  At first it was business..........then it got bad

  A long, long time ago, ... in a land far far away I was considered as "family" with this family.

  Thank gawd he lives about 100 miles away from me, ... and the calls are mostly business.

  This time, .... it was ....Well, when do you think you are going to return and start serving Jehovah again.??

  Shocked the hell outta me cause I did'nt hear these words for years.

  When that conversation ended..........he was singing a "new song".......I let him have it.

  This year (2006) marks five years since I was active and regular as a jw........No one has cared...... whats the difference now.

  Oh, and by the way Thank you......to all of you wonderful people here on JWD.......Thank you for letting vent a little.

  See, they think if you aren't at the KH, you can't be serving God...God is only at the KH according to them.

  Didn't Jesus say,

  Your love for one another attendance at the Kingdom Hall will prove to the world that you are my disciples."

  Thanks for your thought..............I detailed a few thoughts quick....like

  The elders told me that I was not welcome at the hall anymore, and, they suggested I go to a different one. So I know what kind of

  letter would follow me, and there is not such thing as a fresh start. I am sick of the gossip and dealing with stupid people.

  NO one cares or trys to visit me, no one contacts me, soooo the TRUTH is no one wants me there any/way.

  The elders don't want me there because.....I was the one who always brought up THEIR short/comings. And there are many!!!

  Theres more but I am tired now from working on my project house.....been at it for a couple of days...and that call was just not appreciated.

  Well, when do you think you are going to return and start serving Jehovah again.??

  
  100% proof that the membership feels it is by their WORKS they are saved and that they cannot serve god OUTSIDE of the organzation. "Start serving Jehovah" is a buzzword for "following the Watchtower". It's actually sad how many people just don't get it. Next time he calls tell him you never stopped serving God and then ask where has he been.
