After doing alot of Soul searching and really doing some reading. ...
I do not want to Shun those who love me unconditionally. I do not want to treat people bad because they think another way. That is not who I am.
I am so angry with myself
Brooke

I hear you Brooke. I felt the same way. Although I left because of doctrine issues, this issue that you mention ATE at my VERY SOUL. I found myself shunning family and childhood friends. It killed me as my friends became DF'd that I was left with the option of hating them or still being their friends but then "hurting Jehovah". What a thinned skinned little bitch the WTS god can be.

I, like you, found after deep soul searching that shunning was not in my make-up. It was evil and weighing me down to the point where i could no longer operate. Once I realized that shunning WAS NOT who I WAS, rather, it was a by-product of me trying to "do-more" and be a good JW, I felt relief!

The guilt was finally lifted as I made my rounds to all of the people, family, & friends that i treated like complete shat and asked for their forgiveness. It filled me with hope, joy and love as I confessed my faults to them and asked for forgiveness. It was the frosting on the cake that all of them, without hesitation, granted me the peace I asked for.

I hope you have now found such peace as well.

Matt Hedgecock

Eric Gomez

Jason Clay

Matt, owns a house in downtown Rockford. Still going last i heard, but that was 5 years ago. Matt is a real cool guy.

Eric was reinstated, again, that was 5 years ago

Jason & Gina are married [i forget Gina's last name] 2 great people

Rachel, Jason's sister just got married about a month ago. Don't know the guy, but she's a sweetheart.

Amanda...jeezuz, i feel bad for forgetting her last name, dropped dead instantly in her parents garage while talking to her father. Heart defect from birth. Great personality, quick witted. It was surreal going to her funeral. I remember being pretty pissed off at the talk, not a damn thing mentioned about her, just another JW public talk

I like the whole group. Had alot of fun with them, before I turned back around into a self-rightous JW prick.

I'll be damned if we didn't cross paths at some point. Same age in a neighboring congregation right around the time we graduated, pretty likely that we ran into each I'd say.
