of his congregation (or whatever it is that they are called now).
today at work, he surprised me with is presence and asked if i have been going to any church services or attending a church regularly because if i had then i would be considered apostate.
Minu.....2012 only expected arrival is the solar max.
Oh Okay, well in any event, 2012 or 2014 I'm still not gonna regret anything......

BabyGirl75, I'm so sorry to hear this. That sucks. Of course, your dad probably thinks it was a blessing that he got to room with someone where you live so he could try to "save" you.

Thanks all for your comments. I realize that this is just more of their same ole song and dance. In fact, I thought this when the words came out of his mouth. I'm not worried about the world coming to an end in 2012. Even if it does, at least I won't feel regret for not doing things I've always wanted to do. Since I've been df'd I've done more things in those few years than my whole of being a JW.
I'll never go back to the JWs but I guess with grandpa coming into my work by himself without Grandma which is a huge thing for him, and asking me that then to just look so old and broken. It just made me wonder what the folks in NY are actually telling these poor people. I really do feel sorry for my family that is still in. They are all so unhappy. It makes me sad to see them sad, while I am happy and living my life like a normal person without all the pressure of the org.
Thanks for listening to me.

I have forgotten how to put something in quotes. Sorry about that.

"Our PO, who went last year, seems to be a bit more depressed since he came back. Of course, his personal life is a shambles, so I don't know how much of that accounts for it."
Yeah, my g'pa looked a lot older since the last time I saw him and his eyes were very sad, not so obstinate and high and mighty anymore.

Hiya Finally, I remember you from when I was a more active lurker on this site. Good point about "last days". I'll have to remember that if I get confronted again.

thanks leavingwt. I figured as much but just thought I'd double check. It's so strange that he came to visit by himself without g'ma.

Thanks baby girl, I appreciate that.
I say behind the scenes because that's what I consider him to be . . . one of the ones behind the scenes. . . with all the inside scoop of what's really going on with the JWs. You know, he knows all the stuff that Joe Blow publisher doesn't know.

I have been df'd now for almost 4 years. My g'pa is p.o. of his congregation (or whatever it is that they are called now). Today at work, he surprised me with is presence and asked if I have been going to any church services or attending a church regularly because if I had then I would be considered apostate. He urged me to "pray incessantly" and to get back to Jehovah ASAP because he just finished attending school in Patterson where they were told that we are living in the last days of the last days. He also made it a point to say that "this is all he can say on the subject".
I just nodded and said okay. Finally he left. Today is the first day in a very long time that I have visited this site. I am just curious if anyone know what is going on behind the scenes and why he would make it a point to come here and tell me this.
I do remember when I was an active JW we were always told that there would be one day when we would not be able to warn the "worldly" people anymore. Do you think they are going to start this?
I'm just curious and honestly I wish I had the guts to tell him to stop stopping by unannounced at my work with a sad face and looking at me like I am on death row.
Thanks in advance for any input on this.
