  Am I now an apostate ?

  by smiddy in

  2. beliefs

  my wife and i never received an invitation to the memorial ,last year we did ,but not this year.i am the only one where we live in this small town who has challenged the witnesses on the couple of times they have called on our home these past 5 years .

  my wife has never been confronted with them.my son and his wife both ex jw`s have not had what used to be called shepherding calls in the 5 years they have been here.none of them have ever been disfellowshipped or disassociated themselves from the organization ,whereas i did a couple of years ago.da`d that is.a couple of months ago they by-passed our house in the d2d ministry that i witnessed.so my wife is not worthy of a call?

  she has never said a bad word about them .and they have never spoken to her in the 5 years we have been here .

  Welcome,

  Sometimes one day at a time is what you have to do. A slow fade is fine, even prefered (if you can stand it). If you can bring a few others out at the same time all the better.

  Visit the forum often and ask if anything presents a problem.. the members are awesome.

  There was a knock at the door....

  or more like a thunking sound really, which set our little dog into a fit of barking.

  i crawled out from behind the fridge where i was doing a repair on the waterline for the icemaker, so i could go see what all the commotion was about.

  i fugured it was going to be my neighbor returning my ladder but instead it was jw's handing out memorial invites.. the woman and the young man (her 20 something son) were people i had known but hadn't seen since we faded 4+ years ago.

  I really hope that someday she or her son think about what you said when yet another "New LIght" change is made.

  i have been wandering around the board for a while now, and have decided it is time to contribute a bit of my history.

  i have described my involvement with the witnesses as being from the outside looking in.

  my sweet honey has been trying for two years to get reinstated.

  hello all, just wanted to update you all on my further steps in the exiting process (a process that may never end in some respects).

  to set up a context for my update: my story in a nutshel-.

  did a quick fade in the fall of 2009 to start going to university and escape a very unhappy living situation.

  DA used to be used for unbaptized DFing

  by rebel8 in

  2. experiences

  does anyone remember this, or was it just a local thing?

  all the time i've spent on these boards, i've never heard anyone mention it.

  just curious.. when an unbaptized publisher was in a situation "warranting" dfing, they would announce from the platform that the person had been dad.
