I am new here. I had no idea there were so many ex JW's. I have been out since 1998. Officially booted in Feb. 2001. I am not sure on what grounds though because I never went to my meeting. All I heard is that accusations had been made. I was so long gone I did not care if I was disfellowshipped.
My sister called and asked me if she and her elder husband could stay with me while she was in my city. I asked her if she was still a JW and she said yes and as strong as ever. When I was in back in 1998 you were not allowed to associate with DF'd ones. I live in a very touristy city. My brother thinks they are trying to save money on accodomations but he has been out longer than me. Has anything changed in the last few years?
