I read this book and the other one that Franz wrote – my blood boiled!!! I felt so sorry for him but he was completely right in pointing out the error the wts made. This guy knew his stuff – they just used any excuse to get rid of him for starting to expose them. Btw I thought that we all have free will to live our lives – this woman has gone against the scripture in Ephesians about not exasperating your children has she not even the bible says she should be looking after her daughter as she is her responsibility believing in jw teaching or not. Where is the love??? Would Jesus have spoken to this girl the way her mother did – I think not!!!

The letter here was written to my cousin her mother and father were divorced and she was living with her father. Since this letter was written her mother was not at her wedding was not at her fathers funeral was not there for the birth of her grandson she missed out on everything because of this cult

I am on the opposite side of the spectrum. I am a mother whose 50 & 45 year old sons won’t associate with me. My husband died at age 48 and I was disfellowshipped at age 51 after serving 26 years faithfully. No compassion or genuine love. So glad to be out but love my sons unconditionally. Just a cult.

Same here Josie. Except I was baptized at 17 (a late bloomer according to them) and was disf at 20….best thing I ever did was read Crisis of Conscience to realize they were a cult. Never been happier and never looked back.

Yes, this is all too familiar to me. I was born into the JW and was disfellowshipped at 17… my parents both went to their graves telling me I would never be happy until I returned to it… I’m now nearly 50 and still cannot believe the brainwashing that went on… it’s a big fat CULT and it destroys famililes, disgusting GRRRRR!!!

I hate to say it, but much of what this “mother” has written sounds like a broken record from my own family. This poor girl received this message at a time when teens desperately need positive reinforcement, support from their mothers and most importantly, unconditional love, which is being shamefully withheld. I hope her mother loses a lot of sleep over her own behavior, and that the girl has a loving support system from her dad’s side of the family.
I really wish the JWs could really and truly hear themselves when they speak.

Reblogged this on My Journey and commented: How horrible to have your own mother speak this way to a child.
