JW's are not nice people
by Nickolas ini cut and pasted the subject line from a comment made by one of this board's longtime members.
it got me wondering if this is the prevalent thinking in here.
for a very long time i believed that jw's and all fundamentalist christian folk are a cut above the norm.

Perhaps if your entire family were JW's and you were df'd or da'd and they treated you as dead you would get the "vibes"...

First official shunning was AWESOME
by SweetBabyCheezits inwe went to target this weekend to look at halloween costumes for the kiddos (and maybe me - i'm still a kid at heart).
my daughter and i were walking down a main aisle when an ex-friend - the very one who testified that i refused to discuss my doubts - came out of a side aisle and almost turned our direction.
we made eye contact and i gave him a nod as we continued to walk toward him.... but he stopped like he'd run into a brick wall, then turned and started walking with his back to us so that we didn't cross paths.. my daughter pipes up and says, "hey, daddy, isn't that [edit]??

I remember the first time I got shunned in public it was in a grocery store simular to your experience. Turned a corner and saw an old "friend" of 25 years. Not thinking I smiled and said "hi" she turned up her nose and huffed off. Then I remember the first time I shunned a JW in public. Was walking into a hardware store heard my name called out turned to see an elder I knew smiling waving and coming towards me. I looked at him and turned and walked into the store...

Today I seized the day...and disassociated myself

it was a long time coming.
i stopped going to meetings june 09. the reason i left it so long is because my husband is still in and for this reason i see witnesses from time to time.

Is it mandatory to either be DF or to DA?
The reason I asked that we haven't attended a meeting for almost two years now. We weren't DF and we haven't written a letter of DA. We just literally faded. Do they not just cross you off their records or whatever for non-attendance?
Thanks.

I would think they would have to meet with you before they can take any action. If you moved to another town or state there is not much they can do to DF or consider you DA'd...

Believe me I know how you feel I didn't want to play their games either but I just knew if I didn't put in a form that they could not question it would not be over for me. I hate this legalize crap as much as the next person but that's about all they understand. Also when one sends in a DA letter it is shown and discussed with the entire elder body then a copy is sent to Brooklyn that's just how these warped people think...It's been 6 years for me and I know that they will never try to contact me again...

I really didn't mean to say it is a problem just that they may not accept it as actually from her and still try to contact her...that's all.

The only problem I see is you sent it in an email. You may not want to get into the legalize of it but it is not a legal document and they might not accept it. As they see it anyone could have had access to your email account and sent it and they may not know it was actually you that sent it. When I sent my DA letter it sent it registered mail to our PO. As legal as it comes no questions asked. I agree when it was time for me to leave I was just going to fade but I wanted to cut it completely off...
