Yeah...... my girlfiend.....Her dad was the P.O. and she was a pioneer. She decided after they df'd me that she didn't even want to be a witness anymore so she told them she's not sorry for anything she's ever done so they df'd her. She's in the process of moving out of her parents house. She's very depressed and thinks she's a bad person, but she's sick of how judgmental ppl in the truth are. She's acting kind of crazy and I'm hoping after a few weeks pass she'll calm down. She was close to her parents and she knows they will never speak to her again considering her older sister is df'd and her dad hasn't spoken to her in 8 years. We broke up last week because she's emotionally unstable right now and we thought it would be a good idea so that are next choices in life are what's good for us instead of just being about staying together. Honestly I don't want her to give up everything in her life just because I got df'd. Even if it's not the truth and she's right for leaving it still broke up there family and that's a bad thing.
The appeal process is a joke!!!

About the best you can do for this lady is help her see that it wasn't HER that broke up her
family. It wasn't her sister that caused her parents to never speak to her, nor will it be your
friend's fault that they don't speak to her.Some here hold on to bitterness toward the family members that do the shunning. That's her
choice, but help her see that they are blindly following WTS rules. They are captives to their
controls. The blame can largely be placed on WTS. -

Jake,
Have you let her know about JWD here? Even if she reads without posting, it might help her see that she's not crazy.
You're smart to cool the relationship, but make sure someone's watching out for her. Does she have friends on the outside? Her sister? Having been raised JW, this is a harsh shift from pioneer to DF. Let her know that she doesn't have to suffer alone. Plenty of folks here to give her some much needed support.
