my grandchildren--all 7 now--found out another arrived the other week ( via the grapevine )
if you've been around here long enough, you will have seen people saying how they "gave up" or "sacrificed" certain things so that they could be good little jws.
what about those of us who were growing up in it and we didn't even have a choice in the matter?
what about those of us from whom some things in life were forcibly ripped away, things that 'normal' people take for granted in their life?.

well we don't care that he has cut us off!
we have 4 kids, he ain't going to see them before the grim reaper comes lookin for him.
my job skills are well in demand in alberta canada so that's our next move, we are getting out of the uk sinking ship asap, we have family in alberta who will sponsor us so i think it's time to leave and make a new start for our kids, as their aren't no jobs in the uk for them now even with university qualifications behind them.
go for it Goat---wish i had when i could. the internet keeps us together---keep me posted on FB x
in my case, i was df, my nephew from bethel was in town,.
he came to visit my family.
he knock at the door, i answer.
1971. i was 23--had relocated to a new area with my pregnant jw wife. i really had had enough of it all by then.
a film had been made locally--"that'll be the day"--with David Essex (buddy's music )
in one scene--he threw his school briecase off a bridge into a river.
wife & i were out on the ministry--we happened to walk across the very same bridge---you can guess the rest.
my past life just floated away
ive never regretted it for a moment---one of my better impulse decisions.
yossel the hassid is in london on business.
it's now one hour to shabbos and he's all dressed up in his shabbos clothes ready to go to a local shul.
he takes the lift to the ground floor and walks towards the exit, as he reaches the reception area he sees a stunning british airways hostess with blond hair and a face and figure you could die for.

He takes the lift to the ground floor and walks towards the exit, as he reaches the reception area he sees a stunning British Airways hostess with blond hair and a face and figure you could die for. She has just checked in. As soon as she sees Yossel, she stops in her tracks and walks quickly over to him.
"Hello," she says to him.
"Hello to you too," he says..
"I have a confession to make," she says.
"What is it?" he asks.
"I have a sexual fantasy," she says.
"Nu, so go on," he says.
"I've always wanted to be with a Hassidic man. I want to run my hands up and down his white silk socks, run my hands over his tzitzis and my fingers through his beard, play with his peyess, eat kichel with him, poke my finger in his puppik, remove his gatkes, play with his shlong and then shtup!
So I want you to join me now. I have a room upstairs just waiting for us. What do you say?"
Yossel looks at her thoughtfully and says...............
"And what's in it for me?"
an inspirational quote or saying you would like to share?
i have a little book that i write stuff down in,, some funny, some serious .... .
here's one i stole from a friend's f/b feed..... .
"i used to be indecisive---but now i'm not so sure "
(not my original--heard somwhere years ago )
i've been wondering about this for some time.
if there are 60,000+ registered users on here, what percentage are actual non-dfed or non-daed witnesses?
if it was 1/3, that would be over 20,000 active/inactive witnesses that post and read these pages- and that's huge.
last year, being new her & confused as to who was who--i asked members to state if they were still active JW or not.
i blundered in to a minefield--nearly got cyber -lynched.
shit--meet fan.
i know if you join the military it is considered that you have dissassociated yourself...but if you are in an accident and are given blood when you are unconcious...is that in itself reason for df?
or what if you willingly accepted a blood transfusion?
what if you do not show remorse or repentance or even refuse to meet with the elders?
reading stuff like this reminds me how glad i got out 30 years back--& now my son (35) is DF--his kids should be spared being murdered by this cult.
dave the elder is actually a nice guy, he fixed the walls of our house, took six months!!!!.
anyway my ,never been a jw husband, was driving home and saw him and all the pain that i have gone through went through his head and he though what right did this guy have?
he spent six months comming to our house as he pleased and then to turn around and shunn my wife!!!!.
completly ignore disfellowshipped children and never speak at all to them , also what about the children of the disfellowshipped children that are growing up unaware of the "truth " ?
im thinking of writing to my inlaws who have never bothered with our child for two and a half years to tell them to just walk on by if they see us as it would confuse her if they saw us and acted as though nothing has happened .
then they will be good jws and obediant to the watchtower and not blame us for not letting them see her which is what they lie and tell people !.
quotinfg from fatfreak
""to quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man." (1 Cor. 5:11,13)"
ive sometimes thought about this---surely this only applies to a (JW) " brother" who continues to associate--whilst doing wrong---not someone who has left/resigned/'DA'd----they no longer "call themselves a brother"--so the congregation wouldnt mix with them anyway.
or am i missing something?

fatfreek might find this interesting
this is a copy paste from the uk site exjw-reunited:
Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2011 6:04 pm Post subject: personal update
as some of my friends here know--i first joined this site whilst trying to locate my estranged son--whom i had found had been disfellowshipped.
i subsequently found him on facebook--and began a slow, exploratory dialogue.
a surprise phone call wednesday--from his lady partner--they were here on the island--& would i like to meet them.
a 2 hour pub meet up followed--they make a lovely couple--we had no awkward silences---and it looks like the start of something good. the missing 27 years started to shrink.
and i'm delighted to say his lifestyle is totally opposite to that required of jw dom.
a real chip off the old block!! makes me proud
