Welcome. That's a real dilemma, do you wonder if your relationship would change again once you are reinstated, maybe just now they are showing an interest but will they continue to? Only you know your family from your perspective, but as already said, you need to be true to yourself.

Not A Captive got Humbled
by humbled ini'm sure the more discerning of you thought that the silly, green, wooly-headed avatar called "humbled" that strolled on the scene here looked familiar....... it is i, nac, with a new given name come back for a visit since i have internet for a while.
i have missed you these three years.
i've been in a far away land--the ozark mountains of nw arkansas.. because i've been blessed with anal canal cancer (nothing so hum-drum as rectal cancer) circumstances allow me to share your company 'til my sad bum can get radiated more-or-less back into shape.. any quality potty-humor (no naughty bm's---oops!---.

Welcome back, I found this online:
A little boy goes up to his dad and says “Dad, where does poo come from?”
Dad explains that food enters the mouth and passes down the oesophagus to the stomach. There, digestive enzymes induce a probiotic reaction in the alimentary canal to extract protein before waste products descend via the colon and rectum to emerge as “poo”.
“F*ck me!” says the little boy “Where does Tigger come from then?”
It sounds like you are staying positive, hope all goes well.

My husband MISSED the meeting today! Unheard of!
by Julia Orwell inhe decided to take me somewhere nice in the country for a day instead, and when he suggested it last night i was amazed that he would have even thought of missing the meeting!
he was one of those guys who only missed a meeting, literally, if he had a spinal injury and couldn't move!.
but, i've been sharing a little of the ttatt with him, teensy tiny bits that i can substantiate from the bible or other reputable sources.

Hopefully he is starting to think for himself, I hope you had a lovely day together. He needs love story this time, show him you care about what is going on in his head and will be there to help. I hope he gets the job too.

Question about talking to JW
by darklight ini was raised atheist and never believed in any religion.
i've been studying the watchtower religion with a younger jw couple for some months now.. my main motivation was the fact i knew nothing about christianity, they knocked on my door and offered their "bible" study... so why not learn something, i thought.. .
and yeah, this is one crazy cult.... .

Whatever you ask they will always go the WTS route. You might be able to say you've been doing additional research and wonder why for example the name they use for their god was from the interpretation of a Spanish monk in 1270, or something similar.

Do You Believe In ANYTHING That The Witnesses Taught At This Point In Your Life?
by minimus infor example, they pride themselves in what they don't believe such as immortal souls, the trinity, hellfire, etc.. some exjws still believe it is the "truth" and support the basics.. .

Common sense stuff such as honour your parents, pay your taxes, nothing doctrinal.

They sometimes come to my office, I've now prepped my staff to ask them ”if a member of your family leaves, will you shun them?" I'm curious to know how that goes. My office is in a different congs territory to where I went, though I'd still be recognised if I was in reception.

Welcome, a great intro. It is amazing how the busier we were in the north, the more blinded we became, until the suppression no longer had the same effect

Fascinating story, very sad how you were screwed at every turn. I'm so pleased you've made a new life for yourself. Try not to become bitter about the past. I wish you all the best.
