hello guys, todya i recieved an email from an old friend of mine within the jdubs... he did the usual jdub thing get married really young and as such we lost touch.. he since found me on facebook and has been bugging me about my decision to leave, i talked to him a little but his mind is completely closed and irrational so i was having little success saving him from the cult and as sich i decided to end the call.. by saying "your happy and i'm happy so lets leave it be and aggree to differ" - however he wont let it rest this is his email: any help in responding would be most appreciated!!

ps... how ironic that he should mention george orwell when he lives within a cult that epitomizes the 1984 book!!

seeing as you never botherered ringing me back or texting i thort id email you.. .

what a random turn of events, my jw housemate decided to show me she still liked me this friday.

she took me out for a rocking evening to celebrate my 2-1 result for my degree!.

this was rather nice as i had been getting increasingly jealous at the fuss others were making over her to make up for the horror of her best mate turning apostate!!

i've been thinking a lot lately about how much i've changed over the last year.

i've only been out of the borg for a year but i've changed so much.

my father called me the other day and told me that he found out that my husband has been going on these xjw boards and wanted to know how i felt about it.
