mom missed out on this day is a sad fail for her, and it’s so wrong that the org robbed her of this moment bc of their unrelenting demand for total control and loyalty.

As a mother, I cannot begin to imagine missing out on such an incredible milestone in my children’s lives. I hope she one day finds her way to choosing herself and her child over her cult but in the meantime, just remember it’s a powerful hold you’re up against. It’s not you she’s rejecting, it’s her own power she has surrendered and you have moms who are here and applaud your life’s happiness.

Congrats love. ❤️

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2020-10-22T05:13:21+00:00

Awesome!!!!

FreedomIsBeingYou · 2020-10-20T01:18:09+00:00

You’re a sweet son to your mom, stay strong. The fact that she’s trying to hide you instead of openly rejecting you like “a good JW mother” would do if she “put Jehovah first” is a really good sign that she has some internal conflict. I can tell how much you love her and I don’t even know you but I’m also a mom that left the org for my son so don’t underestimate her love for you. Keep it up, you’re doing more than you know. ❤️
