Hippikon,
Raised in Sydney, but left for the North Coast when I was nineteen - 31 years ago. I still have family in Sydney and go there every now and again. Have there ever been Apostofests in Sydney?

i always find delight in greeting any of the jw's from my area with - "hello brother (or sister) so-and-so, and how in the devil are you?
" no response, i usually try to follow up with - "i see that you are still suffering from watchtower induced self-righteous hypocrisy.".
there is always much pleasure to be had by coming up behind them in a supermarket for example, and giving them the hello brother treatment.
Prisca,
First of all, I apologise for not replying to the greeting you sent me via the site email, but I am unable to send a message for whatever reason. In anycase, a big hello to you as well.
I read with interest your statement revealing that you have not been DF'd, and neither have you DA'd, so technically you are still a dub and the witnesses should not avoid you.
Believe me, you a marked person, maybe not with the mark of the beast, but you could rest assured they have you marked as bad association. And as much as you feel some are still friendly towards you, you could also bet your last dollar that there are others just waiting for you to make a slip-up and to receive some sort of reproof (I am amazed that I can still remember some of the jo ho lingo).
Quite a few years passed from the time I relinquished all KH responsiblities, became inactive and stopped attending meetings before I realised that 'hey, I'm treated like a piece of dog shit, but some of the brothers sometimes speak to me with hope in their voice that I might come back, so why don't I settle the issue, enjoy the benefits of being DA'd, and let them know where I stand". So I met with a couple of the elder men and let them understand in no uncertain terms that I was out - officially.
Apart from wishing I had never become a JW, my other wish is that I had left them sooner.
My wife, ( I hope this doesn't cruel things between you and me ) although she became inactive when I did, and we share the same contempt for the org and the vast majority of the dubs, she has not disassociated (most likely for fear of displeasing her gut-wrenchingly-insipid-poor-excuse-for-a-human-being father), and yet, she too, has the shunning crap to deal with in her life. No doubt she is marked a bad associate.
Consider DAing and letting the bastards know beyond doubt where you stand.
cheeses will always care for you.
my old best friend had to return my dvd to me from six months ago... she lost it, so she paid me back.
it was an interesting situation, because i had been speaking to her up until the beginning of april, when if you remember i posted asking for advice on what to do about it.
i was too weirded out talking to her, so i decided to tell her to shun me.
NaruNaruChan,
I'm not at all sure what your story is here, but I couldn't let your topic go unanswered and I am certain that other members will be able to offer some advice.
See - cheeses does care.
while people w faith generally feel superior to people without, their faith requires them to disbelieve much, as well.
for instance: .
1. the total lack of provable existence of a bible god leads to the conclusion that there is not a bible god.
SaintSatan,
I hope you are not using my name in vain?
cheeses is watching.
Do you really believe a joke could be made of such a serious subject?
cheeses was there (but only emblematically -is there such a word? - or is it just further evidence of cheeses' creative ability?)
welcome jill!
i hope you enjoy the board and you meet many new friends here.
are you in bedford, texas by chance?
Don't know who you are Jill, but if it is good enough to receive a welcome from Big Tex and Valis the DO, then -
Welcome, welcome, welcome
To The House of Apostasy!

Hello DantheMan,
I am new here and have never posted under another ID - a question I haven't previously been asked. Nice to know you care.
Funny? I would much prefer to be recognised as indifferent, sacrilegious, irreverent, anti-social, apathetic, anti-religious, wicked, evil, ...and I could go on.....BUT, still one helluva god fearing guy.
cheeses gets confused at times.
.
at what age would a person have to be to join the witnesses and not suffer too much?.
if they are children, it robs their youth.. if they join in the teens, they won't get a decent education.. if they join at 20 years old, they will have to marry a witness.. if they join at 30, i guess that would be less destructive because they already are married, have children, have a house, an education and a job.. at what age did you join, and how did it affect you?
I was predestined before birth.
Rejoice at the revelation of cheeses.
