Welcome prgirl! You're right when you say, he will have to figure this out for himself. The j.w's are SO brainwashed, it's not even funny. You're also right about the shunning. It is SO WRONG. It's emotional blackmail. My j.w. family shun me also. My anger towards them has now changed into pity. The whole j.w. situation is so toxic. Stay clear!!! Sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders! I wish the best for you and your friend and again, welcome.

You're probably right Sassy. I hope she questions herself period.....not for my sake, but for her own.
I saw her in her front yard yesterday while I was walking. I simply didn't look her way. After her girls reaction to me, I feel it best if I just ignore the whole situation all together. I feel sorry for her, and anyone else that is still brain washed in that cult. So sad and her loss.

So true guys! I'm still the same person that she met months ago. When I saw her two daughters, I spoke, even though they didn't. Maybe they will at least question the fact that I'm not a bad person. *even though I don't love Jehover*

She knew you weren't a JW before.
You know crink, I thought the very same thing! What in the world was she thinking, hanging around a *worldly* person anyway!
I will be working at the same school that her non-j.w. husband will be at, I will make it a point to be as nice as I can be! I remember her girls speaking up once and saying *daddy's NEVER home* Now I see why! I don't see how they can be happy. My dad wasn't a j.w. and he and my mom were never really happy together. How could you be, ya know.

Thanks Sassy, I'm okay though. I had to tell her though, our friendship was growing and I had to be honest with her. Also, to be honest with ya, after hearing she was a witness, I actually wanted to shun her! I don't want to be around a witness, ever! They can shun me all they want, I just shun them right back!

I was careful what I said to her. I was honest, but not ugly. Her husband *not a j.w.* is a principal at the local highschool and has helped me get a job subbing, so I didn't want to make waves. I'm learning to pick my battles and she's not one of them. After she left, after talking to her, or I should say, listening to her j.w bullcrap, I was sick to my stomach. I can't stand to listen to them talk, I literally cringe. I still can't believe she was a witness!!! lol I'm glad I can have a sense of humor about the whole thing.
I do appreciate all the input.

As most of you know, CC and I moved here, two hours away from my home town so we wouldn't have to run into J.W.'s and J.W. family. I've been walking in the neighborhood, been trying to lose weight. While walking, I became friends with a girl in the neighborhood. We really hit it off! Her two young daughters just seem to love me too. I was really excited to make a new friend since I'm kinda new to the area and don't have that many friends here. Last week she was here visiting, everything was going along nicely, then I asked her youngest daughter if she had a new Easter dress picked out! She turned her eyes over at her mother with this look as if to say *that is bad*. I got a sick feeling and thought to myself, *no way that they are witnessess!* What are the chances, right???? Well a few minutes later, I asked her where she went to church, and guess what???? You're right, she's a freaking j.w.!!!!! I swear, I thought I would fall out of my chair! Been one for 12 years!!! Long story short, I told her that CC and I had disassociated ourselves. She did her j.w. preaching, the end is coming, bla bla bla, pretty much told me that she couldn't associate with me and left. Later that week, I saw her two girls while I was doing my walk and they took off and ran the other way. You would have thought they saw a child molester! So dissapointing and frustrating. Can you believe this!!!
You never know where they'll pop up! And just when you think it's safe to go outside!!!
