Has you all know I was engaged to another lady before I married my wife, but part of the reason my ex and I broke up was because we couldn't get a kingdom hall wedding. To make a long story short why is it such a big deal ?

Would you ever go back for the fake friends ?
by Pitchess Co-Gen into quote the great rapper t.i this statement hit home : "never forget the people who stayed when everyone else left.. stay true to your team".
i had a lot of people leave my side three years ago; because some of my "phony homies" began to listen to my ex-finance spreading rumors about me and my family.
so to make a long story short i lost a lot of "friends" from my old way of life, but i picked up some true homies , and reconnected with a true homie in the long run.. i just had to ask that question because some of us were popular while we were in or we weren't the social butterflies.

by Pitchess Co-Gen init seems they can't even let you get disfellowshipped in peace !
i've been out for three years now, and i heard that i'm a whack job, i'm gay ( i'm married with a son ), that i lied on a judicial committee, and these rumors were started by my ex-fiance and her meddling congregation.
when i heard about these things i called my p.o or c.o.t.b.e ( mind you i'm disfellowshipped when i called ) .

I told him I heard all of the things people are saying about me and my family, and I told him this discouraging me from coming back. You know what that man told me and I quote : " If that's your prerogative . That's your prerogative. " He told me your getting what you deserved.
By the way I jacked this topic from another site.

JWs react with joy when something bad has happen to inactive or DF'd ones
by Anator ini've noticed when i was an active dub that some jws act joyful whenever they hear that an inactive jw or a df'd person had something bad happen to them.
some have a glee-ful smile and they give that *look* that says, "we told you so".
have you ever experienced what i'm referring to?

I had to bring this topic back. lol. I was talking to my mom, and I asked her if anybody asked about me. She said these "elders" asked how was I doing. Now this pisses me off because if they cared so much they would contact me themselfs instead of doing the half- you know what job about it.
I told my mom since I left the religion I've gotten married ( I had a false friend said that I wasn't fit to be married ), and I gotten promoted . My mother didn't like what I said and got off the phone with me.lol. So the want people leave the JWs to do bad , so they can come crawing back.

What's The Worst Thing An Elder or Elders Did To You?
by minimus inwas there anything truly terrible??
?

The worst thing an "elder" ever did to me was in 2008. I was in one congregation, but I wanted to return to my home congregation because I've been reproved there twice ( once private and the last one public ). When I came into this congregation in 2007 I thought I was going to move up the food chain ( this congregation was full of older people, so I thought I would move up faster ). but I got into some trouble in the congregation. When the last reprove happened everybody changed up on me, so I said you know what I'm gonna go back to my old congregation. This is where the story and the "elders" there get very corrupt; I've been at my old congregation for about 7 months the P.O came up to me out in service he said: Hey Pitchess the "elders" in so & so congregation never sent your publisher card . I said oh I'll just go there and talk to the brothers. "
When I went there the "elders" made it seem that they forgot to send my card and it was all one big misunderstanding . Ok now two months go by, and still no publisher card. I found out over time that the "alpha" elder thought I went back to my old congregation because I "running" from judical reprove", so it became one congregation against the other. In the end beat the "alpha" , and got my card to my new congregation.
There's way more to this story. I'll tell it later.
