My PIMI Sister has decided that she will stop shunning me because she knows how much I love her, my niece & nephew. As long as I don’t talk to her about my advocacy, nor she talks to me about “the truth.”Going out to dinner alone with her. 1st time in a while. 😬🤷🏼♀️🤞🏼

The pit in your stomach when you break down & tell your JW dad you’re feeling very depressed & a bit exhausted with life & he says “That’s just a sign you’re not reading your Bible & praying enough. Do so & you will feel better!”

I stood up to my ex fiancé who abused me for 4 years, because his current pregnant fiancé is now also being abused the same way and called me in a panic.

As a JW woman we are conditioned to be submissive to men with a strict way of living. Swayed by biblical examples & told its by Gods Holy spirit, but in reality it’s the dogmatizing abuse of the Governing Body ruled by men.

Shunning is heartbreaking & terrible. Being re-shunned, is just plain heartbreaking & toxic.

To them. Not engaging with a disfellowshipped person is one of the organizations most toxic practices.
