I'm sorry. I'm sure this is very painful. I understand because My Mother remarried last year and she went back and forth on whether she wanted me there. She told me to my face she didnt want something painful there on her happy day. It's sick how they don't see how much pain they cause us by saying these sorts of things and they aren't even able to care because they are so brainwashed. I hope for you that you find peace. We can't change them but we can live as honestly and as happily as possible despite our strange upbringing and continuous pains to our consciousness that don't really belong there.
You aren't bad1 Try to remember that they are brainwashed and there's no real foundation for her finding your presence hurtful or destructive of her day.

by finding my way inmy husband and i bought a house recently aand apparently our new house is smack in the middle of a diligent congregations territory.
they've been in our neigborhood twice a week since we moved in a month ago.
there are a lot of guard dogs in our neigborhood (yeah, i live in the hawaiian guetto) and they all go nuts when the witnesses are walking by.

This is mostly a venting post. I'm well aware of how meaningless it all is but I feel sorry for them mostly. The sisters were very friendly to me and no one has returned to my house. just the street and it causes a LOT of BARKING! It's sort of like a haunting. It just makes me uncomfortable thats all. I do care what people think of me though I wish I didn't.
Great Idea about passing around the letter to the neighborhood although I don't want them to think I'm weird, pushy or disrespectful to other beliefs either. You see we are pretty much the only white family. The rest are mosly filipino and hawaiian. :0) I've been meaning to bake soemthing to make friends

I was df'd 6 years ago but still believed it all until 3 years ago or less when I decided to get to the root of why I wasn't motivated to go back. I started researching and was conpletely dissolusioned and just shocked and depressed for awhile. I even bought a 1968 awake bv from ebay I wanted to know for sure that these things I was reading on the net were real. I am still recovering but during that time I felt like you. As time passes it gets better and your beliefs about god and worship may completely change within the next year and more as time goes on. The biggest relief for me came when I no longer felt like I needed a church to worship. One of the things that helped me the most was Franz's book crisis of conscience and the 2nd one,,, I can't think if the title. This website also helped a lot. It helps to read or connect with others who have felt like you and to see that they are normal and doing well. Many of us have lost our family and friends as well and will be the first to acknowledge the trauma. If you can find a counselor to help you through it that can help. PM me if you want as well. We are here for you and we DO care!! Time does heal this wound. I can honestly say that I am a happier person now that I left and I know who I am and have a stronger sense of my spirituality now than I did as a witness. It just takes time. don't go back :( It's not a happy place once you know the truth about "the truth".

Not at Homes
by Bungi Bill indo the jws still emphasize following up on "not at homes":.
making "every effort" (or any effort at all) to contact all persons in their "territory"?.
this last month, april, was supposed to be a time of extra effort on their part.

lol, I just posted a topic on this. THey were on my street 2 times a week all of April. I had my first post DFing encounter. It felt pretty good actually. I unltimately chose not to discuss anything other than not coming back to my home. then they kept coming to the street... it's been awkward since I feel like they are probably muttering about the apostate living at 951 mailani.. they probably had a whole conversation about me while I was mowing my lawn this morning.

My husband and I bought a house recently aand apparently our new house is smack in the middle of a diligent congregations territory. they've been in our neigborhood twice a week since we moved in a month ago. There are a lot of guard dogs in our neigborhood (yeah, I live in the hawaiian guetto) and they all go nuts when the witnesses are walking by. Stirs up the whole street like nothing else does. The first time they came by my visiting friend answered the door and told them I had a little one and was still sleeping and also that I used to be a witness. She thought that would be enough to discourage a second visit but I knew better. I dwelled on what I would say for the week. I wanted to say just the right thing just in case I could make someone think but I was afraid that I didn't know my facts enough to really make a good argument under pressure and not send off any signals to make them discredit me in their head so I ended up just telling the truth. I told the sisters that I was df'd 6 years ago and I had no interest in returning. Also that I did not want an elder to return as I do not wish to discuss it with them. I was friendly and thanked them for their time and I held my baby and tried to just be normal hoping that at the very least they might feel like I wasn't a scary demon possesed "apostate". Now they won't stop coming to our street and I feel like I have to put on a show of "normal" when they are around. That or hide :)
just getting this off my chest. I can't believe it took 6 years to have them come to my door.
