Amazing how they think they have the right to do this after you have been away for five years. And did not inform you for legal reasons, whatever they may have been. I hope your family does not shun you, particularly if you have been close with them. But being out is the best thing you could have ever done for your family. Best wishes to you.

i was not informed (for 'legal reasons'), but they phoned my dad and told him.
i understand it is due to my apostate book.

My husband will take literature just he can throw it away and it will not go to someone else. Good idea. -

Thanks, Doc, for responding. No ex-spouses out there. My husband is a born and raised Catholic. I have kept a low profile and not stirred any shit because I still have family in and though we don't see each other much, I like to maintain good relations with them. Must just be the emphasis on reactivating inactive ones. News for them, I am waaaay beyond inactive. Life is good!!!

I have not been on this forum for a long time - have just been living my life out from under the Watchtower cloud and enjoying it greatly. Some dubs avert their eyes and ignore me in public. Some still speak and are friendly. I am aware that word is out and has been for a while that I do not believe in it any more. A couple of weeks ago at the grocery store I ran into a J-dub I have known since teenage years (I am 62 now) - used to be very good friends. She was friendly, spoke to me briefly - how was I? told me about her gastric bypass - that sort of thing. Then out of the clear blue sky after all these years i get a call on Saturday from two J-dub gentlemen - one I know is an elder - we have known each other since teenage years also - and I suspect the other is an elder also. I was at work and they spoke to my husband, asking for me. They left the W&A with my husband which I tore up and put in the trash. I wonder if the encounter at the grocery store led to this and what the upshot of it will be. Surely not a witch hunt after all this time.

Still no pant suits, for sisters
by Quarterback ini was watching the cnn this evening..watched hilliary clinton walk towards some dignataries in a foreign land.
i saw that she was well dressed in a pant suit.
she is the us secretary of state, and what she wore was dignified.

I read that Hilary Clinton wears pant suits because she has large, unattractive legs. The Watchtower society will never allow women to wear pants. That in itself ought to be enough to make women think negatively about the org. But look at Pentecostal/Assembly of God women. They just eat it up! Can't have short hair, can't have sleeveless tops, have to wear skirts - no pants ever. Where are their brains?

Snakes = Married
by SnakesInTheTower init has been over a month and a half since i have even been on the board, and that really only to ask about gps units (got a tom-tom) and mention the new job.
way too busy with life - post jw now 4 years.. of course, the new job has benefits, health insurance, etc.
(including unlimited use of the company car for personal use and the company pays for the unlimited gas for about a $25/week out of my check -- huge benefit) and this has enabled toni and i to finally after a two year engagement, to get married.

Congratulations Rich and Toni! I saw in the paper where you got your marriage license. And your mom came for the ceremony? Wow! I'm happy for you both.

This guy sounds like he has mental problems and is not very smart - oh, that's pretty much anybody who believes the JW religion.

It would be a great relief to be able to not worry about being found out. I only try to keep from it in order to keep family, though I think they all know I don't believe anymore and they ignore it for the sake of family. Though really, I don't try that much to hide it anymore. And I rarely see J-dubs - many of those I see at the store or wherever ignore me anymore.
"it really feels like a relief cause i dont like looking over my shoulder i live a moral and law abiding life and this is a free country i have the right to do what i want . i want to enjoy myself and be happy. i want to go into work and scream marry christmas ho ho ho. (or run down the street with a rubber glove on my head screaming hi i'm a squid) lmao hee hee just kidding 'bout that one. you know what i'm saying."
Indeed, I do know what you are saying. Good for you.
