    Yes I miss my family too or I should say I miss not having a close relationship with my JW brother and sister and my father also

    My family has made it so I don't miss them. Glad you still have something to miss.

    1) I don't miss my family telling me I have offended someone in the circuit, but they won't tell me who, let alone what I did, I have to KNOW

    2) I don't miss finding out that a discreet inquiry would have let them know I was 500 miles away when the so-called offending event happened

    3) I don't miss my mother calling up to tell me her pedophile ex-husband has died, that she has been divorced from for 40 years.

    4) I don't miss my family telling me that they love me but because being just seeing a picture of me reminds me of their sad past that had nothing to do with

    5) I don't miss the elders telling me that my family has been unhappy with my actions; I'm over 35, live on my own, pay my own bills, don't break any laws, and haven't sad a bad word about them to the elders although I have great cause...the elders slink away realizing they have been used to "hurt" another sheep

    6) I don't miss a certain elder who would get his info from his wife mixed up and chew me out for what the other Sister Blondie had done and nary an apology.

    7) I don't miss being asked what illness I have, being told that Sister Faithful has the same, makes all the meetings and regular pioneers....but she is married to a non-JW man who pays her way, she has 3 daughters at home who do the cooking, cleaning and laundry, who has never put gas into any vehicle she has owned although the state only has self-serve pumps.

    8) I don't miss being told that I am not really sick; because if I was, I would use the expensive hokum remedy from a JW doctor in Mexico (fled the US govt and the FDA); I must want to be sick to get out of my spiritual responsibilities.

    If people only abuse you 2 days out of the week, it doesn't make the other 5 enjoyable.

    Here cut off my toe so I can appreciate the other 9.

    Each finger is a meeting; which one do you want me to cut off.

    Good thing other body parts aren't included.

    My mama and daddy even though I try to pretend I don't give a sh*t. Everyone wants their family.

    Sometimes - just sometimes - I miss someone else doing my thinking for me. Life is difficult so it's no wonder that the simplistic belief system espoused by the witnesses - Trust the Watchtower: It will guide you to eternal life - can have a very strong attraction.

    Not a damn thing.

    I used to miss some of my old "friends". The few that I did care about and who cared about me, I made contact with and got a positive response. The rest weren't really my true friends anyway.

    i only miss one thing.

    the family that i grew up with. they even put me up in there house when i had some rough times. though they did kick me out when thier oldest son, and ex-bethilite, found out i got drunk and was making out with another drunk witness chick. then told his parents and i got the boot because thier son said he didnt want me in the house anymore.

    sucks but i know that he was just more brainwashed then the rest, and inspite of that happening i still have some love for that family. they were my second home for 15yrs of my life. i was the only person who could just walk right in that house.

    one of thier sons became more like a brother to me then a friend, he too almost got out but at the last few moments decided against it. i think he got scared because of the being shunned part by his family or what have you. the parents used to think of me as just another one of thier sons.

    anyway i still keep in contact with them and they still might wonder how i am. but then again since im not a member of the borg they might have just brushed me off, but even after it was official and i DA'd myself they still invited me over for dinner in a way to say goodbye.

    thier father stepped down from being an elder many years ago and doesnt go to meetings as often as he used to. said he had anxiety problems being around all those people, that might be true but maybe he just found out the real "truth" and couldnt stand being around it anymore, but he loves his family so he stays in. and now that im out i think its the latter. maybe ill ask him next time i see them.
