As a DUB, what did you do and hid so as not to stumble anyone?
by megsmomma in
1. jw
2. friends
i was thinking of all the "concious matters" that you could do if you wanted, but would not tell anyone so you wouldn't get in "trouble".

one thing that came to my mind is when after having my baby, i wanted to join weight watchers...there were two meeting places to choose from...one close to me and in a church....and one quite far not in a church.

well, i went to the one in the church, always worried someone would see me(but i didn't really think it was a big deal) so, what did you all hide?

Today I was un-shunned.....
by AK - Jeff in
1. jw
2. experiences
not typical of my sil to do more than just a casual greeting and look nervous when i run across her somewhere.

last time i met her in public at a restuarant she tried to weave across the room and hope i did not see her [fear of eating with an apostate i suppose.].

today the opposite - i came in to the restuarant and she was there, seated alone.

How Do You Feel About Life & Yourself Now That You're Out?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
personally, i'm feeling better about things.

i don't cringe when i see a witness now.

i may still try to avoid contact with certain ones but now i feel more than ever before that jws are crackpots and whether they look down on me or not, they are the ones with the issues----not me!

in october of 2000, i faded away from the watchtower.

like most people, i have family and friends who are jw's (including my wife and parents).

fading is generally the best method for people in that situation.
