i have posted a couple of times, so i guess i should introduce myself.
i don't want to give out too many details as i am baptized and have not decided what i want to do.
i've been fading for awhile--no one in my cong.
Hey nice to meet you!!!!
Feel free to post we don't bite (anymore) and those that do have all their shots.

i learned the truth about the truth after i was df.
now, i want to get reinstated for family reasons.
i still want to walk the tightrope to the point of going in service,but cannot promote the teachings of wts as i did for 40 yrs.
It is so hard to learn the truth about the "truth" when you do you feel lost and confused especially if you really believed it. I learned the truth in May and yet I still went to my convention that August, to my SAD and to the memorial. In addition to that I also went out in service several times and commented at the meetings. But nothing felt right anymore, it was like I was out of my body, I saw what was going on I talked to people but it just seemed like I was floating, like I wasn't really there.
I tried my best to get to the meetings because I had freinds I didn't want to loose, and pepople I didn't want to hurt but it did not last. After a while I could not go out and preach anymore, I just could not do it.It came to the point where I really felt sick just thinking about the prospect of going out in service. The same goes for the meetings, I haven't given a talk sience before Aug. of last year. I had a talk scheduled for the week after the convention and I told a brother I would not be giving the talk.
Soon I stopped going to the meetings, showing up maybe once every two, three months but not really participating just sitting and writting on a notebook. One of the last times I went to a meeting I really felt ill. Went back only once after that.
There are so many people that I miss, I really do but I can't bring myself to go out and teach something I don't believe in,it would not be honest and I think the householder would be able to see that my heart just was not into it. For example before learning the truth I could go out in streetwork and talk to people and place at least 20 mags, one of the last timesI went out in street work I only placed four mags. What had changed? The people were the same but I was not and I could not make some one believe something that I did not believe in anymore.
What did this cost me? All of my friends and the relationships that I had worked on for so long. I miss them everyday but I can't go backand pretend I don't know that the is something wrong with the society.
I lost friends and that was so hard I can't imagine what it would be like if it was my family. Do what you have to do to keep your loved ones close, maybe you could just talk to the householder using your Bible and nothing else? Concentrate on good "happy" scriptures and don't place any of the societys publications. Would that be an okay compromise?
Hope the best for you.

okay i have a problem and it is called jacob my cat.
we found him a few months ago ( he was a stray and my mom brought him home) and the first day he was fine but over the last two months his behavior has gotten really bad.
he has developed the habit of biting (hard) and he also scrathes you for no reason.
My mom took him to a shelter this morning, she called me at work to let me know.

Thank you for all your responses. Years ago I got a cat that was feral and he got along well with our other cats but did not trust many people. He was older than this cat when I got him but he never had the kind of behavior this cat shows.
This morning i was petting him and now I'm looking at my left hand which he scratched. I can't walk around my house in shorts or with out shoes because he attacks me right away and I must admit this but I'm afraid of the little sucker. For a small little thing he can really bite.

A kitty BBQ, well I guess thats an option...Tastes just like chicken, right?
Seriously though, I don't want to take him to the animal shelter but I also don't want to deal with his behavior anymore.
