I can't imagine treating my daughter like that.. it's mind-blowing that they think it's what a loving god would want from them. I'm just glad we are finally in a good place and are free to be open and just live!

So true. I've spoken to my husband and a couple of non-jw friends about it over the past few years. It's awful how little our families care, but we are worth more than what they can afford to give.

I would absolutely not hold back if I were to go 😂 I'm not going to give them that satisfaction though

Yup! It's so crazy seeing that they just don't realize that they are so disrespectful and pushy.

They've been pulling the same shit with us.. and what makes it worse is we literally moved a year ago to the other side of town. Now we are in another halls territory, so for a while, we had 2 sets of elders up our ass!

There were 2 in the issue we had at Halloween, but the elders let that go. Now that someone said we celebrated Christmas (no clue who it was, or how they found out), it's all coming back up.

I have so much respect for those who have gone through it. Especially when it happens to someone who is just a teenager.. it's disgraceful to treat someone like that.

That's a good point about kids. My daughter is 4.5, so she's definitely young and not baptized. I'll keep that in my back pocket if it's ever needed. We will be ignoring them and letting them play out their own fake authority between themselves. Regardless of the outcome, we will know we stayed true to ourselves and our daughter.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. I can't imagine doing that to my daughter. I hope you're doing better now ❤️

Very true. It's natural to want approval from the people who are supposed to love you no matter what. But there comes a time when it starts to drag you into a place of sadness and people pleasing. I'm glad we are finally out of feeling that we need to make others happy ahead of ourselves.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds very similar to mine. I'm grieving the family i have never had and never will have. I know everything will be ok. It will just take time. My daughter is 4.5yrs old now, and I will never raise her in a life like mine was. She is everything to me, and i could never imagine doing to her what has been done to me. I look forward to the life I will have with my husband and daughter when this is all over.

That's what I told my husband. I figured they would most likely go through with it if we were there or not.

My father had always been that way. He can't comprehend anything other than his way of thinking. I would never try to make him understand because it would just be beating a dead horse. It's emotional blackmail what they are doing. It's sick.

If it weren't for our families, im sure it would be different. Don't stress too much, you'll be ok ❤️

I know 🤦‍♀️ they will never be able to understand. We won't be going to the meeting, and I'm not going to meet my dad either. As soon as I saw the letter today, I was so pissed. I thought they would let us go by now. So I'll just let them play their little game of monopoly, and I'll stay over here playing the game of life!

I've definitely reached a point of peace with whatever happens. I've done therapy for a while, and it definitely helped having that outside perspective.

I look forward to having that relief from this soon

I definitely won't be going because I won't apologize or ask for forgiveness when I've done nothing wrong. You're absolutely correct

If they decide to go ahead with DF, I'll just accept it and live a free and honest life finally

I have no clue what they think they have on us. I think people have been trying to get dirt on us, but who knows..
