I think I would probably talk to them as if nothings happened. Why should they make me feel like i've done anything wrong?

if you are da'd or df'd and an elder from your former hall ran into you in public and tried to engage you in conversation, what would you do.
would you talk to them or shun them as the rank and file are required to you.
i would walk away without even acknowledging their existence.

this is not jw related, but there's so many people on this board that give such excellent advice.. i divorced my first husband in 1989. he is the father of my two boys.
i remarried at the end of 1990 and moved away from my home town.
my ex has never ever tried to contact me and my children have not talked to their 'biological' father in almost 15 years.
hello ghost hunter...
My advice get the ball rolling ring up the child support maintenance people (thats what its called in aussie) get them to track him down,they are able to access his income and then are able to work it out from there.
As soon as my hubby and I seperated I was encouraged to do that. I must admit my ex has been great in that respect and has never missed a payment although we are having a little trouble at the moment as he hasnt put his tax in for two years.
I dont know where I would be without that money it allows me to put my son in creche and extra curricular.
Your sons deserve it and so do you.
Hope all goes well

hello all, hope everyone is well,.
as i read many posts there seems to be many that "closet" read and it isnt till many months or even years that they actually post something.
was just wondering how long it took other people to post and did they feel guilty?.

i am a long time lurker who has come out of the closet.
i have read many fine posts here and feel for all of you who have been hurt by the witnesses.
they are a lying, unaccountable organization - with an emphasis on the word unaccountable!

dear all,.
it's a little over a year now (2 years last february) that my family and i left watchtower and i can't begin to tell you how wonderful life has been!.
ok, i'm saddled with a serious illness at present and enough has been said about it, but i'd just like to focus on how much a family can really grow once it has been freed from watchtower's yoke.
totally agree with you Ian and Claire. It's nice to actually have a "life" now. I left when my son was about 1 year old, and never looked back, my son has been able to celebrate all his brithdays, christmas and so on......even tho it makes me a little jealous that I never got to experience this when I was a child im living through my son.
