I received an E-mail from an old friend....how do I respond?
by schne_belly into my dear xxxxx hello there-how are things going with you?
i've been thinking of you a lot, i've wanted to write you this for quite some time.
i guess we both know that things aren't the way they used to be-between you and i; between you and jehovah's organization-and i just want you to know how much i miss you.

No, I never have. I even get Woozy when they have to take a small vile for medical tests..... I need to lay down while they do it and close my eyes? I was told it could be psychological?

She stated in her E-mail she missed seeing me at meetings when she comes to town to visit.
In my reply I said that next time she is in town, I would love to see her. She should stop over,or call me up and we can hang out. Hopefully she'll catch on, that being in a KH isn't the ONLY time we can see eachother.....

Shania,
I'm still waiting on my "good" friend 4 years later,,,,,,,,,,,,don't need friends like that in your life...........
Unfortunatly I see this happening.... Why woulnd't i?. Basically all my current JW friends have shuned me ( I'm not Df'd or Da'd just a fader). I guess that is why I feel a bit more tollerent of this particular friend and her attmepts to "help". I have to give her credit that she's coming to me and not just listening to the gossip mill.... but I'm sure once she figures out I won't come back, or give her straight forward answers...it'll be "adios" to me! Ohhh well. It's true, none of us need "friends" like that in life. It's just the matter of TRUELY believing that yourself and letting go....that's the tough part.

144001 Take her out for coffee and fart in the car on the way. Don't let her roll the windows down, tell her there are demons outside that might come in. The fartgas might produce a lucid interval for her! OMG!!! That's funny!...... that would be a good way to get her off my back!

If I could go back to do it over, I'd just respond with a very simple response. "XXXXX, thank you so much for your email. So good to hear from you! I miss you too! Didn't we have some great times? I know you remember how much I love Jehovah. I still do, so please take comfort in that. Please continue to pray as I strengthen my relationship with Jehovah. Right now it's just Jehovah and I and I think I need that privacy right now in order to grow. Thank you for respecting that."
Billy Goat...that's good After all, I don't really need to explaine things to her, or anyone else for that matter. It's still the old JW thinking in me ( yes, I'm working on it ) that My initial reaction is I have to justify my thinking and why I do things in life. If she truely cherishes me as a firend, thanking her and reiterating that I do still love and serve God should be enough.... we'll see what happens.
I really apprecaite hearing all the insightful ideas everyone has shared....

Ohhhh Dear, Wise, Blonde....
I wish you'd put your trust once again into the organization
Aren't Christians supposed to be putting their trust in God and Jesus? Didn't the Jews make the mistake of trusting in an earthly group of humans?
Just say you are making sure of the more important things by using the Bible. If what the WTS is teaching is from the Bible, there is nothing to fear. EXACTLY!!!!
I think I will just reply with a few quetions for HER. Short and sweet!
Thanks to all of you!

I'd say be very careful responding. I've received letters like this and I haven't answered them at all. I didn't because when I read over their letters, it was purely emotional and about them. There wasn't ONE question about how I was doing. I realized that if they were true friends, they'd be concerned about my well-being. They would go straight for the guilt trip.
Billy Goat: in the past with others who have written me, I too, have just ignored thier letters. However I feel that this certian individual is genuine ( mabye wishful thinking on my part). You are right, it is mainly about THEM.
It's hard to know how much you can really say and how truthful you can be. I don't know who to trust anymore ( I guess really no JW) .... but for some reason I feel I need to set things straight.....

Of course would that be giving her too much credit?
