this is classic damned if you do, damned if you dont.. the choice is.
1. be a hypocrite.
i just came to the realization that those of us still in and who know ttatt have only 2choices.
BU2B,
Very frustrating indeed. This is what Cedars was lobbying about and trying to not get DF'd, but him and his wife are DA'd not much different although at a local level they have some contact with his wifes family for necessary business. Aparantly relationships with Cedars family are strained atm.
Deffo dammed if you do or don't, their game their rules.

at the international convention here i just got off the elevator with anthony morris.
he was heading to the basement and i was heading up to administration.
i rode one floor down with him before i went up to my destination.
If I was in a lift with him, I would ask him how he feels Holy Spirit guiding him. I ask that to all Christians I meet, JWs or not. I get a bunch of different responses, very interesting in fact. The best I got was when an elder said.........
"I know Holy Spirit is guiding me when I read the bible and follow it" - Bro NiceButDim
What nonsense, the bible says nothing about KateWild's repentant heart. Dumb bleeps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

question: can any of you that have successfully faded out of the jw world without being df'd or da'd relate to me/us how you were able to maintain at least one or a few of your "still in" friends or family?
(and even if you were df'd or da'd and still maintained some relationships, how did that go?).
obviously, the truly demented, sick and twisted (and highly effective) policies and structure of the wtbt$ to set up a system by which anyone that chooses to no longer believe or participate must be treated as "mentally diseased" and a pariah by their own friends and family is the hands down, numero uno reason why many hundreds of thousands and possibly millions of jw's do not leave.
My daughter faded and only has has JW friends that have left too......but they keep going back like yoyo's so when they do.......friendships are strained. I am Df'd and have maintained friendships. How does that work eh?
Leaving WT is making a new life........some friendships are JWNers like me xx

the dreaded phrase i will never miss!!!.
some of the ones i had to hear ,.
we cant go over grandmas... till after the meeting.
Hey sowhatnow welcome to JWN....funny thread. Kate xx
the first subheading talks about families.
personally i don't think it represents our family and the wt have covered up my ex's transgressions and he remains a jw.
he violently abused us, he divorced me unscripturally, he continues to take us to court and my son wants nothing to do with him or wt.. i am df'd for trying to expose this.
ok fair do's...........boring thread lol xx

I think some brothers are really good husbands and are genuinely trying to apply good morals in their lives. Do you? Kate xx

This section has not been applied in my husbands case and the elders know he is doing things unscripturally. In as far as the elders treating us tenderly, that hasn't seemed to have happened in my view as the victims we have been punished.
What about your experience? Do you think this study reflects JWs in a true light?
