Well not new to the site, but never made a formal introduction. So hello everyone!
First like to thank those who put this site together and make it possible for us who
need a place to go and work things out. I have been reading post on this site for
a little more than a year.
I’m still in good standing, but haven’t been to a meeting in a long time. My wife is
a JW and just doesn’t seem to see what I see. The elders in the Hall I think have
an idea that I’ve been turned by “ apostate “ ideas. I’ve had a few of the friends
come by and visit me and it’s so sad because I want them to see all the b.s. that I see.
It’s a trip listening to jw’s talk now that I’m on the out side. When you get away from it
everything seems much clearer. It’s very hard to explain to others who aren’t jw’s.
What made me introduce myself after so long a time of coming here reading posts?
………dono. But something happen to me a few weeks ago that made me feel a
certain feeling that only those that have been disfellowshipped can feel. It really made
me think of how the “ friends “ can turn on you in a heart beat.
Here is what happen. I’ve talked to a couple of the “ friends “ that have come by to
see me and well you know how it is they start to asking and you start to talking a little to much.
Anyway rumors start to fly and you know how fast that happens as a JW.
A witness friend stops by and invites my wife and I to dinner on the weekend. So that was
Tuesday and by Saturday I get this call from this “ friend “ and he tells me that there is a
problem. I said oh what’s wrong? He says that one of the friends that were coming over
heard that I was going to be there and told them they were not coming. Well he asked
if it was true that I didn’t believe in God. I said what!.....of course I believe in God.
I told him don’t worry about it I’ll stay home.
I couldn’t believe that I was being shunned and I hadn’t done
anything wrong. My wife was very hurt. I was hoping that would of
caused something in her to click and get her to start to question her
belief in the WTS. I could only hope. For those who have never been
shunned by those you thought cared about you is truly an eye opener and
that’s why I felt I had to post it.
I want to thank you in advance for all the welcomes. My time is very limited
with work and all. Plus, I don’t like to be here on the forum when my wife is home.
Keep up the good work in exposing the WT for who they really are and pray for
our loved ones who are slaving for the Org.
