Remind Your Relatives To Shun You!

    Look, I get confused!

    The problem is that Witnesses these days are often so uninvolved and lacking in real friendship that I don't know if they're

    shunning me or not! Maybe this same problem has happened to you.

    Currently, I have some hyperloyal Witness relatives who , in years past, rarely contacted me unless I first made some

    effort to talk to them. Maybe I should call them to find out if:

    1) they just don't give a damn about me

    or

    2) I'm being lovingly shunned until I resume Watchtower-related activity

    Actually, if I did resume magazine peddling, and they forgot about me, what then? It's all so confusing....

    Remind your "loving" Witness "friends" and relatives that they're "lovingly" avoiding you

    That way, you won't be confused if they act like they just don't care

    Amazing, isn't it? You need really deep discernment to distinguish Theocratic Discipline- Love from a total lack of affection.

    I can see why many people get these two mixed up.

    It's all the same. They wouldn't recognize real, unhypocritical love, even if it was parading around naked in front of them!!

    I don't care if a jerk has a 14 carat solid gold sphincter. If they treat me like a jerk, I treat them like a person who treats me like a jerk which looks to them like I am the jerk for treating them like they are a jerk. I say screw em.

    Hey Met, I'm going through the same thing. The way I see it, there is no excuse for it no matter what the reason. I came to the conclusion to get on with my life and meet some quality people.

    Hey metatron,

    You bring up a good point. I think it would surprise many here if they were to call some old friends or relatives to see what the response might be. I have been threatening to call some old dub friends and I believe many would speak and be OK with it. Apathy abounds in dubdom these says.

    But that would mean I'd have to talk with them. I don't consider them to be good association, so I do not talk with them, they don't know where I live or what my phone number is. I even had my name legally changed.

    I don't shun them out of love. I shun them out of self-preservation.
