What does that have to do with your opinion of me and my family status?
I'm busting your balls, Ho. You oughta know that by now.And you KNOW my opinion of you. You're beautiful.
I am dead to them and sadly they don't see dead people
{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Crumpet }}}}}}}}}}}}} My parents are hoping, and preaching at me, by leaving the mags with me everytime they see me, that we'll come back. We visit once in awhile,but my brother and his wife have nothing to do with us, nor our children. I haven't seen my neices and nephew in years, they're practically grown up now.
My other brother visits regularly, he's DA'd,so it's nice to share the holidays with him and his children.
Hey min 
A gift for you.

She is a friend of mine,
A lot better than when I was a jw. I was the only one of my family in the wts, and they are all very relieved to see me out.
I like her a lot, Ho. Is this a ho you know?
"Dead".....how does it feel to be viewed as dead? People know you and just make believe that you don't exist! It's emotional blackmail.
How does it feel? Let me ask you how you think it feels. Try this one. You're standing in an Intensive Care unit, having stayed up the entire night with your critically ill parent. Your previously (post leaving the org) very close cousin and her new husband who you have not met (not invited to the wedding, obviously.) come into the room to see your parent and they walk right past you as if you were a piece of furniture. You greet the cousin by name and she ignores you, a blank smile on her face as she continues talking to your parent as if you were not there. You walk out of the room to gather yourself before starting to throw things in frustration and your 'worldly' spouse comes in. Cousin's new spouse runs right up to said husband and extends his hand to introduce himself. My husband saw me leaving the room in tears, he knew that they had been ignoring me. He told me that it took all his restraint not to smash the self-righteous JW husband in the mouth for sucking up to him after ignoring me. He didn't shake his hand, he mumbled a greeting and then walked away. That's how it feels to be dead while you're still alive. And it eats you up, if you let it. I try not to let it. But some days, it gains on you more than you'd like. I just try to keep running and not look back. essie
Family? What family?

strained, very strained. But even though they have withdrawn their favor, they do still ask me to do lots of favors for them. I'm glad of that!
Can I coin a new phrase? I suffer from the disfellowshipped syndrome. I avoid contact with my family, or at least, on the occasions I do, I make sure I never bring up JW issues for fear of proving the society right in how I'm going to damage the faith of my family. I am not actively excommunicated.
