let's say you go back to your hometown for a family funeral.
you're not df'd or da'd, but most haven't heard from you for many years.
you know you'll get the inevitable "so are you going to meetings?
Let's say you go back to your hometown for a family funeral. You're not df'd or da'd, but most haven't heard from you for many years. You know you'll get the inevitable "So are you going to meetings?" or "What congregation do you attend?" at the funeral or afterward.
What would be some low-key, situation-appropriate responses?
looks like we have sold our house and we will be doing the big move and transformation of our lives by the end of this month.
yippee for us!!.
anyhow, in the midst of all this packing i've come across a lot of extra jw books and i was going to save them for a bonfire but i thought i'd offer them up to any of you that may be interested.
Absolutely, plus the asking price of course.

Oops, just saw it said "FREE". Just shipping then.

I'd like to put in dibs for the Proclaimers book.
The mags should make a nice little bonfire, if you can get them to burn
i read more threads than i post too.
i had a thought ?
what if i were still a jw and i came here to jwd and read many post that had hate god or abusive language etc in them would i continue to come back here ?
I hope you keep tellin' it like it is, Mrs. Jones!

Not at all. I'm glad there're places like this where people with our commonality can share opinions and debate and have fun without the constant threat of "stumbling" another. That's freedom. Those of us who've developed a thick skin and our own opinions have a lot to gain here.
But you'd have to admit that most witnesses would gasp and cover their eyes reading some of what's here. They need "softer" ex-jw sites to slowly expose them to other views.

I totally agree. I would not send any doubting JW's here as their first exposure to "the other side". I think this site is better for the more seasoned who've lost most of their judgementalism and are now open to new things.
But those who just have some doctrinal issues or have experienced a lack of love but still believe are likely to be scared right back.
Oh, I saw that episode. I wouldn't go in that woman's house if my life depended on it. I'd much prefer hanging out with the nice "dark-sided" lady.
Sorry I had to post and run last night.
Those were great answers! I'm now sure I'm not a fundie. I was worried for a while.
No, really.
