Thanks again all. My wife is only very recently out and is still a bit nervous of getting'out there'. It's obviously easier to meet people if you've known them from your previous life. I can't see any definite contacts on those links but interesting to see a few fairly local places mentioned. We were never in the real thick of the ' celestial chariot', lol. More like hanging onto the back with our feet dragging in the dirt! We would know quite a few from Crawley area and perhaps Woking from years back. Do you know me Phizzy?

Thanks all! I don't want to cause issues for anyone. Just wondered if there was anyone out there who was 'out, out'!

Found out about my 'marking'.
by Oneoutallout inyesterday we met up with an old ex witness friend after four years.
it was great to drop all the barriers that have stopped us all meeting recently.
apparently, it turns out that i was marked as an apostate some time ago.

I know it sounds a bit weird but I think the elders did have a bit of sympathy for me. I was always a very obedient little JW!! Huey!! Ruuuuuuuth!!! Our elders were generally pretty descent chaps, albeit totally misguided etc etc. I find it really interesting how you all have had different experiences. I tended to believe the 'all congs united doing all things the same" scenario.

Thanks for your comments. It seems that if the info I have is accurate, for some reason things weren't handled in the expected way then. I thought it was odd. I was very vocal when I found out TTATT. Not that I went around blabbing to everyone I could, but to the elders and family that where trying to correct me. In the end it was my sister in law that felt something official should be done, so everyone knew where they stood, as far as shunning me was concerned. Not that it made a difference because it was her family that shunned us anyway. Others didn't.

Apparently, it turns out that I was marked as an apostate some time ago. The announcement was something along the lines of "brother ....... is marked. Choose to associate with him at your own risk!! I think they left it a bit open because I had so many witnesses relying on me for work. I was quite disappointed that I wasnt considered more dangerous!! Lol. I am still not disfellowshipped and haven't sent a letter in. I won't go to a JC if asked, or dissasociate myself, as I refuse to recognise the congregations authority. Although sometimes I think I would quite enjoy the challenge of a JC!!!

The eldaaaars again!!
by ILoveTTATT inafter two months of not coming to my house, today about two hours ago, one of the elders that came two months ago came to my house.
he was in serve-us with other brothers from the spanish cong and came into my house with a friend of mine (not another elder).
he said he wanted to talk to me, and he said it in front of my mom and my dad (both were there).. what was interesting is that it seems like it will be a one-on-one for half-hour.
