You can read the history of my DF'd friend Dee here. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/108564/1890778/post.ashx#1890778
Now for the update. We were talking at lunch this past Friday over at her place. The conservation found its way to DFing and and the like. She told me that she had been on "reproof" for 2 years before being DF'd a couple of months ago. She still shows up at the KH on Sundays and during the week some. Anyway..... I led the conversation towards the UN. We talked about the WT preaching how evil the UN is, blah, blah, blah and she agreed. I began to explain how an organization can join the UN as a NGO and what all that meant. You know the details. I then said this. You should have seen the LOOK on her face! I said did you know the WT had joined the UN as a NGO in the early 90's and had recently withdrew the NGO membership around 2002. The look on her face was as though she had just seen a ghost. We talked about why someone (the WT) would say one thing and do another. She basically was speechless. I told her I would print out the document directly from the UN website and get it to her. She is SLOWLY SEEING THE LIGHT. The advantage I have with her is that I have never been a JW. She knows I don't have an axe to grind or trying to get her to go to my church. I don't attend church anymore even though I found Jesus back in 1974.
We joke around a lot. I told her I was going by the KH on Sunday and put a pack of smokes and some nudie mags in every car! She thought that was pretty funny. We also talked about the thread someone started about what would you put on a billboard if it stood next to a KH. "This KH has no windows - Car stereo liquidation!" and "Do you want to screw up your life? Come on in!" She thought those were pretty funny.
She's THINKING.....that's what it takes.
