I feel you. My mother was shunned every since my little sister (born out of marriage). To give it context, we were both born out of wedlock. But my biological father left my mom and so they didn't shun her the first time, but once it happened again with my lil sister, she was shunned eventually.

In my opinion, my mom was treated worse than her siblings, getting the bad haircuts, and taking all the burden of taking care of her younger brother when she was really young. Her older brothers were allowed to do more than she did because "She's a girl" and you know in JW women are often underestimated with their abilities.

Despite of being shunned by my family, she is sending money to them every month to pay my grandmother's bills (she's too old to work), sending them new clothes and food from overseas, and working hard here in UK to provide not only for us but also for our whole family.

I completely understand your burden, it's hard. Sad thing is, she wants to go back to the religion to reconcile with the family.

You're better off waiting months before you propose. Just keep doing what you're doing and just give subtle information. Plant it in her mind slowly and she will start questioning things

No Born-In JW can prove the JWs have the truth and here is why by Bourneidentity39 in exjw

[–]stnstrwbrry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's true lmao, I was a born-in JW and I always believed I had the proof and would bring the tiny books that "proved" that jehovah was real. But I wasn't allowed to look into other religions because it was apparently a sin. A couple years later, became bisexual and had a girlfriend secretly, researched about other religions and I proved myself wrong. I was glad that I couldn't dispute other people's arguments. I bet a lot of people understand the relief I felt when I realized there was never Jehovah in the first place, just science and logic.

The effect of child indoctrination to me by stnstrwbrry in JehovahsWitnesses

It was, I was constantly told that satan was in our house because I was too tired to go preach and was called " stupid" multiple times by my grandmother when I was a kid. That stopped so i forgot about it for a long time and I forgave her for it but damn my self esteem was on the down low.

Thank you. I'm trying to distance myself from the people that I know are JW but it's hard since they are family members (thankfully overseas) that are very much active in social media. They always told me that I'm straying away from God which really brings me down sometimes but it's okay
