I for one am not sick of seein your name on the board. This is how I dealt with making up with my non-JW relatives, which were all of them. I called each of my aunts, and told them I was no longer associated with the JW religion. Then I explained how sorry I was for cutting them off, because that is what the religion taught. After a nice long conversation, I requested to be included in ALL family get-togethers. I no longer cared if a holiday or a birthday was involved, because I explained how much I needed them so I could rebuild my life. I will let your imagination fill in the blanks on my post, but for me the important thing is getting involved in their lives. Your relatives will see if you are trying to become involved in the family, they will get involved in you life. I hope this helps a little.
