    Yeah, its a rough time in my life right now. It's funny how 2 jehovahs witness men woke me up out of bed today at 9:30 in the morning to ask me if I wanted a bible study, and to give me magazines and invite me to the local convention this month.

    They told me they knew I was associated with the witnesses before (sounds like a cult ! or like the mob minus the violence) and one elder actually knew me by who I hung out with a few years back. And figure this, I now moved here 5 months ago from home, which is a 7 hour drive away. Pretty crazy

    I called up my parents very upset, they told me they sent out a couple elders for me to talk to. And for them to ask me if I wanted a bible study and which I said No. My father on the phone says "your not going to go back ?" then I said no im not going back to the meetings", then their was a very long awkward pause, and I said ill talk to you later and hung up.

    I can't believe all this stuff is happening. Feels like im letting down my parents (who I truly love and would never purposely hurt). But im not going to go back into something I don't beleive.

    Going back like some friends I had did, to make it good with their family, in my personally opinion, isn't a good enough reason to be in it. Anyways, everything will workout im sure.

    keith p.s thanks for all the posts guys, it helps.

    Wow is right. Sorry you're having this experience. You are not alone. But it sucks anyways. But you are not alone.

    But it sucks.

    Dear Sexyk,

    Sorry about your shockeroo. You left at about the age I began - 40 years ago. Getting out early is to your advantage. So much good advice you've received; I would say more but I'm a tad sad myself today so am not my usual chatty self. But I could not not respond.

    May you find love and peace on your new path,

    CoCo

    I am 26 and I have been out permanently since i was 16 when my mom got df'd so thank goodness she is out. But I have an Aunt and her family and my grandparents are still in there! I personally am religiously numb. Every time I hear someone say god bless me or thank god or anything relatively religious at all I just want to puke. I do think that JW's are very brainwashed and are trained very well to hold them self higher than every one "worldly". I am so sorry to hear of anyone else going thru the shunning process that our "old friends and family" put us all through! I know things get better that I promise!
