Question...

Tuesday

Have you found any of your friends that were disfellowshipped before you left after losing touch with them? I've found it to be extremely difficult, I'm thinking of just giving up maybe some positive stories will motivate me to look longer.

Yup, found my best friend who was df'd over 10 years ago. I'm on instant messenger with her right now... our almost daily habit.

Keep looking, it's worth it!

I found a very good friend of mine who left years before I did. I am very glad that I did.

I've hooked up with a few of my friends. Some I haven't been able to find. There's one in particular I'd like to find because I feel bad for having shunned him so badly when I was still a dub. But yeah, I have at least two successes, so chin up!

I reunited with my good friend Brother Jack Daniels.

My best friend of 20yrs left the orginization around 1992 and of course me being at the time a witness I could no longer be her friend. My father was on her Judical Committee and my father told me that in spite of being disfellowshiped your friend asked me to tell you that no matter what she still loves me and that if things could have been different she wished wished that I wouldn't be hurt.

So when I was difellowshiped in 1999 I was reluctant to call her. Her daughter worked in Canadian Tire and one day I saw the daughter and I told her I was no longer in the organization, and she said well call mom she would love to here from you. I was a little shy about it so I just let it pass. And on another occaision I saw the girl again and she said mom is expecting you to contact her. I let it ride as things were very topsy turvey for a while with me. In the mean time she called my ex husband and he didn't recognize her voice and she said could she talk to me and he said to her, she has left me and is divorcing me and I have no Idea where she is living. So that was that. She called my son, she found his number some how through a mutual friend we once had as a friend. So anyways my son calls me and tells me Diane wants you to contact her.

So I finally did and the rest is history we picked up as if we were never seperated. It was unbelievable and we are still the best of friends.

When she was disfellowshipped I took it real hard. But now I am so happy she persisted in finding me.

I love her dearly

So good things can happen after disfellowshipping. And I am suprised at the number who have also left since I left the organziation. It like so many are leaving now. People are so pissed off and unhappy with the congregation and the WTS itself and its ever changing concepts of scripture. So many are unhappy because friends have stopped spending time with others and people are no longer caring and people in the halls are having divisions and cliques and what ever else. So it seems there is some kind of exodus out to of the organization.

I found such a friend living only 10 minutes away! I was looking at the www.exjws.net website and his name was listed in the names section.

He left the JW's at age 18 by DA'ing himself. At that time you wouldn't get DF'd for talking to someone who was DA'd. So the elders decided to go after him and DF him, even though he wasn't attending meetings or anything.

Anyhow, we got back together in 2001 and renewed a friendship that had been severed by the WT Society and the local elders about 21 years previously. We frequently get together now.

He has posted as JIMMER on this board.
