  How do I go out with new ex-dub friends with my wife still in? Tell or lie

  by oompa in

  with my 22 year old df'd son in a very nearby city, and having met a few here that i want to do stuff with, how do i go about this?

  thanks to my son, who has some older df'd friends, i was able to spend a couple of weeks at the beach together with them the last two summers.

  it was me and five evil df'd ones on my boat, so i called a dub friend who was friends with the beach gang, and told him i was on the ussdf!

  Do you have to tell her they are DF'd? I believe in being honest with my husband, and he with me. We have no secrets, no matter how painful something is, we talk about it. That is now, but it wasn't always like that, and it wasn't easy to get where we are now, but it can be done. (We had to undo all the years of JW thinking and undo how our parents f8cked us up!)

  When I left the JW's he was still in, if only mentally. I made non JW friends, went out with them, met up with DF'd people (mouthy being one of them, the most well known apostate in the tri cities area! lol). I even went and tried out several churches, and he always knew where I was going and who I was with. I didn't ask permission, and neither does he when he goes out.

  Honesty, while not always easy, is really the best. Hiding things from a spouse is just asking for problems.

  Starting over is tough. You are going to be going through a whole range of emotions for a while. Come back when you can. Good luck.

  Your question made me think, what if it were I dieing, what would make me feel good. I guess it would be those I love acknowledging what I had contributed to humanity, how I made a positive influence on them. I want to go with the feeling I've made the lives of others better and the world a better place...

  Carmel, that is a very good point. While I don't really know my uncle, I have learned things about him from people here on JWD that knew him and were in his cong. Some of it was negative, but I did see another side to him from someone else when he told me of some things he did that weren't really well known to others in the hall. Another thing, he did ask his daughter that she call and let me know, he wanted contact with me before he died and that also touched me more than I thought it would.

  I sometimes wish I was still In.

  i have read things on here that have made me think.

  i know it's the general idea.

  but the realisation of some of the issues and their legitimacy has made me wish that i was still a witness.

  an insider stands a better chance of getting questions answered than someone who is no longer attending at all

  You could ask the questions, but what kind of an answer are you going to get? A quote from the WT? A "wait on Jehovah" answer?

  You can be 100% sincere, but when you ask the questions they can't answer, you are DF'd. Just ask Mouthy. She was a firm believer, but when she couldn't understand how they came to the conclusion that Jesus came in 1914 and was sincere in her questions to the elders to help her understand it, she was DF'd. This is just one example, there are many here I'm sure.

  1) An apostate in the gb. 2) That service is not for everyone

  Did I miss somthing? When were these two subjects talked about. I don't want to miss any good rumors. Would someone give me the reference to these?

  Yeah I wondered that too. When was it ever said there was an apostate in the GB? BB

  Yep. It's like moving to a new area and it's only after a certain number of years (usually many many years! lol) are you accepted as a "local/native". That's kind of what it's like here for me, even though I've been here for over three years, don't really feel like a "local/native" yet.
