Hi. Not new here, always read the posts. So, I finally registered. I was DF'd back in Oct 1992. I planned my escape for 3 months. The funny thing was I was a regular pioneer (Dad was an elder, Mom was a regular pioneer too) at the time, went out in service all day, had my own car at the time, and said to my mom at the end of the day, see you when I get home. Never went home, went straight to my boyfriends house, his parents knew I would be staying there until I made other arrangements. They took me in. Anyway, I wanted to be DF'd. The only way I personally would be able to was to do it cold heartedly. My Dad was the one who ratted on me, but really for me, wrong word. They eventually found out where I was staying...Dad would continue to call me to find out if I commited fornication...I kept saying no, it was the truth though, I was afraid to have sex...Luckily, my 1st boyfriend was a real nice guy...Eventually, my Dad called me and asked me the question again, I finally said yes after three months of him calling asking me the question....He said, do you regret it, I said no, I just regretted waiting so long, Ha...I never had a meeting with the committee, Dad asked he I would, I said no thank you, did not want to be a JW anymore. It was announced the following Tues. The whole congregation was in shock because we were this so called perfect little family....my parents relationship went down hill from there. Haven't seen my dad since Oct of 1992. My mom, did not see her for 8 years, we reunited in Sept 2000, it was like a dream come true...it was extremely tough at 1st, due to problems she had that I was not aware of...she got her life together now, there are so many conversations of how she regrets raising me that way....etc....I tell her the past is the past, its OK now. I have my mom back.
