  God doesn't want you there

  by lisavegas420 in

  i asked my husband..."why do the people in the church you grow up in never try to get you to come back?".

  he said "because they believe that if you aren't at church it's because god doesn't want you there.

  those that are there, were meant to be there.

  I agree. No one from my old congregation has made an effort to contact me (besides my ex-Inlaws.) But I think that was really an excuse to reconcile why their daughter left the Troof. Other than that, the last Witnessing I received was a drive by. Two sister pulled over to the side of the road and shoved some magazines in my hand before I realized what was happening. I thought they wanted directions. Boy was I wrong.
  
  Inaddion to that, I live literally blocks from where they had DCs for 4 weekends running. No visits then either.

  Allow me to introduce myself...

  i am a new face to this website, although i have poked around in it for some time.

  i was born and raised as a witness starting in brooklyn, new york in 1973. i was disfellowshipped on my 26th birthday, november 20th, 1999. i am not one of those that feels bitter about it.

  i know full well that the jw's have a code of morals and behavior that quite honestsly, i did not live up to.

  Should I admit to JWs that I am disfellowshipped?

  by jwfacts in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i know about 2000 jws in sydney, and have 50 that are tax clients, so barely a week goes by without bumping into someone i know.

  it seems that few of them realise that i am disfellowshipped because they talk freely to me.

  last week i accidently sat next to an elder on the train and we engaged in small talk for over 30 minutes.. should i admit to these people that i am not a jw?.

  hi people.

  i am a df'd person hoping to return to the fold.

  i am not critical of the decision to df me nor of the loving organization i believe to be in the palm of jesus hand.. i would find it most encouraging to hear from others who feel the same and would like to "hold hands" on the way back.. this board is hailed as a supportive respectful place so if you do not fit this description may i ask you to move on and not hinder the participants here in following their god given right to pursue their goal.
