I just don't care anymore what they think, or any other religious person, my spirituality is between God and me, and it seems God doesn't care either. I'm just floating through life enjoying whatever I feel is interesting and moral by my standards. Works for me so far.

I'm going to my cousin's wedding next month. It will be all JWs. Seriously, I don't know if I'll be able to contain myself. Maybe I shouldn't even go.Bradley
PS -- My uncle -- the grooms father -- is STILL not reinstated. Looks like he won't even be allowed to attend his own son's wedding. Evil.
Sounds like ya should go hang out with your uncle that day instead.

If you're considered to be evil by someone or group that really and truely is evil ( and proves itself evil by their distruction of families ), what does that make you ?
Doesn't the rules of mathmatics state that 2 negatives make a positive ?

I would prefer that they think of me as D: an interesting person. In reality, I am viewed as E: invisible.
I know I have ones who think A,B and C. My mother thinks I am weak. She thinks I left because I got weak for love and sex and since I can never have a scripural freedom for a new relationship, she will ease her mind that is why I 'had to take a break'. One friend took the opposite ie. C, I am this evil immoral nasty person.
I don't think I am any of them. I'd like to think I have just been enlightened and had my blinders taken off
Actually.. I would prefer that they dont think of me at all.
I think they view me as one of those converts who "never made the truth his own".
I wasn't a well-known or popular JW, I'm sure that those who did know me weren't too sad to hear about my "spiritual shipwreck".
"I always wondered if Dan was going to make it in the truth"
"He never developed deep roots"
"He hated the door to door, I think that was a lot of it"
stuff like that
I would prefer that they view me as I truthfully was - an emotionally troubled individual who was ripe for a manipulative and totalitarian cult structure to take over his thinking and actions, who eventually got himself together (a little bit) and realized that something was very very wrong in JW-land.
But I guess that'd be asking too much...
I don't know what they think of me but I think of them as A, B and C .
Most definitely C
Might be
Do I care? nope
maybe there should be a D for "too ill, depressed to attend, now spiritually weak".That is what they think, but is is not so.
If i had a preference i would prefer my sister Freda had talked to me when i inquired about her illness over the phone because my brother Albert had said she was not feeling well . But when i called her she told she was feeling fine ,so i said albert told me otherwise . Then she said are you going to the K.H. Don and i replied no and she said , well we have nothing in common and hung up on me.
As to my brother Albert who was not afraid to visit with me and talk to me is now afraid to because the cct. overseer told him i was a dangerous person and i consider that a compliment, but would prefer he remember the good times we spent together as brothers and family .
But my major concern or preference is what my Father who is heaven thinks of me and more important to me above all else ,not that i know HIM ,but that HE knows me . That is my preference.
