Okay
So I'm not dating a JW but I have been in a relationship with a guy who has been disfellowshipped. We generally have a fantastic relationship and he is truly wonderful BUT I don't know a lot about the religion or his situation regarding being DF.
He HAS told me he was suspended 3-4 times in the last 10 years and then 4 years ago they said he couldn't not be accepted back into the religion because they didn't believe he truly wanted to be a part of it. Does this happen?
How deep does his belief in this religion go? He is obsessed with death - he strongly believes in the apocolypse & speaks of those in the religion knowing "the truth".
After being DF do ppl still believe what they were taught? Someone in the forum spoke of "losing their family if DF" my BF cannot attend meetings etc and his family were very unhappy when he did get kicked out - now he may not be able to attend his sisters upcoming wedding but is it true he has "lost his family?"
I'm confused - we had a big argument where I made a few comments regarding the religion that cut deep - I asssumed that because he was no longer a part of it he would not be upset with my views.
This is the first time I've voiced my strong opions against the JW religion and the first time I've seen any real emotion from him regarding this.
Does everyone agree the belief system following being DF is just as strong as before? If so do you think its possible those who have been want to be accepted back?
