Honestly, I never had any issue making friends. I guess I've always been naturally extroverted - that I had 'worldly' friends since I got out of high school. I refused to separate myself 100% from coworkers and all, and that is how I built relationships with people. But I admit to being socially 'naieve' in a sense, because I had NO idea how the other side lived!

Just lost one more friend
by paradisebeauty ini used to talk weekly on skype, with a sister from another country.
i didn't tell her much about my research and change of beliefs, until today ... in the conversations some doctrines came up and i told her i don't believe 1914, first, then i went on to tell her that i also don't believe there are 2 classes of christians, that i did not believe the government of the kingdom will be in heaven while the kingdom en earth, that i believe the whole kingdom will be on earth, and that from what i read, jesus was pretty clear that he will come back to earth, visibly.
the "god always had an organization" dogma was dropped and i told her it is not true, out of 9000 years of human history, it's not sure there were 1000 years when god had a loyal organization ..... i did not plan to tell her all this things, but it just happened, and things came up in the conversation... and once i dropped one bomb i dropped them all .... she said i do not sound like i am one of the jehovah's witnesses any more ... and even though we ended the call with "see ya" i have the feeling i will not hear from her any more ... .

Im sorry about this...I guess we get SO excited to have someone we can 'express' our beliefs to - that it scares them off. Ironically, they feel they can express themselves to everyonr else, and no one bats an eye -

I feel much better today, and all of YOUR have assisted in that change-over. I was such a MESS yesterday, and rightly so. Every time my parents have been given a 'life line' into my life, they toss it right back. My cousins untimely death - they ignored me. My family reunion - they walked right by me as if I didn't exist. And now this! I called one of my aunts and she really surprised me, she got ANGRY and told me that the rest of the family loves me, and she even offered to come stay with me to take care of me - if needed. She made me cry even more! My boyfriend even comforted me last night, and he too has agreed to go gluten free with me. So the support is THERE - just not from the 2 people most human beings would expect it from...

The thing with me is, I dont want to have to manipulate the situation to get my parents involved. It is the equivalent of being with man for 10yrs and browbeating him to marry you, you leave him in an attempt to 'convince' him he needs you, then he comes crawling back. To me, if he really wanted yo marry you - no browbeating would be necessary. Same with my mom (folks). If anything, I want natural affection to take over...not all of that background work.
Dont get me wrong, I lovr your idea though!!!

I have to thank each of you for responded, let alone in kind! I sat here with the phone in my hand crying...letting it all sink in. Then I got on this site and purged it - I had to. You can't make this shit UP!!! People would never understand the cruelty of having a parent disregard you when you are at a low point. I hear stories everyday at work of how this person hung out with their mom, or this person went on vacation with their parents...and in my head, I want that too. And its retarded to have to feel "left out" because my parents follow a cult. -

This is the same woman who I saw at my cousins funeral and she commented to my aunt that I "got really big" and claimed she didnt recognize me! So now that I finally know WHY I am so big (thyroid autoimmune disease) - she acts like she doesnt care. I take that back. It isnt an act. It is who she is now...a heartless JW.
It's my own fault for reaching out. I KNOW better!!! I set myself up for this, and as expected, got let down. So really, the blame is mine. After dealing with her and my fathers bullshit all these years and ignoring me as if I dont exist, I have to admit that her response cut deep! But I am calm enough now to rationalize her behavior and see her cultish ways.

Soooo...I have recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and am scared OUT of my mind. In a weak moment, I called my parents and my mom answered. I start crying as I tell her about my disease, and this woman says to me:
"Well...I hope you take care of yourself"
And she hangs up the phone!!! Now it makes me cry even more...and yes, I know, Im grown and shouldnt expect anything different. But I did! My mom should care. My mom should give a rats ass that her own daughter is sick. And to be so cold at a moment like THIS is disheartening. I sadly hoped my DF'shipped status would be irrelevant compared to what I am dealing with, and yet, I guess religion is so much more important than familial feelings. 😢

Passing ships in the night and the disobedient compassionate brother.
by The Marvster injust wanted to talk about two odd df'ing experiences i had; which gave me the 'personal' lesson that there are some in the wt who are definitely not militants when it comes to the whole disfellowshipping regime... .
passing ships in the night - the irony.
quite a while back, a brother turned up at my last congregation, he came to a few meetings and then i didn't see him for several weeks, and all of a sudden comes the announcement, he got df'd.

Amazing...isnt it? That some don't forget that we all are HUMAN! Makes it nice to see that. And it feels good. Ive had a few run-ins with a JW here and there, and some will speak - some wont. The most ironic was a very close friend of mine...who actually lived IN my house. This chick was a ho - H.O. 😁 but was living the double life, all the while, Im DF'd. This chick ends up deciding she wants to come clean, confesses, then gets reproved. But the best part is thay she had the audacity to tell me she could no longer deal with me until I cleaned up my life and came back? Wtf?!
So ya see...it can go either way.
