and in a kinda funny way........this friend of mine.......who is very close friend of my df'd son and is much younger than me.....he has been dfd for ten years and shunned by his family and really reall misses them......and has been in a longterm gay relationship and i always felt bad for him because there is almost no way to come back in...then fade...if you are in a gay relationship.......so anyway he has heard me trashtalk wt a ton...and seemed to have zero problem with that and griped about his wt issues...... so i call him the other day and immediately respond with some comment about the damm cult.......we he says," wow oompa you prob don't know but i am going to all the meetings again!!
so i am just snap....."wow, that is amazing...i had no idea....are you just going back for family...and then try to fade?
" which is what i just knew had to be the case....and i even mentioned how that would be hard to do with his partner all it would be discovered.......get this....."oompa, i am doing this for me and not my family......they don't even know i am going so don't say anything"........so i am in shock and the more we talk the happier he sounds about da troof....and i mean he is like filled with the holy ghost......so i mentioned how many things we have talked about that they teach that we both dissagree about.......and he says he know they prob have some things wrong but all religions do.

i have to enter a room full of em!.
my kids have gone with my mother to a congregation party.
apparently there will be line dancing, barn dancing, scottish dancing, you know the normal way they party hard..... anyway they wanted to go, for the food i think, so i wasn't going to stop them.. but i have to enter that room tonight to collect them.. pray for me.... paul.
There was some spicy Indian type snacks in the doggy bag free, and a couple of slices of gateau. Think it was meant for the kids but i ate them, told them i felt as if i missed out so they felt sorry for me lol Oh well, my daughter is very picky with her food anyway as you well know lol

Well i survived.
As i pulled on the car park of the village hall i could see that the scottish dancing was about to start. Damn, i thought, the high point of the night.
Anyway i walked into the foyer and first of all i saw sister depressive, we'll call her. She was sitting in the foyer as she doesn't like crowds. "hello, how lovely to see you" she says. I exchange pleasentries, then try to get my kids attention without actually going into the hall. Luckily, or should i say fortunately, my son saw me. While waiting for them, who should spot me but elder sister groper, you kow the type, depressive wife, you just know he aint getting it at home, so he hugs all the sisters.
Anyway elder sister groper makes a bee line for me, shakes my hand, 'how are you?' he says, 'lovely to see you', yeah right, then why do you walk past me in the street i thought. He stands there without much to say. Then looking at me is sister reinstated, she doesn't come over to my shock. How many times did i speak to you when i saw you, before your reinstatement i thought. Didn't really expect her to speak though.
Then who should come into the foyer to talk to sister depressive but sister always happy, she ignored me for a bit, then says "hello digderidoo, didn't see you standing there", yeah right i've been 2 feet from you for at least 3 minutes.
Anyway i gathered my kids, survived the ordeal and even came out with a doggy bag! Can't be all bad. Phew!!

i was planning on going to a meeting or two with my wife.......maybe one or two a month.....but if i do...... i still really do not want to ever go to another memorial......they have weirded me out for years and most of jw friends know that........but you know once you skip a memorial it is like you are marked for death already....i mean word gets around fast "omg...i just heard oompa did not go to the memorial!
so how is this gonna fly if i go to a couple of meetings a month, but skip the memorial?
and if was gonna try to appease my wife by going to some meetings.......should i just bite the bullet and go to the memorial........and then maybe only do the memorial?......i always thought that was sooo funny that we had a bunch of once a year jw's.........they loved coming and rejecting jesus every year..........oompa.
I hope you're not going to go in that hawain shirt?? lol

Have you considered having your mother bring them out to the car when you arrive to pick up your kids?
No, i'm pretty sure she wants me to go in.
It aint a massive issue to be honest, they do not have the hold over me that they used to have. The thread is more in jest, but i aint looking forward to it lol

If you're going to the meetings to please your wife, wouldn't she be upset if you didn't go to the memorial??
