Hello 3rdgen:
Well we care about you know matter what. Are the friends that left the organization have you looked them up since you left. Who knows they could be on this JWN site for all you know. If not you still have us to keep in touch with. We need you too. So hang in there. Just wanted you to know that my husband and I send our love your way. Take care of yourself.

caliber, funny you should mention your experience about your brief work at a church. I remember the days when you were NOT to do any work whatsoever for a religious org. In fact, a dub was not to even shop at a Salvation Army store etc. Yet some years later our cong rented the Catholic Social services building for their memorial. (I kid you not!) The catholic sign is promanant on the building. Hubby and I were horrified when we(active JWs at the time) drove into the parking lot and saw it. How's THAT for hypocracy? Excuse me for going off topic but after all, it's MY thread.
We were very popular in the circuit. Born in 4th gen good little dubbies. We've only had 1 visitor/ 0 phone calls. We've been out 7 years.
All of those years that we sacrificed to the borg didn't amount to much

A person sees the reasoning or mind set here , it's not about "brotherly love "but obedience to the faithful slave.
Whenever person ever goes to a meeting the "welcoming ones" always say the same thing "It's good to see you here "
What I have said in the past is "Well it's good to see you here too, or at Walmart or wherever.... that's how true brotherly love works right ? "
True love will meet you halfway... it's all the way at the KH or nothing at all....."conditional love'
It's easy for me to say don't take it personally ...if you understand the mind set... but how can you not after believing these people
were your true loving brothers ?
Adventurousone, Hi to you and hubby too! you are too kind. On another thread i said that my opinion is that if a persons nature is to be caring and kind they will tend be that way regardless /in spite of their religion. OTOH, if a person is an ass %^ by nature he will be even worse with authority or in a religion/cult.
Be happy you discovered the WT/JW fables of "going after lost sheep" are just myths.
cultclassic, I can relate. So much for the parable about the shepard leaving the 99 to search out and find the 1 lost sheep.
I firmly believe the GB wants the local BOEs to take increasing action against inactives/faders.
All the extremist rhetoric is definately going to create more, so they'll have their work cut out for 'em.

This no doubt is true above , but as pointed out to me even the most loving elders that wish to shepherd in love
help restore "discouraged ones" in time are shot down or burn out because their field service hours will suffer ...they will hear about it
from the other elders or the CO... hours are everything you know

public hangings of even many women by the Nazi's sent fear through the towns of Russia
the amazing courage of so many young women during World War II who were put to death for plotting and fighting against the Nazis, as resistance fighters, partisans and activists in towns and concentration camps
