Elder visit after being DF'd

has anyone ever been re-visited by the elders after being df'd or da'd for some time?

i was once in arizona about 5 years ago, fortunately i was not home, my roomate was, they asked if i was home and she said 'no', they said they were from the local congregation of jehovah's witnesses and would like to invite me back, they also asked her if she was aware that i was once associated with the witnesses and she said, 'yes, i'm very aware'....they then asked when would be a good time to get me home, she was very vague and said "i don't know really, she's training for a marathon and is very busy with school, i never really know when she's home"....they never came back, i think they got the hint, or were just too lazy to try again.

i'm sure my mother had something to do with it....her last hope i guess.

Biking for a reason...
by Evesapple in
1. social
2. physical
on june 6th i will be in tahoe doing my first century ride.

i took up biking after my baby was born, because it became difficult to keep up my running, my gait was a little off and i kept suffering injury after injury.

i felt the best way to really put my all into a new sport was to join a team.

.

this morning my daughter was practicing the song for her 8th grade graduation.......i sung it at a few cubs games but don't really know the words....i'm sure it was due to my jw non-participation in singing such pagan songs...... does anyone else know this song all the way through???

JW Mental Health

2. experiences
i found these two references very interesting.....i reflected on the mentality of the witnesses in my old congregations in janesville, wisconsin....i realised they weren't a 'happy' people because they had the "truth", they were in truth happy because of being all medicated (prozac).

i'm going to visit some friends of mine in arizona for a week.

they are friends i had made on my own way after jw's, great, supportive, loving friends....i'm proud of them in that they truely have become my family and have re-defined the true meaning of friendship.
