  Hey guys it's me again!!!

  I know it been a awhile since I last came on, but here's what happened when I arrived at my parents home after 18 months of not associating with each other. Well things went ok, it was great to see them in a normal way. We hugged and they seemed really enthusiastic to see me. Started to feel a little suspicious though, but I soon left the dodgy feelings to one side and decided to give it a try.

  We talked and talked for ages, they asked how I was doing and I said I had a few rough patches here and there, but on the whole, I was ok. I asked them why they suddenly wanted me over for dinner? Well they kind of looked at each other and then told me they were sorry why they shunned me. They said they were hurt on the way I left, and they didnt understand why?

  I guess I should have been honest with them...completely. They asked me if I atleast still believed in God, and I said that I never in my life ever had a chance to think otherwise and that I wanted to figure out my own life and not have others decide that for me. They understood that point, and I told them that I would respect there beliefs as long as they respected mine. Anyway we kept on talking and talking, I asked them how everyone in the congregation was, just to be polite mainly.

  Then they started to tell me that wild rumours began to fly about me in the congregation, such as I was dealing drugs and going to brothels and blah blah blah. I just laughed and then thought "How dare they?!?!?!". My parents saw the stupidity in these accusations, and they saw how some brothers and sisters that I have known all my life were spreading them. They told me that while this was going on, some of the brothers have even stopped associating with them, and now nobody in the congregation invites them out to a get together. I told I was sorry that these things were happening to them, but I couldn't stop it either. Thats something my parents will eventually figure out on their own.

  Anyway at the end we sat down and started to tell old stories and I'm finally getting to know my parents....really know them. Before everything had the JW angle to it. I'd say something and they would say something to educate me or make me feel guilty. It feels like at the beginning of my relationship with my family.....it's great and exciting

  Anyway thats it for now...thanx for listening

  Love Boolean

  Holy Moly guys!!!!! I never thought that I'd get so much response, it must of been an omen of some sort. I say this because, you'll never guess what happened, I got my family back!!!!!!!

  Yep its true, they want me to hang around them, but I told them the condition of no bible bashing and they're cool with it. I love them soooooooooo much, I still cant believe it. I dunno why they took my DF as such a great tragedy, maybe its because I have 2 other brothers who never got baptised or even became publishers, and I was there last chance.

  Well anyway they've invited me over for dinner tommorow night, and I'll keep you posted on the details, cant wait. Its been 12 months since Ive last met with them in an normal manner.

  PS, Many thanx to everyone for the loving supportive advice...shera,Brummie,Razorblade,Aztec, Jayson and everyone else....thankyou again.

  Thanx for the advice guys....The story of mine is pretty much the same as anyone else that has left the cong. In my case it was due to absolutely being indiffrent and complacent towards the whole "truth" thing. You see for my parents and other people that werent born into it, the"truth" was this shiny new toy that made them really happy, and it still does today.

  But for me it wasnt like that, my main concern was to keep everybody happy. There were times that I did feel great about being a JW...honest. But soon I just I didnt feel anything for it. The rules kept on getting more rigid and unrealistic as the years rolled on...dont you agree?

  I remember a month before I was disfellowshipped, I had this "light bulb" moment. I was standing infront outside the Kingdon Hall, after the meeting, by myself. And I looked up at the brightly lit sign "Kingdom Hall Of Jehovahs Witnesses", and I then it occurred to me. What the hell am I doing here !!!!????!!!!!!

  So the next week I went to an elder, told him some bullshit of me smoking and sleeping around. Told them I didnt care anymore, and hey presto Im DF. But I do regret lying about what I said I did, I should have just DA myself. But these things are never carefully planned, I wish.

  with some interesting changes in jw land ....... - subscriptions only allowed through kingdim hall.

  - internet is more so taboo.

  - the watchtower site, has no history files or unable to read magazines on line, it seems that they will not be using the internet as a tool for preaching.. - new comers into the religion, can sheck out everything on the internet before they get too involved.. so, how will the watchtower be able to increase the numbers (followers) ????????.
