I found out because the elder called my mother to tell her to tell me. I agree with everyone else though. It's the best decision that could've been made. I'm FREE!!!

Seeker4 - Just Found Out I'm Disfellowshipped!!
by Seeker4 inhave been hearing for a few weeks that i was disfellowshipped a while ago - like 2 or 3 months ago - but no one told me!
no call telling me about an announcement, no one informing me of a decision and my right to appeal!.
but, i have it on pretty good sources now that there was a "seeker4 is no longer one of jehovah's witnesses" announcement.. well, it's finally over.

JWs & Trying to Ruin Others' Holidays (long vent)
by rebel8 inwell here i go with my annual holiday stress thanks to my jw relatives............if you are wondering why i'm on this forum after not being a jw myself for so long, there's your explanation.. i realize they have their beliefs against the holidays but it is soooooooo inappropriate to subvert others' participation in holiday celebrations, isn't it?
(rhetorical question there) i mean, if i did it to them they'd claim i was persecuting them!
i have decided i am going to tell them to stop persecuting me!

You and I must be in the same boat. I've come to the same conclusion!

I need help with a discussion with my parents!
by jwfacts inmy parents are on the circuit, well educated, well intentioned and totally committed to the wts.
for years i have argued with them over issues and doctrine.
they know most things that are wrong with the wts but refuse to budge on the idea that it is the only true religion.

Thanks for welcoming me. Sometimes it just helps to see that you are not the only out here going through this all by yourself.

I agree with the person who said not to waste your time having the conversation. I tried to have a conversation with my mom this past Sunday and it ended up with me being upset and hanging the phone up. I have been having this "conversation" for the past 8 years (to no avail). I thought, AGAIN, that if I tried to reason from another perspective, maybe this time it would work. I have just had to realize that once a person is brainwashed, there is nothing that can change that except God. Having this conversation is only going to leave you more frustrated. Like you said, you know all the comebacks that they will use and the same ones that my mother DID use on Sunday -- "the light will get brighter", "in time, Jehovah will clean house," "we are not in the organization for people", and all the other sayings that they use. Like I tried to explain to her, life is not black and white like the Witnesses try to make it seem. In life, there are a lot of "gray" areas and they need to realize that. Of course, it went unheard. I am just more determined now to live my life and find my "own" way for me and my family instead of waiting for the "light to get brighter" in the organization and in my mothers eyes. It hurts to know that a family can become so divided on something like this but it happens. I'm a living witness to that (no pun intended).
