To me, the reality is that there is no such thing as a successful escape, its just playing for the tie, or to minimize the loss.-elderNewton
Sadly I agree, but at least if you exit your way, you did not submit to WT rules

well another big bad elder here just wanting to say sorry.. i'm sorry that so many were treated like crap, and shown that god's love is not to be found around jehovah's witnesses.
i'm sorry that inadvertently i've likely taught many to judge and as such see that racism permeates every corner of the jw world, else why else would someone be of the world, or even inactive.
i'm sorry i sat in on a jc, and voted to df.

hi guys,.
i might go to the meeting.
i stopped going in my heart properly in nov 2013, but i went to a couple of meetings to support a love one that was df'd and tried to teach them a little ttatt.. now another df'd loved one is coming to see me today and will likely encourage me to try and get ri'd, and i want to support her.
I say stick to your guns and your own hard won principles and standards, if you can, stay away.- Slidin Fast
Yes that seems the consensus of the thread so far

If you want to attend a few meetings to support and help a loved one I find that very kind.- C
Thank you for giving an alternative perspective. I am doing it out of love and kindness

Don't do it at the meeting. Get her to come and see you at home instead.-K99
She is coming over late afternoon for a meal today............I just want her to keep coming so I can support her. I do see what you're saying though, and understand why you feel so strongly about someone already out.

You're a genuine gal. You don't belong in a fake world.-splash

I believe that is the sole reason you are considering going back to the KH. And I believe by asking you are trying to get us to talk you out of it. The more we rationalize the less rational we are.- DJS
Actually that's not the case at all, I am dating someone now and he took me out for the day to another city last Sunday, it was an amazing date and I wouldn't miss seeing him and doing that to go to a meeting, so I don't intent on going back regularly anyway.
Plus I play netball on the night of the service meetings so I won't miss netball either. I was just thinking of the sporadic Sunday.............but I can see your perspective too.

I believe yu have already decided.-Punky
Not entirely.........I might not go........or just go to one to get the gossip mills going. I am really looking for feedback. I know my daughter won't want me to go. But I would love gossip to get back to my ex I am back at meetings for a laugh lol

The only merit to a reinstatement plan-K99
I am not planning to get RI'd, I just want her to feel less isolated sitting alone at the back and then have some association at the end of the meeting and be in a listening mood.......it's my idea to win her over I suppose xx
So are you out now K99? Have you actually exited?

if what you are discussing is the JW meeting then I guess you probably should go.-heaven
Yes I would probably talk about how I found the speaker and the talk hypocritical in what ways specifically and that's why I have lost faith
