  Invitations to the DC

  please correct me if i'm wrong on this.. one of the guys who works with me called me at work today (his day off) and said that a jw had just come to his door.

  the guy was by himself and said that he was new to the area and offered a tract of some sort and an invitation to the dc coming up in a couple of weeks in fort worth.

  i don't remember ever giving out invites to the dc.

  I'm surprised they talked to him, most JWs are giving out the DC invites in the same manner as the memorial invite. Stick it in the door, ring the bell and leave.

  I clearly remember thus drama, it was what cemented in my mind that I made the right decision to leve the org. It was during the time my wife was allowing conversation about the "truth" it also made a big impression with her. I think if ou are awake and thinking, this will kick you in the gut.

  so i decided to attend the meeting last.

  since i haven't gone in about 2 weeks, and i leave as soon as it ends, and elder decided to corner me at the end.

  lately i've been through some very depressing family issues that are non-jw related so i haven't been my best at acting like i care about the org.

  today has been one of the most aganizing days since i woke up.

  my family has been pressuring me to show up at the memorial for the past week.

  it became very intense today with my dad texting me constantly to get me to confirm and when i didn't answer he would call my wife and then she would constantly nag me to answer my dad and so on and so forth.

  How are things now, has the original frenzy died down?

  I like to think this is true.

  My wife drove by the community center where our old cong was meeting. She says the parking lot was sparse.

  Just like you friend this was the early and only one for the area.
