That time of year again... Mum and Memorial
by MisfitMeL in
1. jw
2. friends
here we go again... i never mention anything about the meetings or study articles or associating with other jws in emails to my mum so i think she suspects that i am not attending my local kingdom hall (which is true).

so the line in her most recent email isn't suprising - i hope you'll be attending the memorial on the 22nd of this month.

the thought of what i could reply is giving me a dangerous itch!

I have found a local editor that favors my letters - so.....
by AK - Jeff in
1. jw
2. experiences
i kind of submitted a 'closure' letter to the local jw's.

i don't actually know if it will be posted - but the local editor has printed all my past letters - and all of them have been far more critical and pointed than this one.

i think he will print it - we shall see.

this is my first time in a discussion forum.

i'm an ex-jw who hasn't "officialy" left the religion because i'm afraid my family will shun me.

i've been "inactive" for 10 years.

Question for you born ins
by startingover in

2. friends
when i was growing up as a born in jw, i remember the fear that dfing stirred up within me.

as a kid, seeing a df'd person was quite a scary thing.

thinking back about how it was growing up, it occurred to me that at the time, i never realized that a person had to be baptized in order to be df'd.

Shuning the shunner
by loosie in

2. experiences
my daughter goes to a school where one of the office personel is a jw.

my hubby is df'd i haven't been to a meeting in 3 years.

when we go into the office and have to talk to her she directs all of her responses to me even if my husband is the one that asked the question.. once my husband went in there with my daughter and this person didn't direct her answers to my husband who asked the question, but to my daughter who was just tagging along.. this is stupid.

Do you consider your time as a JW wasted time??
by karter in
1. jw
2. experiences
many of us have devoted a lot of time and energy to the jw's at the expense of other things like education , planing for retirement , family time just to name a few.. i don't consider it all wasted time there was a lot of good i learnt however i'm doing things now as a jw i never would have.. i don't have the same time pressure and never fell guilty about taking a lot of time out for myself as one elder said to me"if we don't keep you brothers real busy in the work of the kingdom you get swallowed up by the world" .

karter.
