thought id thank you all for your help since i left, i think that there are so many of us that you have all helped and never hear from.. all of my family are still in the org and i could not have gotten through the initial couple of years of leaving without the support that i have found here, even if it did not involve direct communication with you all.. thank you!

What could I say?

by pennycandy in

let's say you go back to your hometown for a family funeral.

you're not df'd or da'd, but most haven't heard from you for many years.

you know you'll get the inevitable "so are you going to meetings?

When I was at the stage of being afraid of being honest (or, perhaps a better way to phrase it, when I worried what the Dubs thought of me), I would respond with something like, "At this time I am not attending the meetings".
But, if you are at a funeral or something, a practical thing to say would be, "I am here to memorialize my loved one (the decedant). I really don't want to discuss anything else at this time. Let's focus on what a wonderful person so-and-so was".

"keep doing this in remembrance of me"

by totalee in

i have re-posted this thread on the advice of another site member.

why is it ok to celebrate a wedding anniversary but not a birthday?

i can understand christmas, easter, halloween and valentines day but birthdays, thanksgiving, mother's day and father's day don't have religious or murderous origins.

Hi, totalee.

Welcome to the Forum. I am also in Pennsylvania.

Just be honest.
Tell them, "No, I don't attend meetings anymore. And, I am the happiest that I have ever been". (If that is true).

what would they do if ...

jw
friends

a bunch of da'd ppl showed up for the meeting?

would they talk to us?

welcome us to the house of jehovah or kick us out?

The elders would call for an emergency meeting to discuss their plan of action. They would notify all of the Attendant's to be on the lookout. The elders themselves would also work as Attendants, watching every move of the DA'd folks.

How do I know? Because it happened at my old congregation. I was an Attendant, but, I was also mentally out of the religion. I was an Undercover Brother...LOL!

Anyway, the P.O. was most concerned because the child of one of the DA'd had recently accused him of child molestation.

I was able to see all of the numbers.
