I've been out for a year since January and I've had two facebook jw friends get in touch with me. One was a friend for a while until I told her I was no longer a jw and that I had NEVER been df'd or I never da'd myself but I told her I was just being honest with her because I know she follows a set of rules that don't allow for her to have "worldly" friends. Sure enough she deleted me as a friend. Then another jw friend just recently found me on facebook and after going through a couple of paragraphs about how everyone was doing in my family, (I wanted to be sure to do that before so she could hear how happy we were), I told her to I was no longer a jw and I was "just being honest" etc, just like the other friend I told. Because I knew I'd never hear from her again, I said, "it should be a red flag for a group of people to be able to tell you who you can be friends with and who you can't." Sure enough, I never heard back from her. And let's remember I'M NOT DF'D OR DA'D! It doesn't matter though, even if your just "inactive" you will get shunned. And for the record I don't consider myself "inactive" either. I'm very clear I'M OUT. But I tell these people upfront because hopefully it will make them think a little........wf

My JW friend de-friended me!
by keeshondgirl ini hadn't attended meetings for over a year now and i had a good jw friend from another hall.
she was friends with me before me being a witness.
we knew each other from school and she had a hand in converting me.

Man this post must have taken you forever! Great job! And no, "God" does not NEED anything. I'm with Heaven, people NEED something like this, at least they think they do!........wf

Jookbeard that was hilarious, I was worried there for a minute!
Will I be going? Let me see, I'll have to ask the kids. "Hey kids, do you want to go to the Memorial on March 30th?"
They say, "heeeeeellllllll no".
"Hey don't talk like that!"
"Sorry mom, heck no??"
"That's more like it."
All this memorial talk though has made me want a nice bottle of really good red wine
