I feel you babygirl30, same here on my end. My so called childhood bestie of over 30 years dropped me so fast when I told her my decision to leave the org. Similarly, I have been the only one there for her through a lot when no one else was, including saving her from 2 abusive and controlling relationships. But that is all forgotten just because I don't share her beliefs anymore. And I'm not even df'd, just walked away. I'm at peace with it now though. I don't want anyone in my life who doesn't want to be.

JW Hypocrisy Rears It's Ugly Head...As Usual
by babygirl30 inso about last night.... i am out at a local club (not restaurant, not event venue - a club) to see a rap concert.
now, i am with some friends minding my own business, and i find that i am standing right behind 3 active jw's - one of whom used to be my best friend.
this girl is as fake as they come: 1) she used to live with me and would bring non-jw guys home all the time, 2) was living with a man when she lived down south - until he dumped her, and then she decided to go back to jw's the 1st time and got reproved, and i supported her.

Hello and welcome!! Your videos are great and I love your experiences. We too were born-in and fairly new out, a little under a year. We walked away, but are being shunned by our friends and some family. But we couldn't be happier to be out and fully enjoy our lives and know I our boys will be able to do the same. Congrats to you both. -

Pshycos! - 2016 "Remain Loyal to Jehovah" Regional Convention Program
by thedepressedsoul inwow this is interesting!
i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.
they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

Freddo - no chance this was someone trying to wake up. If I revealed to rest of the emails he sent me it would be obvious. Trust me.
shirleyW - yes, it was very obvious!! But I'm not into ducking and dodging questions. And I really don't have an issue letting people know I'm not going anymore if they ask. I just don't think they need every little detail. He asked, I let him know exactly what I wanted him to know and cut it off when he started to be disrespectful.

Harvard Illiterate 411. One of my younger 1st cousins.
Exactly ToesUp. I think it upset him when I said it wasn't a discussion. No discussion = no opportunity to convince/guilt me into going back.

You all know how much jws loooove to gossip. So...I just finished a email conversation with one of my self-righteous, super jw relatives back home. Let me preface this conversation by saying this relative is someone I don't communicate with, at all. I haven't talked to/seen him in over 10 years and it was very minimal before that. I have no idea who told him. I didn't ask, don't care.
1st emaIl: he says he didn't want to be "presumptuous" (yeah right) but heard that me and my family are no longer going to the hall and asked if were we ok. My takeaway - why do you care, we don't even communicate?! And why ask if we are ok? does something have to be wrong? Of course, I know why but it's still a "presumptuous" thing to ask.
My response: no, we are not going. We decided it wasn't for us anymore and we changed our minds. (Seems simple enough right? I was of course, wrong).
2nd email: he "presumptuously" tells me how much he knows me and that I couldn't possibly have decided this on my own after all Jehovah had done for me and asked who I had been talking to. My takeaway - the audacity of me to use my own brain and actually think!!! How presumptuous of me lol!
My final response: I told him this was not a discussion. We made this decision on our own and I told him I don't really understand why that is so hard for him to believe (actually, I know exactly what it was so hard for him). I then finished the conversation asking him to respect our decision and I wasn't going to discuss it any further.
conclusuon: did he respect my decision??🤔🤔 of course not!! But I don't feel all that well today (sinuses kicking my a$$) and have no more energy to give to this nonsense. I have 2 toddlers to chase around the house all day and in general, better things to spend my time on. so I didn't respond to his presumptuous, judgemental emails after that. let him wait for a response that's not coming. Ridiculous that they really think it's ok and their right to interrogate you on your life.
