I'm racking my brain here.

if you've read some of my previous topics you can kind of get an idea of where i am right now.. i'm still living at home.

i just turned 22 years old.

a couple months ago i confessed my true feelings and beliefs to the elders.

I'm also thinking they may be waiting for the upcoming CO visit. Is that a possibility? CO is going to be in the congo next week. Am I not what they would deem an apostate? I've told them I'm not coming back ever. They know it's past the point of doubting and that I don't believe at all anymore.

For various reasons, I actually might prefer it if they did disfellowship me. This way it's on me, not them. If they don't, I may eventually send a disassociation letter. I don't want to have anything to do with this religion anymore. Of course, I could always just ask an elder next time they stop by, which I'm sure they will soon enough.

Damn, I do have blonde hair and blue eyes. I know I did a lot in the congregation. MS/Pioneer. I just figured with telling them my views and telling them I wouldn't change my opinion, that for certain they would disfellowship me for apostasy.

I'm just wondering if maybe they are waiting on the yokels in New York to tell them what to do or if they are just going to leave it be. It's just very surprising to me that they wouldn't disfellowship me if they know they aren't getting me back and that I believe false things. Also, I've been trying to help others out of the organization. They don't know about that though, I'm sure of it.

I'm feeling disappointed now

i've been in this board for 2 months now, and have read and researched enough to know that what i thought was the one and only true religion isn't actually true.

finding out real facts has brought me severe disillusion and sadness.

as a jw i was taught that we were special in view of john 6:44 "no man can come to me unless the father, who sent me, draws him; and i will resurrect him in the last day.".

I can understand your feelings. Being lied to all along. It makes you feel like you are an idiot or something. You aren't an idiot. Even the most brilliant of people can be duped in certain circumstances.

Does anybody have any idea? Will they even bother disfellowshipping me or will they just let me go eventually? I'm really anxious to know. Is there any new information about this in the elder's manual?

As for these elders, maybe it is the case they still have hope for me. I don't know why that would be. I told them I wasn't changing my mind. Is it possible that they won't ever disfellowship me, despite my apostate views?

They are strong JW's and it's sort of an elephant in the room. My mom has done shunning of a friend before, so I know she isn't opposed to it. When I told her my views she said "You know what the end result of this will be? I don't want to lose you." She has said some other things that lets me know she would take the disfellowshipping seriously.

I'm still living at home. I just turned 22 years old. A couple months ago I confessed my true feelings and beliefs to the elders. The elders have been stopping by non-stop to "encourage" me. So here's the first thing I'm wondering. Why have they not mentioned anything about having a judicial committee meeting yet? How soon do you think I can expect it? They know I've been on apostate websites and have told them apostate views on the organization. How much longer until they try to disfellowship me?

Here's another thing I'm wondering about. I had been talking to my mom and stepdad about moving out. They are kicking my sister and her husband out of the other house they own because they aren't paying rent and are willing to let me live there for very cheap until my brother and his girlfriend get married in summer and then they would move in along with me. They told me I could do this as soon as my sister and her husband move out. They know the whole situation of my "independent" thinking. They know I'm probably going to get disfellowshipped. Why are they letting me move into that house? A couple theories I have are maybe my mom wants to have an excuse to be able to talk to me after the disfellowshipping. Another thing I thought of is maybe the elders, since my stepdad is an MS, are trying to get them to push me out of the house and my mom and stepdad don't want to just kick me out.

I'm very confused by the whole situation. Maybe somebody here could shed some light on both of my questions.
