A Parent Writes…

N. O.

December 9 at 9:06 PM ·

Tonight all members of my family including my children will be tuning into their midweek meeting on zoom. They will be reinforcing the rules of shunning family members that are no longer JW.

They liken exjw family members to the sons of Aaron who sinned against god so he immediately killed them and then went one step further and told Aaron and his family that they were not allowed to mourn or grieve the loss.

This is how watchtower operates, cruel, unwavering manipulation and bullying.

There is no greater manifestation of natural affection than that of a parent and their child yet watchtower chooses to hijack and weaponize the family bond to control its members.

My family thinks of me as one of Aaron’s dead sons, but worse.

They mourn the loss of my brothers Jeremy and Jared and they think of them affectionately while their hearts have become filled with bitterness and outright shame at the mention of my name. And for what? For my choice to leave the cult they raised me in.

I hate that my children are being exposed to this manipulation tonight and I feel helpless as I see the effect it has on them.

It is a disgusting organization led by power hungry narcissists.

One day I hope it has to answer for what it has done. Some day...
