my little brother was disfellowshipped at 15, the elders stayed on his case constantly before he was disfellowshipped..i almost think it was a relief when he was disfellowshipped, he is now 20 and my 31 year old elder brother has not spoken to him since, b/c of course he is too good to be related to a disfellowshipped person...he would not even attend my grandparents (we are also witnesses) 60 year anniversary b/c my younger brother was there.

I guess it was my new husband..I had never really been around 'worldly' people other than work, but really didnt associate with them (bad assc spoil useful habits)...then when my husband left,, after a few weeks i woke up one day and realized what a relief it was not dealing with him and how much happier i was on my own...then I met my husband, he showed me nothing but respect and was very patient with me...I began to be around his family and friends and realized this people were better friends and love ones than anyone i knew in the truth...of course my husband does think some of the things that go one are odd...esp being a marine (he is very patriotic) but he also is not judgmental since my family is still in the organization and respects anyone decisions and beliefs.

I am new to this forum,, but boy do i relate to this...born in the truth ...married in the truth..he lied, chased women, obsessed about porn, we had a child together, which i raised myself, got knocked around a few times..( when we went to the elders, it was assumed i must be doing something wrong)..after he finally cheated on me...but begged me to stay, i did and followed his work from GA to NC where i knew no one and had no family..while there i continued to go to meeting, he did not, he finally left our family...i became completely devasted..here i was did everything i was suppose to ...no drugs ever, waited til i got married for sex, was a devoted wife and i was now alone,,i tried to talk to the brothers...they acted like they could care less..i stopped going to meetings...no one called, i havent heard from anyone since...but it was the best thing that ever happened to me...i soon met a wonderful man...(ex marine) we are now married and have 2 very small children....he treats me so wonderful...i stayed in my 1st marriage because i didnt know any better, i just thought that was the way it had to be, now i know better and i am so happy...even though my christian brothers left me...luckily my family who are still in...support and respect my decision.
