I'm not DF or DA, but I still get shunned...

by darthfader in

i met a couple i used to know many years ago (probably 20) in a local "big box" store.

i knew they looked familiar and since they were dressed up and it was saturday "mid day" i put two and two and two and came up with 666... they were jw's.

i didn't say anything to them just minded my business picking up supplies when the woman came over to me and started asking me if she new me from work or some company.

Zeb, Here's a quick quote from Wikipedia: Cooties are, in American and Canadian childlore, a kind of infectious disease... A child is said to "catch" cooties through any form of bodily contact, proximity, or touching of an "infected" person or from a person of the opposite sex of the same age. Often the "infected" person is someone who is perceived as "different" and bears some kind of social stigma:[3] of the opposite sex, disabled, someone who is shy or withdrawn, someone who has peculiar mannerisms, etc. The phrase is most commonly used by children aged 4–10; however, it is also used by many others older than.
The key word in that quote is childish :)

LongHairGal, I must have looked real content.

free2beme, I'm sure that they look at it as a spiritual test that they passed.

free and happy, It is encouraging to know that once a person is free, that life eventually becomes normal. Building friendships outside that cult is key to achieving a more balanced life.

LostGeneration... Yes, I do have cooties and they keep me warm at night :)

Satnus, interesting observation -- I like that "What planet are you from..." what a way to turn it around on them.

Shirley, It's nice to know that the JW's don't practice shunning... I feel so much better now. It must have been the cooties.

Blondie, when we were in my wife and I used to associate with a number of couples. We started seeing the cult for what it is and slowly became inactive. It was about that time that several couples we were pretty close with started canceling any outings with us. They'd tell us that we needed to go out in service more before they would associate with us anymore...
It really is true that "cults shoot their wounded."

I said no, and her husbands spoke up and said "Yeah, he's Darth Fader from the old Foo Bar congregation..." And she went on "yeah, what congregation do you go to..." I said I haven't been for a long long time. They immediately dropped their stuff and hurriedly left the aisle without speaking to me to determine my status or encourage me.... It's like I had the plague or was a zombie desirous of eating their precious spiritual brains...

Ugh.. So tired of the games...

What will children say during the meeting?

A Brother conducting the Watchtower study directed a question to the children: "Can anyone tell us what the resurrection means?"
A young boy about 6 years old raised his hand, without any "ear-whispering" from his parents and answered,
"I know that if you have a resurrection that lasts more than four hours you are supposed to call the doctor."

It took over five minutes for the congregation to settle down enough from their laughter before the Watchtower Study could be continued.

ok It appears that without that "option token" you cannot access the site.
