hey everyone i completely forgot i started this thread! !
sirona just reminded me i almost started another on the same lines because i really want to know the answer!

hi, i'll sum up: recently disfellowshipped, and am marrying my love, who is not a witness.
i'm jumping through the hoops to get reinstated (to get my family back, and then do the slow fade) but am going to review that choice as time goes by as i choose him as my new life, not them.
however right now i think that life will be better, long term, if i can pick up the phone and talk to my family, every now and then.
im making the effort too but they think i have give him up, and i am far from doing that!
i think you have the right idea if i could, i would marry him then get reinstated, then leave but at least i could throw myself in my familys face and demand them to say hello without feeling like i have destroyed their conscience!
thats my plan anyway at the mo im just decieving my family and feel like crap,coz they think i am well on my way to getting reinstated.
i bet it must be a relief so well done to you, you must be sure of someone tho to go thru all that, thats what scares me (a little!)
glad you asked the questions youd did id like to see the answers!
hugs cordy x

its wierd when i was married to a jw i used to actually enjoy the feeling of believing the same things and going everywhere together, i often wonder how it would be if i married an 'unbeliever' would i miss that feeling? i dont think so now i dont believe it but i cant be sure, so good thread!
one question tho sass, how are u attending the meetings and trying to get reinstated if you are still with the boy? are you living with him? just asking coz i have hid my boyfriend from everyone so that i look repentant and can go to the meetings and my family have a little hope!
i am wrong tho and you are right coz i will prob hurt them more in the long run or i will give everything up for them and be unhappy myself! so how are you working it?
after all of this time developing, talking, working, etc.
i am looking at myself from outside of myself and seeing a person at square one.. the thing is, i feel quite good about realising that i'm here, at this point.
today is the first day of the rest of my life.
thats great sirona, i think having the right mind about things feeling positive really helps,
well done, dont look back look forward things will get better
love you x
the elders and the organization always put us on alert to make sure we never "stumbled" anyone.
of course, someone was always be counseled for this offense.
i moved into a country bumpkin hall from a big city and seemed to be come mrs stumbler! my skirts were too short even got counseled for an 'immodest dress' (which my cos wife mum had bought me!) actualy i wasnt told this an elder just told my dad at an elders meeting, (and i was married in another hall!)
i also LOOKED across at someones husband one too many times! when the elders came for that one they didnt even tell me who had made the accusation, i spent about six months wearing polar necked baggy dresses and shielding my eyes away from anyone remotely male!
also my car was not clean enough to keep helping a certain sister on 'pioneers assist others'
looking back i dont know why i kept on so long!
im a liverpool fan and am currently beside myself with exitement.
this is by far the biggest game we have played in 20 years and im getting so jittery i fear i may pass out.
great game. i remember bruce grobelaar doing that too it was great to see again. cant believe how many people on this thread are from the uk i was beginning to think everyone lived in america im well happy now are you going that barbeque in july?
all jokes and any humor here for our brooke who needs cheering up today .
come on you all cut lose and lets get her laughing .
let me add,,,, and to all that need a little pick-up today.
ok here goes :
st peter was having a bad day on the pearly gates and asked jesus to take over for a while, as jesus stood there he saw an old man approaching the gates 'What have you done to get into heaven' asked jesus, the man said 'nothing really im just a lonely old carpenter, the only remarkable thing in my life was my son, he took the world by storm children loved him, books were writen about him he changed the life of many people'
jesus started crying and looked at the old carpenter and said 'father? father?' the man stepped back and replied 'pinnochio?'
to be covered during service meetings week of 5/23/05.. q&a.
1. christians ardently desire the coming of jehovah's day, through which he will destroy the present system of things and usher in a new world of righteousness.
(2 peter 3:12,13, ftn.
was thinking tho if we are living in the FINAL king and the FINAL political situation, then they really cant go on with there lies much longer can they?? hey what am i thinking, theyve done it before 1914 etc, also supose there will be another 'generation' of dubs not hearing these lies! oh well back to the drawing board!

in my opinion (for the sake of sixofnine and his propensity toward apoplexy):.
it seems to me that while there are many issues that we could address regarding the watchtower bible and tract society/governing body/congregation of jehovah's witnesses, there is one that stands out as uniquely given to ease of communication.
i would like to take this opportunity to state which issue and why, then invite open commentary.. the issue of the watchtower bible and tract society attaching itself to the un/dpi.. while i readily agree that this is minor in importance compared to matters like child molestation and failed prophecy, i see this as the easiest to bring up, the easiest to substantiate, and the easiest to demonstrate long-term gross error in.
that was one of the things my friend first told me about that got me questioing the 'truth!' told my family< very promininent members, who just said there was no way that could possibly be true and so i never looked into it< where can u find it out?
