  “If the disfellowshipped or disassociated one is a relative living outside the immediate family circle and home. It might be possible to have almost no contact at all with the relative. Even if there were some family matters requiring contact, this certainly would be kept to a minimum, in line with the divine principle: “Quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person [or guilty of another gross sin], . . . not even eating with such a man.”—1 Corinthians 5:11.

  my favorite part is where they add to the Bible and say (or guilty of another gross sin)......clearly that script only says those two things....pricks.

  since being out mentally and missing meetings my children mention people from the hall and i cant help but feel bad that they are missing the association.

  my daughters are 4 and 2 and we live in a small town with not a whole lot to do.

  what activities did you do with your kids?

  Since being out mentally and missing meetings my children mention people from the hall and i cant help but feel bad that they are missing the association. My daughters are 4 and 2 and we live in a small town with not a whole lot to do. What activities did you do with your kids? We go to the park and go for walks with our dog. But since becoming a witness i was loaded down and didnt give them enough time and attention....and i dont wanna miss out. We have monday night family reading and crafts at our library so maybe thats a start. My daughter starts pre K in august and id like to start preparing her more for whats to come. Any ideas? My goal is to be an all around better father and really put in the time that used to be taken up with real quality time with the kids and my wife.

  i think this may be the real reason for the funk ive been in. Ive felt overtired and kind of lost and id like to start this new path and make it a great one for all of us!

  Parents i seek your wisdom and experience! Thanks for all of you being there to talk to :-)

  Today nothing feels right. I feel like a bystander to all things. As if im nowhere and have no forward progression. My wife and i are looking to move and arent having much luck. Our finances are low, cant afford insurance but make too much for assistance. everything today just seems so heavy. We miss our friends and it angers me that i can only hang with them if im flowing suit and obeying all from the FDs.

  How did you overcome your loneliness?

  Watching cosmos last night helped and music has been my best inspiration. But im more irritable and less cheery than ive been.

  Is it just Nostalgia kicking in?

  so the wt must be well versed in understanding patterns in us faders.

  first you comment less, less service, less meeting attendance, then you remove yourself from the school, etc etc.

  is there a psychological aspect to this from a non jw point?.
