Wow, this guy lives in New Zealand one of the world's most beautiful spots and he is really nuts. Some drugs are really not good for you. He is a perfect example of that.

can anyone recall the question from readers saying it was ok to help a df person in difficulty?.
least i think it was a qfr - it cited examples like helping someone change a tyre at the roadside, or giving a single df lady a lift home from the meeting in the evening, or somesuch..... any takers?.
I can remember an elder asking my ex and I to pick up an df'd woman and her handicapped child and take her to meeting. We did this for quite awhile. She would always try to make conversation with us and I felt weird about it (cause you aren't supposed to talk with them, right?) She came back in but has since died. I am sure that was in the early 90's.

allow me to explain.. of course you are a normal person with warts and flaws.
but you have a person (s) in your life, through work, church, or some other limited environment with whom you have complete control of their "diet" of information when it comes to you.
to put it another way, they only know you from what you 'feed' them.
I have distanced myself from others and their problems lately. However, they want to continue to drag up old business even having others join in their fest of hating me. Most of you don't know me so don't go there. Remember, there are two sides to every story. His is from his side of the table and may not be the real thing and mine is from my point of view. It is hard to think how the loyalties to those not here on this board, run so deep. I will not be a lab rat for him or her or their friends here. I am not going away.

i was planning on going to a meeting or two with my wife.......maybe one or two a month.....but if i do...... i still really do not want to ever go to another memorial......they have weirded me out for years and most of jw friends know that........but you know once you skip a memorial it is like you are marked for death already....i mean word gets around fast "omg...i just heard oompa did not go to the memorial!
so how is this gonna fly if i go to a couple of meetings a month, but skip the memorial?
and if was gonna try to appease my wife by going to some meetings.......should i just bite the bullet and go to the memorial........and then maybe only do the memorial?......i always thought that was sooo funny that we had a bunch of once a year jw's.........they loved coming and rejecting jesus every year..........oompa.
There's always so many more at the memorial why not just go to that and blend in to please your wife. Remember, it is a shorter meeting and on a full moon so you can make wonderful comments on the way home about how beautiful the moon is that night. Maybe, on the way to the car you can slip your arm around her and get cozy and look into to her eyes and then at the moon. Hope it isn't raining. Wish you the best. I hated the memorial, too. It was creepy like you said.

seven years ago i first discovered jwd.
i found this site through links at freeminds.org.
at the time i was attending meeting and miserable with the progress of a fade that was going no where.
Congrats! The longer you are out the better you feel, huh?
Kit
has there been a letter read at the meetings?.
.
maybe this has been discussed?.
I loved all of the suggestions! ROTFLMAF Mickey, even if you didn't do it yourself congratson posting it! I loved it so much. I really needed a laugh today. Feeling kinda blue.
Kit
mentally, physically, spiritually, sexually, materially, etc.??
?.
They convinced me I was happy, when I wasn't. They told me I was going to be protected but wasn't. They told me they knew what the bible said but they didn't. I don't think I can ever believe in the bible being the only book that tells us about the Almighty. They pretty much screwed me up.

Hey Mary, haven't they used that one before? LOL!
Kit
what happens if a df person attends memorial service?.
will they be treated badly?.
would they be snubbed?.
I can remember an elder saying to another at the memorial about all the df'd attenders, he called them "the walking dead!" Isn't that sweet? Why would you go to something like that if you don't go to meeting anymore. They don't care about them. They just forget you. You are $hit to them.
