Tainted Love: Your JW wedding
by Julia Orwell inmine was actually great because my non-jw parents decided to pay for the reception, limo, cake, dress, honeymoon, and more.
i can thank my non-jw parents for what a totally fun day it was.. but, half or more of the guests were jws, jws who don't speak to me anymore.
some have even slandered and abused me.

Mine wasn't in the Kingdom Hall, so that was a good start. I had some non-JW relatives of mine there, another good move. My best man is now an "apostate" also, so we have great conversations about our experiences. And I even managed to slip some non-JW music into the bridal march. All in all, making decisions that the WT would consider poor turned out not too shabby.

trying to convince my wife not to confess...
by wafflesandpancakes induring our engagement, we fooled around and touch each other down there.
it's not a "tap" but definitely is not "stimulation".
i tried to convince my wife, who, after 5 years of marriage, strangely felt guilty all the sudden, that its not do called porneia.

Waffles I can totally relate. My wife and I had sex before marriage. A couple of years into our marriage I discovered the truth about the Truth and discussed it with my wife. At that point I still believed in God and felt I was forgiven. I read the elders' manual on what they look for when it comes to repentance, went to a judicial committee, and told them exactly what they wanted to hear. They gave us a slap on the wrist. It was almost like they were saying, "Yes, most couples, even JW's, have sex before marriage." I think the most shocking thing to my wife was that the holy spirit did not expose me as an apostate.

I find I am Shunning my family !
by Phizzy inalthough i really hate the wt/jw shunning policy, which especially huts those who have been df'd, i find i am in a kind of way doing it to my jw family.. i do not include them in anything i do, in my own family gatherings, and i cannot be arsed to inform them of things going on in my family, or to even go and see them, unless really necessary.. this all adds up to a kind of "reverse shunning", and i do feel a twinge of guilt about it, but it is simply how things have become.. do you, fellow faders, find a similar thing happening ?.

I relate to this topic so much. I never had any intention of shunning JW family members or JW friends. It's just that you can't spend any time with them without hearing about the cult. And I'm done hearing about it.

I had been on this site for a short while when I saw that someone used their real life photo as their avatar and I recognized them immediately. We grew up in the same congregation. I pm'd them and we've gotten together a few times since. Such a great experience to be able to speak openly about what we know now!

Have you grown detached from caring about JW family and old friends?
by tootired2care inafter being out of the borg for a year and a half, weve dealt with a lot of nonsense from local elders stopping by unannounced, well-meaning do-gooders trying to encourage us.
somehow weve managed to get through this without getting dfd/dad.
for me the worst part of it all has been that much of my family has shunned me, and stopped talking to me, as soon as they heard through the grapevine that i wasnt going to meetings.

When I first discovered TTATT I wanted to keep my JW friends. But as time went on, being around them and hearing their constant pro-WT comments drove me away from even the ones I really liked. Sadly, that even includes some of my relatives. I try to engage their authentic personality as much as possible, but the cult personality pops up so often that it's difficult to stomach.
