I attended the IC in Melb for pretty much the same reasons. Have been inactive for quite a few years and haven't set foot in a KH since the memorial 2 years ago. But all our relatives were coming to Melb for the IC & a huge family reunion, so I thought I would make an appearance. I also saw friends I haven't seen in years who made the trip to Melb which was good. Deep down inside I know I may never see them again as most don't realise I am still inactive. So far I have managed to fade successfully & avoid being d'fed. I did try to throw in the occasional comment to make them think critically - I saw for the first time the look of confusion on their face. Yep, they are well & truly brainwashed... Very tragic indeed...

CO's visit ends with a bombshell!!!
by nowwhat? inat the end of his final talk he said of the gb: they are telling the higher ups , "start getting ready we're not going to be around much longer!
" and we expect the angels to release the four winds any day now!

Smiling at a Disfellowshipped JW instead of Completely Ignoring him
by ProfCNJ ini was driving our car going to our assigned territory for our sunday field minsitry (was with jw 2 sisters) when i saw a disfellowshipped jw riding his motorcycle heading towards us.
the guy was df'd around 2 months ago only (won't delve much on his case).
approximately about 10 meters, we saw him smile.

I always said a hello or smiled to any d'fed ones I knew and never removed any d'fed friends frm fb when I was active. I could never understand back then why we treated d'fed ones so cruelly when we were supposed to be such a loving religion. I also recently connected with my d'fed sister. I never shunned her but it's amazing how talking about TTAT can bring u closer together. My hairdresser is also d'fed - it's amazing how many jw's still go to her...
