I think my situation with being disfellowshipped was different. I did nothing to defend myself. I didn't care if I got disfellowshipped. I really wanted out. I see immediate family members doing the same things I did many years ago and they are not being disfellowshipped but they are doing whatever they can to cover themselves and make sure they don't get shunned by the family.

Thank you Bryan
So do any of you celebrate the holidays? I did for 9 years about trying to fit in with my husbands family. I think the JW thing still is messing with my head it always felt weird doing it. Just not natural since I was raised against it. The last 3 years I stopped just because it seemed so materialistic. It's been all about give me this give me that. I could see doing it to help people and giving to those less fortunate. I think it should be about helping people.

That's true they can research so many things on the internet. I wonder if that's why so many more JW's are leaving. My sister who was involved until just a couple years ago was telling me how there are so many JW's leaving these days. When I was growing up we were not allowed to even look at anything that might contradict what they tought. Now it's so easy to just search the internet. I don't believe a lot of what I read on the internet though. But it gives a person an open mind. I had serious doubts when I was a teenager about the validity of the JW's even without the internet.

brinjen,
Thanks for requesting me as a friend in myspace.
Speaking of myspace, I've seen comments on here about JW's and that they are not supposed to have them. I'm so out of touch with what they do these days. So they are against myspace? That explains why when I told my mom who is still a JW to get a myspace account she wouldn't but she never explained why. There are 3 of us siblings me my sister and my brother that are not JW's anymore. She doesn't really talk to us about the religion anymore.
But then I also have 2 brothers that are Elders. The family is pretty split.

So I just found this site last night. What's it all about? Is everyone here someone who used to be a JW? I used to be one wow 17 years ago. I was disfellowshipped 12 years ago. Even though I hadn't gone to any meetings for 5 years still they disfellowshipped me. That's what I hear I wasn't actually there my family was though. I'm now married to a man who was raised as a Catholic. Neither one of us are involved with any religion at all.
Anyway how's everyone doing tonight?

I've had quite a few cats and that's just how cats behave. Both of my cats now I have to lock out of the bedroom at night at times or they will run all over on the dressers and knock things over and then run wrestle with eachother. Makes it really hard to sleep. Your cat seems to really like your attention. Mine are like that too. My older cat who's 9 will stand in the hall and put her foot out to try to stop me to get my attention they are so funny.
Then they both will try to sit on my lap at the same time and sometimes one will wrestle the other one off so they can sit there. The older one sleeps under the covers with me sometimes and puts her head on my arm even. They just really like human affection. Plus after all like with your cat you are all the cat has. So it's just wanting attention.

I went to the doctor today and was told I'm going to hell!!!!!!!!!!
by changeling ini went to my gp today.
i go there quite often since he's also my parent's doctor and i bring them to all their appointments.. i take my dad there at least once a month for blood work since he is on blood thinners, so i'm very familiar with the lady who draws blood.. today i had to have blood drawn myself, and the lady inquired about my parents.
she asked if they had had a nice christmas.

I've never experienced anything like that up North either. If a nurse started talking about hell I'd think she was nuts and never go back or even complain about her to someone in charge. It would be very out of place for that to happen around here though.
