  just got an email from a jw friend

  hi guys, so i got an email form an old jw friend that i haven't seen in a long time , i moved away to another state a few years ago.

  so she sent me an email to tell me that she found out that i had left "jehovahs organization" and that she has been crying for weeks because she always looked up to me ( i was always that kid that pioneered & always had demonstrations and experiences in the district and circuit assemblies) she said that she's not judging me but that she cant believe i would do that , that i know better and that there is no reason ever to leave and hopes that we wake up before its to late..... i have to respond but i know she wont hear ttatt there deep in, so any suggestions would be appreciated on what to respond.. ( im so heart broken and tiered at this point.

  i know she is doing it out of love, she's actually the only person that has contacted me, not even my family has done that.

  I feel for you because that is the exact same thing we've been going through. I know you want to try and explain it to her, but she really won't listen or understand. Just before I stopped going to meetings I called my long time childhood friend and just put a few feelers out there to test her out and she was so mind frelled by the WT, it was so sad.

  I know its hard because you want to try and still be friends with the person but as long as WT is there, there can ever really be a true friendship there. I learned that the hard way with another friend of mine who is actually my cousin, I hated to hurt her, but I had to cut all ties because I knew she just wouldn't understand. Plus when she finds out I'm an apostate she would have done the same thing to me.

  Maybe what you can do is write e response but don't send it right away.

  Peace.

  I have a BIG decision to make.......

  sorry for the previous post..... i fat fingered and can't figure out how to delete it.... .

  i want a tattoo, but i want it to make a statement.

  and that statement is that i think the jw's are a cult and bad in all ways.

  I know people are saying not to tattoo anything on you, you'll regret or change your mind about..the nice thing is you can always get the tattoo covered up later on with something else if you begin to not like it.

  Like NE said I just got mine done about 6 weeks ago I think it was, and I love it! I got cherry blossoms to represent my new life because the cheery blossoms are the first sign of spring.

  The one thing I would suggest is take a good month or two to decide what you want and to design it how you want. With my first tattoo it took me two months to just figure out where to put it and what to get, I'm so glad I took my time.

  I'm already planning my next one to get on my wedding anniversary in September. The longer I'm waiting the design of that tattoo is getting better each day.

  So that is my only suggest with your tattoo(s), make it perfect!!!!!!

  There were some awesome idea's I love the flying spaghetti monster one and I love the idea of Sparklock.....

  You could have Sparlock destorying WT tattooed on you OR, have Sparlock holding up a sign with the WT logo with the red line through it.

  Thank you. I'm happy at least a few people have read it. I honestly didn't think anyone would read it. Thank you!

  I certainly don't claim to be an expert, but all of us everyday interact with people and we see and understand body language without realizing it, and all we really need to do is just start paying attention.

  To outofthelionsden and whathappened: Those are perfect examples! Because they are your family you are very familiar with their normal body language, so we are able to see how they react. The sad reality is that even though we tell our friends and family TTATT, we still have to break though the mind-control, and just like my family who are shunning me, some of them could see TTATT, but they still choice to stay in.

  Thank you for sharing those experiences!

  i have been reading post on this forum for many months and i wanted to thank you all for all the great posts and comments that have really helped me get through this hard year of fading.

  my husband and i where born in jdubs and almost 1 year ago we started to fade , now that we think about it has been a few years that we were suffering from cognitive dissonance without knowing it.

  we feel that finally we have our life back , a life that is just starting.

  Welcome outofthelionsden!

  My heart goes out to you and your family. Your story of your family shunning you is almost exactly like mine. I haven't been df'ed or written a DA letter, but just because I just stopped going to the meetings. My parents had started to express doubts about the JW's and our family called them apostates and shunned them, then because we were "close" with my parents we got condemned as apostates although we had just stopped going.

  I know it's hard, but as time goes by it will get better, the hurt will still be there, but you will just beginning to accept it.

  Peace and love to you and your family.

  Quick update on sharing TTATT with my friend

  by Gojira_101 in

  yesterday morning i got a message from my friend, the one i shared ttatt with last week and she wanted to meet for coffee.

  this is the story/friend i'm referring to http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/251494/1/ha-take-that-watchtower-one-less-borg-for-you.. i was really nervous because since our initial visit she had told me that two of her other jw friends wanted to talk to me.

  after a little more prodding she admitted that her friends didn't accept what their own wt said about god's name and they wanted to talk to me to "bring me back to the truth.".

  problemaddict: Yes on my first post there was a person who said I handled this whole thing badly....Oh well, it couldn't have been that bad if my friend still wants to see more stuff from WT.

  Since I know my friend very well, I know what will work with her. She is one who can see contradictions very clearly...she has told me several times when I show her WT article that contradict each other, that if this is "truth" it will not change. So that is my approach with her, showing her the contradictions. Lets face it, WT is full of contradictions!

  The blood issue and organ transplants is what she wants to see next. So that is part of the literature I will show her next week.

  She is the one who brought up the images....so I'm simply just showing her and letting her come to her own conclusions, nothing more nothing less. If she can see them and this helps her leave WT, then who am I to tell her she is wrong. I'm only helping her along her journey and providing her with what she is asking for.

  Mr. Flipper: Thank you. My parents told me about the nice conversation they had with you. I hope one day we all can meet in person.

  I learned real quick about some of the people on this forum. Once I realize who those people are, I don't bother replying to them anymore. I'm not losing any sleep over the negative comments :)

  I'm just trying my best with my friend. She has been txt'ing me everyday and she just asked me yesterday if I would be willing to talk to another friend of hers who studied with the JW's years ago, but never baptized and now she wants to know TTATT. I actually agreed to talk with this friend of hers because she is thinking of starting to study again with the JW's. I just find it so funny that this person now whats to know about the JW's before she studies again. We will see now what happens with this :)
