I was checking some old threads and messages and came across people's messages and threads that have passed on ((Dansk)) ((Oompa)) Two guys that I liked and shared some laughs / thoughts / hopes / encouraging words with. Pulled at my heart strings.
You're still remembered.
I was reading a post from 2 years ago. It was from poster C.T.Russell. He was thinking of suicide, at his last post. Has anyone heard from him?
Just Lois
I remember Dansk and Oompa from the "old days" on this board. I'm sorry to hear they are no longer with us.
Lois: I don't remember "C.T.Russell." I hope he's okay.
Reading about Oompa is one of the threads that convinced me I had been misled about what type of people apostates were. I saw the compassion all of you were showing and was motivated to reach out to anyone disfellowshipped people I know, just to let them know I personally won't shun them.
What happen to Ommpa...last i heard he was doing well??? How did he die?
he committed suicide
Another to die because of the spiritual torture of shunning

Cant believe what I have just agreed to.. an old friend has asked me to put her and her family up for the local district assembly, and despite the fact that she and her husband know we no longer attend she still wants to come and I agreed because I didnt want to upset her and for old time sake! I am so annoyed with myself,I should have made some excuse because I dont like lying and thats what I will be doing. In the begining I didnt go to meetings because of what happened to us,but now I have real doubts about this "organisation" and I realy would never go back to ANY meeting not just this congregation. When she rings I say all the "right" things but as she is talking to me, in my head I am thinking.."God your such a stupid woman" thats terrible! Just want OUT!!! Its too late now. Its not fair because their quite nice little people but all I have in common with them is a shared past. Very sad. How did I get here??
