LDH...
I just put a picture of her taken in the hospital as a profile picture...but boy did it come out wierd! I will post a better one when I figure out how to do it. I have a webpage of pictures, but it has too much info and may lead to my identity if anyone is lurking from my area.

OOOO! I guess I AM paranoid! =)

Disappointment

by TweetieBird in

jw
friends

a couple of months ago i was addicted to this board when the whole un thing was going on.

i really thought that the exposure of the wts's involvement would open the door for me to walk away from the wt without reprucussions, you know, a valid excuse so as to not be shunned.

(a pipe dream, i know) .

It is not abig deal w/ witnesses because they do not know about it...

You are right...the freedom of not having to tiptoe is nice.
Thanks for your advice. Until I actually get a call from an elder (that has never happened since I stopped going to meetings over three years ago) I won't worry about it.

An old friend of the family stopped by my house last night. I had not seen him for about two years. He was disfellowhispped about 3 or 4 years ago, but would drop in every now and ask me business related questions. (I had sold him some investments when I was in that business several years ago).

Anyway, we talked business for awhile, and then he asked me if I was going to the hall, or if I had been disfellowshipped. I told him that I have not been booted out, but that I don't believe they are really the true religion and I was tired of the hypocrsy on the local and wts level. He said he was trying to get reinstated again, and wanted to study with me when he did (neaning the for the watchtower, not as him leading the study). My family has known him for over 15 years and when he was not disfellowshipped (this is time number 3) he was quite close with my family, like another brother.

Anyhoo...I told him that I would not discourage him from doing what he thinks is right, but that I did not share my views with other witnesses because i didn't want to get labelled an apostate. I am afraid he will say something to the elders, thinkinig he will help me.

Oh well....I am hoping to avoid the DF because my mother is active and she practically lives with us (she owns the duplex we live in, and we are over her apartment and vice versa a lot).

Just had to share! Thanks!

Way Back When You Were A Witness.......

by LB in

back in the dark ages did you used to come into message boards like this one, or h20 and try to defend the watchtower society?

i did and things didn't work out so well.

actually they worked out fine, i switched teams.

I never went on an "apostate" board or site until a few months ago. It didn't really occur to me. I don't think I could have handled the guilt if I had tried as an active witness, hahahah!

Car Group Visited Today

by LB in

just when i thought i was almost over being angry my "brothers" got my blood going again.

my wife and i were polite, saying at first it was good to see them after so long and the first thing the elder in the group said was..."well you know where to find us, at the kingdom hall.

" well normally i'm fairly mild mannered, but, that just got under my skin.

It reminds me of when I return back to my home state after being gone for about 6 months. I had gotten married and called my best friend (who is a JW) and we talked a while on the phone to catch up. When I told her I wanted to see her and her family and introduce my husband I got the "Well you know where to find us, on any Sunday morning". This is the family that used to have me over their house at least twice a week.

Would it kill them to let me stop by the house or meet them at a coffee shop?
