Top Ten Signs that the Elders Want to Disfellowship You

by OnTheWayOut in

10. there's two guys in suits staying all night outside your home in a four-door sedan.. 9. an elder you spoke to on the phone calls and asks you to repeat what you said the other day, but asks you to speak slowly and clearly.. 8. suddenly, jw friends stop by and ask an aweful lot of the same questions.. 7. your laptop computer was moved, left on, or is missing.. 6. you left your car unlocked, it was thoroughly searched by someone but absolutely nothing is missing including your gps which was searched too.

5. your boss asks if you are in trouble with the law or someone, stating some really polite men were asking about you and left some "tracts.".

4. someone picked up the cigarette butts around your back porch.. 3. the bartender at your favorite nightspot asks if you have ever before seen the guys in the corner booth that have been ordering "cokes" all evening and pulling out a camera everytime you order a beer.. 2. you receive registered mail and you already served on a jury this year.. 1. your jw mother who finally had accepted that you will never go back starts begging you to either go back to the kingdom hall or move with no forwarding address..

im a longtime fader.

a fellow i work with is married to a dfd sister who had divorced her jw husband.

a couple of weeks ago this work companion came to me visibly quite uncomfortable and said he needed to talk.

I am happy to hear that the son went to visit his mom. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of their 'renewed' relationship.

friends

this question was inspired by a question on another thread.

to the ex-jw community here,.

do any of you regret learning that wt is not god's organization?

QuestioningEverything

Initially, it was devastating but the more I learned about their lies, the more free I became. I have no regrets since learning the 'real' truth about them.

Since Leaving The "Truth" Is Your Life Better?

by minimus in

jw
friends

you are told that if you "go back to the vomit" of the world, you will be miserable.. is your life better or worse since you've removed yourself from the organization's hold?.

QuestioningEverything

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH BETTER MY LIFE IS!!!!!!! It's wonderful, guilt/depression-free, relaxing, enjoyable. For the first time in my adult life, I feel at ease with myself and my environment. What a terrific feeling to have....

The theory that those who leave are 'returning to their vomit' is so off the wall. Life outside of that organization is like a neverending buffet with the best dishes on it!!

Returning to the WTBS- now that would be like 'returning to your vomit'. That's what their WTBS crap is like- it makes you sick.
