My father - a zealous JWN poster - told me that it's impolite to start a thread, and not answer the questions of the posters afterwards. So here goes.
Thank God - she is not baptized, has no interest in being baptized, and never wants to be baptized - ever. (On a side note, today at our lovely convention, one of my other very close friends got baptized...the virus is spreading fast) Thankfully, she does keep in contact with her DF'd sister thanks to AIM, Yahoo, whatever she uses. Her parents don't like it, but seeing how it's family, their own daughter, they'd feel pretty bad cutting off ties to her seeing how the two sisters are pretty close.
Little shout-out, "Bonnie_Clyde", your story sounds horrible. With a freshly baptized friend of mine, I know that in a few short years, I'm not going to be in contact with him - ever. I can only imagine what it must feel like to have your own family shun you. My immediate family is on board, and our only hope is for my (very liberal) aunt and uncle to wake up, everyone else is very into it.
Of course, we both talk of life after High School, a scary, troubling thought. College is something we both look forward to, but it's also an experience we're nervous of encountering. Freshman year all over again. "Y-Knot", I am 110% sure that neither she, or I would like to go the UBER ZEALOUS route, but thank you for the idea. "Black Sheep", you've given real food for thought, and may have answered my question, so I thank you. And OUTLAW, so far as my name goes, I figured, some people may think to do it, some people may want to do it, so i did it anyways.
T.I.T.S. :D
