Ahhhh! Let the shunning begin...

2. experiences
well, the official announcement hasn't been made yet, and already the shunning has started.. what a surprise.

my wife cuts the 'friends' hair at our house.

last night someone was going to come over but asked if my wife would go to their house instead because it bothered their conscinece coming to our house with me there.. i told my wife that since the announcement wasn't made yet, that this person was being presumptuous for going ahead of the organization and shunning me.

kinda new to the forums, stumbled across this discussion board whilst researching the wt involvement with the un as an ngo, laughed my head off when i found out they got booted cuz everyone gave em a bad rap (serv's em right) http://www.aimoo.com/forum/postview.cfm?id=311102&categoryid=3459&threadid=1131916&highlight_key=y&keyword1=ngo.

anyway, been a "baptized" jw since 13 at the cow palace (now 20).... been a "questioning" jw since a few months after my "baptism".... still hang around the jw's... heck i was brought up as one from a tot and all of my good friends are jw's... even my girlfriend is a jw..... sigh... i've told her my stance... i'm way more liberal when it comes to religion and spirituality than i was taught to be, and bless the creator, she still loves me.

but anyway i'm at a continuing crossroads, as far as staying or leaving.... i shan't be in this state of mind for much longer but i'm just trying to get good reasons to pack the bags.... if anyone has some "meat" for me to sink my teeth into pass it my way.. haha, wow i'm spilling my guts and no one even knows me yet lol.

i am surprised that there hasn't been a discussion here (not that i can find anyway) about jwmatch.com.

not only are they self-proclaimed, "the world's largest witnesses online community!

" (sound familiar?
