Take care Lin. I don't know if your wedding went off as planned on the 25th but I wish you well. Don't be afraid to drop in and say hi every so often.

30Goodbye to everyone..
by Lin infirst, i'd like to thank everyone here that has befriended me for your kindness and support.
having you to talk to after leaving the org made the shunning of everyone i ever knew and family much more bearable.
i initially came here for emotional support due to shunning and also to have questions regarding doctrine answered, which has been accomplished.

Maybe I can tag along with you and Jill.........slowly, if you promise slowly!
You bet Katie. We'll have a blast. Don't forget, cycling allows you to eat as much as you want. So this is all about the food, not about the clock.

What to do when your family DOESN'T shun you...
by logansrun inall right, i'm not dfd or dad; i just "walked away.
" all my friends, save one, completely ignore me and basically shun me (the word on the street is i'm an apostate :) ).
but my family, all hard-core jws except my more liberal mother, is causing some unsettling feelings.

Bradley I wouldn't send in a letter just yet. Your feelings towards your family can change at any time. Sending in that letter would only make future contact very difficult. Don't DF your family. You can reduce contact on your own for now easily enough.
It took me 3 years of not attending before I sent in my DA letter. Then the reasons for doing so were very obvious. It served my purpose to do that. I wouldn't have sent it in over simple anger because anger does go away. The repercusions of the letter will not.
Go slow. No need for speed here.

Hey, doon worry bout it
A friend of mine who is New Jersey born and recently divorced told me her ex husband and all his friends acted like they were role players on the Sopranos. Some of the wives in that group also did the same with the big hair and other trimings.
Myself I don't think all Italians act like the Sopranos. Or that they are all in the mob. I just think they want to be.

So you want comfort do you? Good for you. Don't we all.
Ummmm the amount of posts I have made shows that I don't have a grip on reality? Did you really want to say that? You sure that helps your point?
Now what was your point again? You are rich. You do threesomes. You found Christ. Your wife has no basis to leave you? You are alone with your money? waah waah waah.
Let's not forget how the society is at fault for all your troubles. They were cheerleaders for your wife leaving.
So are many of us.
Now about this reality thing. I'll only bring up one point. You seem to think that since your wife banged you that she has forgiven you. The bible says so. The elders say so. She has to have forgiven you. That isn't reality my friend. Not even close. My take is she wanted to forgive you. She wanted to make it work. But I think her living with a controlling piece of human waste was more than she could handle. Not even your money could keep her from recoiling at the very thought of you, let alone the sight.
She didn't forgive you and she didn't have to. Since she hasn't taken you to the cleaners financially I am very impressed with her. Of course that only reinforces what I think of you myself. That it was worth any price to be rid of you.
There ya go. I've handed out a little comfort with this post. Hope you wear it well.

I suppose what gets my blood up more than anything is anyone strong abusing their strength.
On a more positive note what is enjoyable for me is filling my days with activities. I strive to stay busy.

YOU GET A CLEAN SLATE, once both decides to resume the marriage.
Take a reality pill buddy. You haven't a clue as to how life works. You deserve to lose her. You are still blaming her.
There isn't enough cheese on earth for this whine.

Careful Stacey. Much like cigarettes if you post one little post you might find yourself back on the hard stuff even setting your alarm clock so you'll have enough time to read all the new posts.
But seriously I'm glad you're doing great. It's good to hear.

Lisa yes we only have his side of the story. Do you think her side would make him look any better? He has admitted to sleeping with other women (against bible principles) and then want her to follow his interpertation of bible principles by staying married to him? Please, you know better than that.
This is a very controlling man who has lost control and is busy pointing the finger at elders, the society his wife and every other direction than at himself.
If anything the elders kept her in a loveless marriage longer than she should have. I have known many women in her shoes where the elders have encouraged her to stick with the marriage, to make it work. She is well rid of him.
I know we love to bash the society around here and I've done plenty of that. But sometimes we need to take responsibility for our lot in life. I think this is one of those times. He messed up his marriage. He claims to be devasted??? Wonder how she felt when she found out he was banging someone else???
