My story is the same. My mother shunned me for 30 years before she died of Alzheimers. I felt no sadness when she died. She ignored my 2 daughters from when they were about 6 & 8 years old. They didn’t understand and neither do I. One day I realized she was living in a fantasy land and I had to walk away from her religion. Free will they say as long as they ok what you do. We finally got them to stop coming to my door. My hubby told them that everyone who lived in our house was disfellowshipped. They have never been back. YAY!!!

You only have one life. I will not waste my life with this crap!!

I just read this post and am actually amazed that your mom really *said* the words “I love god more than my children”. That is exactly what the parents who disown their children are FEELING but most of them don’t have the guts to actually say the words, I know mine didn’t. It is so incredibly hard but I applaud you both for still having any contact at all.

Wow, as i read this i felt like i was reading a conversation between my mother and i. My step father was an elder and mother was a pioneer. So as you would know, instead of waking up to watch cartoons sat morning, like normal kids do, I was knocking door to door, every weekend, no excuses. at 15, i decided i didnt want to go to the hall anymore, my mother said ” if you dont go tonight, no school tomorrow” I was put in different music classes since they wanted me to someday play the songs at the hall. At 15, they kicked me out. my step father said he would not lose his privileges over me. I tried living with them many times, but at 18, i was out for good. Now I am 28, a single mother of two. I live w my parents again since i had no where to go….im a full time student. recently, my mother told me that we had to move out, my step dad wants privileges again and he cant if there is a “worldly” person living under his roof. I have no where to go…they dont care if i live on the streets with a 4 years old and a 15 month old….i hate how my mother follows everythng my st3p dad says, because thats how jehova wants it. bullshit. she is sooo brainwashed, here eyes have no depth when she talks, her response to everything is “the end is coming soon” i feel so hopeless…

AND YES! MY PARENTS TOLD ME THAT THEY LOVE GOD MORE THEN ME, AND THEY MEAN’T IT, NEVER TALK TO ME AGAIN (I AM ALMOST 40 YEARS OLD).I LOST ALL MY FAMILY, ALL 16 PEOPLE, BECAUSE THEY ALL ARE JW. I MOVED ANOTHER CONTINENT TO LIVE AND I STILL CAN’T FORGET THIS FIST 18 YEARS OF MY LIFE.
I AM WONDER IF IT IS SOME COUNSELING FOR EX-JW.

For Damo:
It is almost impossible after JW change religion, because the fear, what is inside you for life, dont’t let you.

For J.
I am sorry, but you don’t know what you are talking about. Kids in JW families goes thru hell and later in life never get over it. And there families will always keep hurting and brainwashing you, even if is that 20 years later.

I’m about to be kicked out by my JW mother when I turn 18. I’m probably going to move with my boyfriend on the other side of the country to live with him and his dad. My mother has already cut off all of our “wordly” family, so she’s the last piece of family I have besides my sisters, which is heartwrenching because I realize that I have to cut her completely out of my life. No matter what, she’s going to feel like she’s “lost” me. I feel really bad for leaving my 12-year-old sisters in this repressive and horrible environment. How any organization that makes it’s believers do shit like this could claim itself loving, just, and “the truth” is beyond me.
