the caller inquired of mrs.chickennest if she was disfellowshipped?

the caller identified herself with a name we didn't recognize.

when my wife indicated that she was no longer a witness, the call was ended by the caller.

nelly136,

I agree. Taking the stance of a silent one may be best. It may be a protection to the caller since they are obviously reaching out to a person they should not be talking to according to the rules of JWism. The rules of JWism do not apply to us since Mrs.Chickennest and I are no longer practicing JWism. It's like ones still in the organization of JWism really end up shunning themselves by picking the scissors and cutting themselves out the picture. The JWism shunning policy then becomes a one way street leading back the practicing JW. Perhaps, one day the Society of JWism will see the error of their ways with the shunning policy, until then this particular incident is a kind of cat and mouse game.

owenfieldreams:

I think that everyone we have known from past days is surely well aware that we dropped our identification as JW's. We are not bitter minded apostates out trying to convert everyone we have ever known in the organization. We consider many of the people we left behind as life long friends and at the end of the day if there is God that is just and caring we will be on speaking terms again someday. I think the caller knew of our resignation from the witnesses before the call was placed-just a guess of course.

Aude:

Our caller ID said it was a "wireless" number.

At this point we have no desire to return the call for more information. We just wonder if we are being checked on for some reason.

Awkward Ex-Dub Moment

it's like that candy bar commercial.

the loud crunching blocks out what the person is saying as you think about the situation.

after my daughter's graduation, people flocked out to the exits and into the halls of the stadium.

I always greet the witnesses anywhere they happen to be. As Hortensia said we are not witnesses anymore so we don't have to play their games. If I see them in our small town witnessing I always wave.

I am sure they are scared to come to this town anyway, where the well known apostates live! I am just trying to remove some of the tension.

by JimmyPage in

i know there are a lot of atheists here, but for those who still believe in god- what do you think of joyce meyer?

from the few times i've seen her i enjoy her sense of humor while preaching.

she seems very down to earth and easy to relate to..

She's cool. Although, I don't care for her commercials at the end of her program hawking her books, etc.

a couple of days ago, i posted a comment for a newbie like me (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/145459/2623555/post.ashx#2623555), and i told him this:.

i try to focus in the few positive aspects of being a jw, and how that can help me to improve myself.

i like to help people too, and that is something that i really enjoy.

I met my lovely wife at the congregation home book study about 30 years ago. From that came our precious daughter.

Hobbies post Witness-still feel guilty about the time and expense involved?

by Thechickennest in

17 years ago

my dear wife says she has a hard time investing time and money towards hobbies.

my wife was born in to the organization.

she says she still has a difficult time not feeling guilty about activities that would take one away from the preaching work, even though she has made her exit from the organization a long time ago.

In my opinion it is just another area that the JW organization ruins people for life with its indoctrinations.
