  on another thread somebody wrote:.

  i was df'd about a month ago and when it happened, i cried.

  i'm not sure why, i certainly don't believe one crumb of what they teach anymore, and i had been inactive for two years.. .

  Whether you are df'd or not most JW will have nothing to do with you if you leave the organization. It's the price you pay for freedom of thought and being true to yourself.

  The Watchtower says that they have no membership so I've always felt how can they kick you out of an organization that you never really joined. If they say but you were baptized I would reply that the baptism was obtained under false pretences. They misrepesented themselves as a truthful organization that God select. They aren't truthful and it is easy to prove that God never selected them. They lied on the contract so I don't see why anyone would consider it valid.

  Just how I feel I'm sure not everyone would agree.

  One more thing as far as dfing goes I df'd the Watchtower. Not the other way around. And I highly recommend it.

  it's nearly 2 months now but mrs punk finally left myself (mentally diseased apostate tm) with my 2 non kingdum hell attending boys.. she left when my jw daughter moved out and they moved in together.

  i don't think it'll be long before my daughter gets sick of her mum but there you go!!.

  i received a call from mrs punk to say: 'i didn't leave you because of the religion!'.

  Sorry to hear what you are going through right now Punk. The Watchtower sure can do a lot of damage to families if someone in it doesn't play their game.

I told her how when she broke up with her husband and stopped going to meeting I asked my wife for her phone number and how my wife wouldn't give it to me. I'm sure it was because she felt I would corrupt her with my unjehovahish ideas. I mention this to 2nd cus last night and she informed me that when she left she tried to get my phone number from her JW family and none of them would give it to her. Because she is in Utah and I'm in California there wasn't much chance of bumping into each other.

  Thank you facebook!

  this has been a lousy weekend!

  in july 2009 my 20 year old nephew, ryan, died of complications from heroin and his best friend jeff neville spoke at the funeral.

  he gave a very emotional talk and said that he was going to work at getting off the stuff himself.

  No.. infact I'm thinking of signing up again for a second stint. Jehovahland here I come.

  Now that that moment of insanity has past I would have to say that I regret it in some ways but in other ways maybe not. Sometimes it is hard to tell if something that happened to you in your life was good or bad. For instance if I was never a Jdub I wouldn't have met my wife. I wouldn't have come to know you and the other people on this board. I have friends in my life who went to the same hall I did who are no longer JWs who I would never have come to know if I never had the Jdub expirience. I also think it had made less judgemental of other people and their beliefs and less like to believe I am right and have the answers.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67a0imd6dng.
