RichieRich posted something about how odd witness kids parties were and it reminded me of being reinstated. I never quite fit when I got back in. I would sit in the car groups and think...are these people for real? It was like talking to a bunch of cold mindless and boring robots.
A few people and I got to know each other at home and that helped, but except for them, I always got the suspicious looks, the hush hush when I came around. Oddly enough I always found that the so called "sisters" were huge on gossip. They ripped me apart at every chance they could. Not all, but a good portion.
It made it really hard to stay in the congregation and almost programmed me to get into more trouble.
What really makes me mad now, due to the size of the robot group and the party of one I had, I was almost always on the out. took me a bit to figure out I was better off without them. No I cannot hardly relate to any at all. I work with some, and to hear them makes me shudder.
How many of you got such a warm reinstatement welcome?
