  I contacted my Elder father and mom...

  after 8 mos of shunning acknowledged by familia and friends, i contacted my elder dad - mike, and he put my mommy on the phone for support - she was never the touchy feely type - more the depressed secluded type.

  i wanted to know if my dad had any reason why i shouldn't send my official da letter to 2 congregations and parishioners (since my first request was denied).

  he told me they then could have no contact with me, instead of limited contact.... i told them my jw family has had no contact with me since october and i did not even receive an invite to my baby sister's wedding in december- who i raised and cared for for 3 1/2 years while my mother was in a depression and had health problems.

  or other stupid rules for women?

  ours were contingent on the spirituality of the sister and, if she was married or an elder's wife, etc.

  then, she got more leeway.

  Do you have a JW FS over zealous experience?

  i remember feeling like a must appear rude and crazy to show up at people's doors on christmas morning or new year's day.

  things like these always made me wonder about the sanity of my parents, for one, and the organization.

  why don't jws every get a day off?

  When you left the JWs did you keep their publications?

  by White Waves in

  2. friends

  i threw everything away except the bible (which i now know is crap), the songbook and reasoning from the scriptures ( to use against them... primarily the conversation stopper part).

  so many posters seem be able to access jw info easily and quote it... i wonder if i should have kept everything.

  at the time, it was a way to start over and commit to never going back.
