Yeah my fiance, Mike, he has done the same thing....twice! I mean, he is pretty knowledgable for not even being a witness because of my constant complaining. :) But I was very surprised with things he picked up on...like, hey he really WAS paying attention to me. Of course he is very smart and opinionated, and very good at debate...So when JWs came to the door and got Mike, he debated evolution, disfellowshipping, blood transfusions and molestation with them and kicked their ass. Even debating their bible translation. I was just hiding behind the door listening in and trying not to giggle.

So anyway, I was talking to the wife, Marie, yesterday and the topic of religion came up and she had mentioned that a couple of JWs came to their door recently. Apparently, Max answered and REALLY REAMED THEM OUT. hehe! He had mentioned to them that he knows someone and her whole family shunns her because of their stupid religion and he would never join a religion like that.
Go Max! -

I was living at home...I had to. As a teenager, I just thought to myself to wait till I have a car and a job and stuff. And I did. Occassionally getting in trouble and all... Now that I think back I might have been able to get out earlier but oh boy that would have sucked.

DA-ing Announcement in the Society's New Book
by Mark inthe society's new book 'organized to do jehovah's will', to be released in the congregations .
on the 20th of march, introduces a change in the df and da announcements.
announcements will read the same: "[name of person] is no longer one of jehovah's .

There is some great information here. Unfortunately, I think anyone hearing the announcement will not think to make a distinction whether the person was disfellowshipped or dissasociated, or whether they are baptized in the first place. They will just shun. You see, I was never baptised, and when I asked my mom who can I be shunned when I never made the conscious choice to even become a Jehovahs Witness? To her the answer was easy (because they asked elders), I was to be shunned because I was like a witness since I knew the teachings and knew the "truth".
So good luck with that. -

For those that remember what I posted about my sister...I was really worried for her after a bit. This "new" guy (twice her age) moves quickly into her life and she finds herself taking care of him. She wanted him to fly back to England because it became obvious to her that he was insane but he kept threatening to kill himself. He would lock himself in the bathroom and cut himself. Finally she convinced him to go home. My family worked on her a bit with my help to try and get her to accept therapy, it was obvious to us that she was acting out because of depression. She had also been molested when she was a child (and parents did not know till now) and that her feelings manifested itself in this way.
She finally accepted this and decided to stay with my parents so they could help her. The great thing is, is that they had kept religion out of this and worried only about my sisters mental health, and the safety of the children. My parents had also taken in J (the husband) and their two kids and tried very hard to keep them all happy. My father is getting therapy too because of the guilt he feels about my sister getting molested (by our half-brother, our fathers son).
The very unexpected thing though, is that my family is associating with me again and have told me time and again how valuable I was in helping and supporting them. Even my oldest sister who was most veheminent about not talking to me, called me and emailed me and we had some pleasent conversation back and forth. I figured this would all end once my sister was back and staying with my parents, but instead everyone has continued to be very nice to me. I have even had several really great conversations with my brother-in-law who I tried to be very encouraging to (once I got the complete story) and now we are back to having a good relationship.
My sister and her husband are now back to living in the same house but they are going at things slowly...basically getting to be friends again (going on dates too). Seems like things will be difficult but will get better. They even incited Mike and I out for dinner this weekend which was totally not expected but I am looking foward to it. And it also seems like my family has gained a lot of respect and trust for Mike, my fiance, and our relationship because of this whole ordeal. This whole ordeal has also really made me examine my own life and relationships. As a family, we all feel closer.
The only thing left...is to wait to see if my sisters JC (yeah thats right, the elders want to talk to her) goes fine. My parents have said that if she is disfellowshipped...they will continue to support her. My parents may be JWs all the way, but this whole things has taught them a lot of compassion and understanding. I do not think she will be df'd though because the elders in my parents cong. turned out to be very understanding (rare, indeed), but they are truly a nice little bunch so time will tell...
