we were told to say.. representatives of the watchtower bible and track society.. they would think it was something way different and that way we were not technically telling a lie, just stretching the truth.

Why don't Witnesses indentify themselves at the door when in service?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy 17 year old daughter told me 2 men were at the door saturday looking for adults that lived in the house.my wife and i were out of town for 2 days.they had suits on and carrying book bags.
they asked if she was over 18. she replied that she wasn't.
they left without indentifiying themselves.

She hasn't invited me since the first year I left and i have been out for 4. She is pushy with everything else, maybe she just doesn't really think it is important for me to go to it.. I mean all you do is look at a glass of wine and some bread, I can do that at home, and I then I can drink the bottle.. much better.

Should DF'd people talk to other DF'd people??? YOU be the judge...
by slmdf inok all... i was in a store looking for bedroom furniture and in walks this former elder with his new woman - they too are shopping for bedroom furniture.
he got df'd like 5 years ago so he has no idea i'm df'd.
recently, i've been thinking about how, when i got df'd, i would sit in the parking lot of the kh waiting for the meeting to start, and so would other df'd people.

I think I remember reading something somewhere that said that df people are not supposed to talk to each other, they are after all, each and everyone bad associates and could harm your already harmed spiritual well being, the borg thinks that it is better for you to be completely alone for a year or more. because then you will never think about screwing up again.. hahahaha (evil laugh)

Free at Last, or am I
by Princess Daisy Boo ini have just spent the last 3 or 4 hours reading everyone's posts and i am so thrilled and relieved that sites like this exist which allow us ex jw's to express ourselves.
i feel compelled to share my story, even though it is probably quite unremarkable.
i have this feeling that finally being able to express my thoughts albeit on the web, will finally allow me some freedom!.

welcome! I am new here also.. I have been out for about 4 years, but the first 3 I just did not think about it at all, I wanted to have sex and talk to my df sister so I left, but I never thought about questioning the rest of it.. until I found JWD.. it is a great place, I am part way through CoC and Combating Cult mind control, both of which I am really enjoying.

I Think I want to go to Heaven when I die..
by hilannj ini have never really thought about it.. but i think i do want to go to heaven.. i want to have a personal relationship with jesus, feel comfortable praying to him and to god.
and even if it is a lie, i want to hope for it and believe it, and someday teach my children the same..
is that wrong?

(quoted stuff from the box) but I told they guy that he was crazy, and asked my brother what he thought, and he cannot change that he said it was crazy now.. hahaha (it really will not make a difference but one can hope.)

Shunning of ex JW family members imposed or optional?
by greendawn insome supportes of the jws argue that the wts does not impose on its followers to shun and disgrace ex jw family members, it leaves them the option to decide on the issue and some shun and others do not.
is that an honest arguments or is it like the blood issue where the wts supposedly doesn't impose on its members the decision to refuse blood?
for all we know the non shunning of ex jw family members except for absolutely necessary contact could lead a jw to dfing.

according to their lit, they must do it.. unless that family member happens to live with them.. then they can talk to them, otherwise it is only in case of emergency.. but I its force to different amounts at different congs.
