Would You/Do You Remain As A JW "Technically"??? (page 2)

serendipity

I'm still technically a JW, though I'm officially inactive. I want to maintain this status to avoid being shunned and to minimize the chance that the family would shun my unbaptized daughter as well, due to my bad example.

You can check out any time you like... But you can never leave...LOL!

I avoided disfellowshipping for about three years after learning the 'truth about the truth'. That was done primarily to ease the relationship with a dear cousin - about my only family still alive and in the org. The burden of that became too much - and obviously I was not tight lipped enough [that is just not my style as some might have guessed].

This past week - cornered by a JC, I submitted a DA letter. I feel great freedom as a result of that. I know that some have to do what they have to do - I doubt I could have carried it off for many years - but I feel for those who must. What a horrible religion that makes people play these games just to remain in the family.

I am still a dub, not even inactive, just irregular. I can see a time when i am DF or DA'ed if I can get the rest of my family out.

"Tecnically" I am an apostate.

In reality I left an apostate religious cult.

Regardless of what the WTB&TS says and even if they "cast you out"; Nobody can take GOD away from you. ONLY you can deny GOD. That is freedom of choice.

I've been an evil apostate bastard for 11 years but am getting re-instated so I can have a family life with my grandchildren and daughter. I have absolutely no plans of any ministry work, theocratic school.......rather I will sit a couple of hours a week and listen to something I abhor in many ways....but it's a price I'm willing to pay since this is the only way to have a life with my loved ones before I go to my grave. It's sad a religion can make one stoop to this level to have their family.

Technically I am inactive. Many years ago I was Df'd and I do not choose that route this time. I moved away and therefore am living under the radar. I stay inactive so that I can keep some of my old friends.

Yes, as far as I know. But the catch is, the only JW's that matter to me consider me as apostate and dead.
