  when i got home from work this afternoon my wife was standing near the door looking at me and said you need to sit down i have some hard news to tell you.

  so i sat down and she began saying my brother called and i imminently ask if my mom had died.

  she said no but my mother told my brother a deep family secrect that no one knows about.

  Marked for continuation of the story.

  Stay strong, Miss Fit. The more often you tell this story, the more you will release the poisonous memories. Believe me, I know.

  My First Birthday!!!!!

  my birthday isn't until the end of july but yesterday i got my first birthday gift in the mail.

  my best friend (stubborn disbeliever) sent me my gift early.

  i know what it is, but seeing it all wrapped up and knowing on my birthday i can open it...it really struck a cord with me.

  Next you will see how exciting it is to find the perfect gift for someone else on their birthday. I just love hunting for the perfect gift...the right color and size if it is clothing, or something that someone would never buy for themselves, or something unexpected. It's a real thrill!

  One years has passed since getting the boot. My story, past, present, and beyond.

  so as of today, it is my one year anniversary of being out.

  i simplified it so that most people who know nothing of jws can understand.

  in addition to writing this as self therapy, i plan to use it to educate others in my life who need to know more about where i come from.

  Help me plan a birthday party for a 'sort of' JW

  a relative and friend of mine is turning the monumental "60" in 3 weeks.

  he has "studied" with the jws since childhood, but never became a baptised member.

  something is holding him back .

  You could sing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" instead of the birthday song.

  i was raised as a jw from the age of 7. i was df'd for apostasy in 1971 at the age of 23. it has been 42 years since i have had contact with any jehovah's witnesses, including my family.

  last year i moved to tucson.

  when i read that a district assembly was coming to town, and that it would be at the convention center only minutes from my house, i decided to check it out.

  Thanks for your answer. Yes, you'd be as big an apostate today as you were years ago. Studying Bible history....what nerve, LOL!

  Welcome to JWN! I'm curious about the "apostate" beliefs for which you were disfellowshipped. Would the Watch Tower consider them as such today, 42 years later, or did you believe something back then that has become "new light" in the meantime?
