can someone provide me some insight or past experience with the pros and cons to disassociating oneself versus getting disfellowshipped?
besides the obvious of not having to deal with the lynch squad.
thanks for you comments.
i only got DA'd but it didnt seem to make a difference, only one nice elder still says hi to me when i bump into him and thats the only one so far, even my aunty, uncle and 2 cousins cross the street when they see me coming
i was never baptised and was brought up from birth, you'd think id get a bit of leeway for that surely!

i've been posting here for a few months now but i suddenly realized that i don't say a whole lot.
so i thought i would tell you all a little about myself.. i was born in a little village on the base of the andes mountains called urumbamba in peru.
my father, a local witch doctor left my mother when i was born because he thought my mother had given birth to the devil.
now this is the sort of story i like to hear!!!

surfing around and i came across an interesting site that explains all those little "buzz words" that we love to hate....an example.... in the truth .
the state of being a dedicated, baptized servant of jehovah.
<<how long have you been in the truth?>> <<i have no fleshly relatives who are in the truth.>> (see also {truth}.
i remember the last days being 'just around the corner' for the first 17 years of my life
my brother is very honest with me and when i asked him (12 years later) if it was straight in front of them yet, he said 'no, its still just around the corner', even he wasnt happy with this explaination

how do you feel?
does the society owe us for misleading us or do we just blame ourselves?.
imagine we were sold a pension plan that guaranteed us a certain return.
being born into it i think they owe me a lot:
=missed celebrations (b/days etc) - nothing wrong with a good piss up is there!
=the loss of my sanity - i think i wouldnt have so many depression problems if i was like every other kid at school
=the loss of my mother - she wouldnt have taken her own life if the society were'nt there to say 'you cant leave your husband' (she did leave for a few months and took us kids with her only to feel real guilty by witness friends bugging her to go back to my dad)
and thats just a couple - of course they owe me something, they owe me a decent life and a decent upbringing which is one thing i most certainly have not had

thanks makena1
i can't believe it but the first thursday of feb marked one full year of freedom for me and my children.. that thursday was the last meeting i ever attended.. we have never looked back and time has just gotten away from me because we are enjoying new experiences and trying to get used to this new life.
i wonder what i should do to celebrate?.
any suggestions?.
congratulations!!!
you're right, the response of your children does show that they are truly out, celebrate for them cos being with the witnesses wont be remembered by them kids for much longer and thats good, they dont need that sort of thing dragging them down all their lives
