just a warning to all you jw's.

i was jw for 50 years and am now an apostate.

i left the orgaization becasue of all the contradictions.

BlackSwan of Memphis

Welcome to the board.

Ya know, I just got finished in a discussion with JW's about the UN thing and am blown away by how many basically wash over the whole thing with nary a thought for all that it means.

I am so thankful to hear your story.

You get a three thumbs up from today for making my morning.

i'd like you all to tell me 2 or 3 things:.

1- were you raised a witness or not?.

2-if you were, was your family very "theocratic" or not so much?.

BlackSwan of Memphis

1- yes

2- sort of, sort of not....lonnnng story, I will say moreso as I got older since my sister's husband is an elder and her son and son in law are elders

3- I have no freaking idea right now, and ya know, quite frankly, I don't give a damn

What just happened?

by DanTheMan in

i really hesitated to post this because it's pretty personal but i'm so confused by a recent situation that i just wanna talk about it and get some feedback as to where i might have gone wrong, if anywhere.

my mom and stepdad were dining at a local restaurant two or three months ago, and the server who waited on them happened to be a girl that i went to school with from kindergarten all the way thru high school.

also, my mom had been friends with her mom.

BlackSwan of Memphis

I don't think you should feel stupid, that kind of misunderstanding happens all the time.

I hope that things continue to go well with you two....

My son won't be spending Christmas with us...

my son has been studying with the "gurus" at the kingdom hall for the last few years.

for those of you who were non-jws most of your life (and used to celebrate christmas), then joined the wts cult........didn't you miss spending christmas with your family??.

lavendar .

BlackSwan of Memphis

Lavendar, hey there, I DID get your pm awhile back and I am sorry I havent' gotten back to you. No good excuse, so I'm just really sorry.

I DO think I know you, but you know....there are so many stories that are like yours it is possible we don't know each other.

Do you know if your son is baptized yet?

I am soooooooooooooo sorry that he will not be with you. I hate the way this religion has screwed up so many families and broken them up.

Here's the thing, you haven't talked to her in ages. Doesnt' sound like you did anything.
So my best guess is there could be way more going on in her life. A boyfriend that's jealous, her own self doubt, anything.
If you still have her email, send her an email.

Tell her that you were happy that you had the chance to say hi, you noticed the facebook thing and hope that if there were anything you did to piss her off, that she would talk to you.
Wish her well and try not to think about it.
