I spoke with one of my dub siblings this morning (this sib has been talking to me recently). This is how the conversation went:
Sib: Do you know about the rumors circulating about you?
Me: Nope
Sib: Could your ex be starting them?
Me: Tell me what is being said and I might have a clue.
Sib: You are going to be furious! I was furious and I went off on the person who told me.
Me: I doubt I will get furious.
Sib: It is going around that you are hanging with known apostates and you have been protesting against the [dubs].
Me: *laughing* Really? That is pretty interesting...I moved away from that congregation and town, I never see anyone from there, I live a quiet life and I am too busy to preach for or against the [dubs]. *more laughing* Don't these people have better things to discuss? I have been df'd for a little over a year now & I was inactive years before that happened. Anyway, I don't think the ex is spreading that, but the couple who was spreading rumors about my marriage right before and immediately after the d'fing is probably behind it. Who cares? I don't. Sorry you guys were needlessly upset, but I can't remember the last time I picketed anything much less a KH.
So, my guess is that perhaps these fine outstanding dubs are lurking on this forbidden site and stumbled across one of my posts and guessed who I was. (So if you are reading this you gossipmongers...according to the strict guidelines of the GB you are hanging out with known apostates too AND you are a couple of hypocrites to boot). I just think it is so childish to spread rumors when they have more serious things to discuss like the end of the world and mass destruction of non-dubs and then there is that whole "true- Christian-brotherhood-we-are-better-than-anyone-else" concept to preach about.
Can you feel the "Christian" love radiating from the dubs when you hear crap like this? What about you? Ever had a similar situation?

If a rumor started that you were hanging around known mind-controlled dub's, THAT might be something to be furious about. Hanging around apostates? Eh, you could do worse. :-)

I don't know who the apostates are given that the JW doctrines are often contradicted by Biblical verses, and if an ex JW wants to talk against the WTS s/he has every right to do so. The dubs must reply and defend their positions.
