  It changes nothing- just seemed like a good question to ask.

  Hi- thanks guys for all your posts. I can relate to so much of your fears and feelings. I wasn't a baptised witness but I was a Bible Student 3 times-:)))-- so I remember feeling afraid that the witnesses would come to my house and see the Christmas decorations that my family had put up --- afraid that someone I had known forever and who disliked the JW's intensely would drive past the Kingdom Hall and see my car there.So many fears- I'm so glad I got out in time. Hugs to you all- Sugarbritches

  HI life- thanks for your post and for the advice. I would love to go to a movie or something with my friend- but he hasn't made contact with me since last May. He is afraid to talk to me or associate with me because the elders disfellowshipped him because of his association with me - a non- witness. They warned him a couple of times- he didn't think it was right- so he ignored their warning about associating with me and they disfellowshipped him-- so he is ignoring me like the plague. He used to tell me I was his best friend--- what a fool I am. I believed him.Maybe one day he will wake up- but I'm not going to hold my breath.Again thanks for you post and for your understanding.-- Sugarbritches

  Hi 144001,-- You are so right- he's not my friend at all. I don't understand how he can act like i don't exist when we have known each other for so many years. The elders tell him to jump and he says where. I should be really angry at him- but mostly all i feel is hurt. That may change one day. Maybe one day he will see the light- but i doubt that that will happen. He is totally controlled by the elders and the society. Thanks for your post-

  Okay thanks guys. I guess I am a little too sensitive tonight. I didn't make my position really clear in my post this is true. Thanks Gumby and everyone- I will continue to post. My heart gets in the way sometimes-- I'm trying to heal and to be a stronger person. But it's a long slow painful journey. Again, thanks--

  HI Gumby--- the reason is simple. I am not aJW- my friend is- the one that won't talk to me because the elders consider me bad association. I was just curious what the procedure was for reinstatement. From here on, I will only be lurking- this forum is very theraputic for me.But each time I post someone acts just like the elders at the local KIngdom Hall where I used to have a Bible Study. So i will be reading and learning and growing but not posting. I"m trying to heal- posts like yours only reopens the wounds.God Bless- Sugarbritches
