Something similar happened to me after I faded and quit going to KH. My wife ex-wife started telling her friends about my "apostate thinking" and that was it. De-friended in real life, like wildfire. I got a letter from my former roommate at Bethel telling me to "come back to Jehovah", etc. others heard rumors I had done this that and the other, etc.

Apostate: From 279 Facebook friends to 81 overnight... thanks MOM!
by sosoconfused inthe drama continues, i log on to facebook this morning and notice that i have about 20 some odd personal messages from people calling me an apostate to they will return to me when i return to jehovah.. all of this based upon my brother informing others that i have "apostate thoughts".
my mother also encourage long-time famil friends to "unfriend" me because i have taken my stand on the side of satan... wow.

Be strong label licker. Record every conversation with the elders if you can, to protect yourself. You can play the game your way- they do not have any real power over you.

Bravo Shyla!! I'm so glad I could help put your story online it is very hearfelt and empowering.
One at a time we escape from the "Watchtower Power"!
BTW you can scrub to a particular place in the video (such as the part where the ASL starts) and then copy the url from there. So then when you email or embed a link, the video will start right there.

The true meaning of "Jehovah" and the "overlapping generation" REVEALED!
by slimboyfat inthere has been some renewed interest in the meaning of the name jehovah on the forum in recent weeks.
combined with the ongoing discussion about the new "overlapping generation" teaching, speculation among the friends and among the ex-friends has been reaching something of a frenzy.
so it's perhaps appropriate that a little more should be revealed now about the meaning behind some of the perplexing events that have been taking place.

Funny as hell Slimboyfat. Hook line and sinker you had me right up to the end.

Interesting from JWTalk. Borg picture being used...
by Newly Enlightened ini was lurking on jwtalk [gung ho borg forum] and came across a picture of capt.
picard as a borg for a moderator's avatar 'staff'.
does this mean it's a 'in your face' for the apostates?

Was Alias written by former JWs?
by Londo111 inspoiler alert!.
i finally got through all five seasons on netflix.
this series really floundered toward the end...sometimes the plot devices made characters like sloan do some wacky things...hes evil, hes good, hes evil, hes good.

First 3 seasons of Alias = GREAT
4th season of Alias = OKAY
5th season of Alias = SUCKED
It suffered from the X-Files problem, and the Lost problem too...just sort of disintegrated and got more and more silly IMO.
Have you seen Nikita with Maggie Q? That's been a fun show, reminds me of Alias, which of course has some common thread with La Femme Nikita.

My Letter to Brooklyn about the Parousia that got me disfellowshipped
by cofty inthis is the letter i wrote back in '96 about the parousia.
following the '95 watchtower that disconnected the "generation" from 1914 i began to look carefully at end-time prophecy and soon discovered what i knew were basic errors in what i had been taught.. i was a loyal jw at the time and was still serving as an elder.
i used only watchtower publications in my research.
