How does it work?
Try not to get addicted to this place- your friends will notice the difference--

Thanks Zid. I am sure I will figure this out given some time. I have been out so long! 28 years! I guess why I got on this sight is to learn and just be around others that share that. Since you said to be careful because it was a monitered site I am not sure what to say here as to not affend anyone! It seems so different to read everyones posts, than to be a part of it. I do have a question. If I have a family member that was dfed YEARS ago, went on with life, remarried yadda yadda, and that person, under a different name, has informed me they are studying(not confessing) with plans to get back in the org.....(have moved far away from the dfing cong)..............what the heck? I guess I can say I will not interfere with someones spiritually, but this has got to be the TOP of the jw game. What are the chances the org would catch on and has anyone ever heard of such a thing? Just really perplexed here! anyone insight would be wonderful. thanks

"Since you said to be careful because it was a monitered site I am not sure what to say here as to not affend anyone!..."
Oh, honey, don't worry about OFFENDING people!!!
I was talking about INTERNET SAFETY - a TOTALLY different situation!!
You DON'T post:
Your real name.
Your real location. Or specific entertainment venues - like, "Cheyenne Frontier Days" or "National Western Stock Show" - that someone could look up, and find out where and when it's held...
Your family's names.
Your place of work - or be too specific about what kind of work you do [i.e. "I work in the accounts payable department for a large computer company that sells Apple 'tablets' - that's too specific...]
Your neighbor's real names.
Your kingdom hall name and location, or names of anyone in the kingdom hall. You might want to be a bit vague describing certain JWs - saying, "She's an elderly JW who uses a walker and gets her time in by preaching on Facebook" is vague enough - maybe - but err on the side of caution.
Other than that, HAVE AT IT!!

As to this question:
"... If I have a family member that was dfed YEARS ago, went on with life, remarried yadda yadda, and that person, under a different name, has informed me they are studying(not confessing) with plans to get back in the org.....(have moved far away from the dfing cong)..............what the heck?

Hee hee heee heeee!
There's a whole SUB-culture of JWs who are doing that!
It's called "fading"...
Let me get some links...

Here is a woman who went back into the Jehovah's Witnesses - being 'reinstated' and all that - just so she could get her daughter OUT...!!
It's a fascinating and well-discussed topic on this board, so there are LOTS of threads on the subject.

"...says the Dragon Lady." Vidiot
Hey, as the self-proclaimed "Dragon Lady" on this board, it's MY self-proclaimed job to "offend" people.
Best excuse I've come up with, yet, for my grating and obnoxious personality...

hey not sure how to reply to specific people..................thanks Zid for the links. I understand the fading thing but is it the same as.....someone leaves under one name...(dfed)....remarries (a woman) duh, hee hee................ moves away from dfing congregation, then just starts the process all over again as a "new member" like someone that has never studied or associated with jw's like its a new found religion! I guess just wanna know besides fading is there a term for this process? I have heard them mention that jehovah has blessed them so much now! maybe it is working.(shrugging shoulders)
