    Hi
    I am currently DF'd but seriously considering returning to the meetings with a view to reinstatement. I am looking for honest, open minded discussion. If I offend you all by being here, please let me know and I wont come back again.
    Thanks for reading this!

    Hey Wander,

    We are jw's in all stages - studying, current attending, inactive, gone, loooong gone.

    welcome - we're not a congregation - we absolutely do not practice shunning. We chat, joke, argue, not talk to each because we have personality clashes, etc. - but there's always someone else to chat with.

    I'm inactive, but my daughter is df'd. Broke my heart at the time. I never broke association with her, however. She is my daughter, my heart.

    We have an intro-style thread going on "Hello? Hello? Hello?" I thought it would be colorful to put it in the Sex Forum to wake us up. (We never use that area for some reason.) You'll learn a little about a lot of old/new posters. Please post a little about yourself - whatever you're comfortable saying.

    Nice to meet you.

    Hi WanderingStar
    Feel free to ask any questions you want - like waiting said, we have a pretty open policy here and only really take action when people are out to be disruptive (and even then, the action is usually just to ignore them!)
    I can understand what a difficult situation you are in and without knowing anything more about the circumstances can only suggest that you do a lot of study and research to make sure that you know the truth.

    WanderingStar....Welcome. I'm inactive myself, but no one here will shun you or be offended. We are here to share experiences and to discuss subjects both shallow and deep.

    Stick around. I think you'll like it here.

    Hi Wandering,

    As you can see, there's no "Trip'n" goin on 'round here.

    I hope Simon keeps this board up after he moves his family to the"Great white north".

    So as a new one myself...Welcome to the circle.

    I have posted almost exactly the same post as yours, I've just come accross yours.
    I am working hard to return. I am not critical of the WBTS nor of the decision to DF me. All I want is to get back, and I have someone to talk to on the way ....kewl.
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    You may email me if you wish

    Oh that's wonderful DF'd...and after you get reinstated will you shun us all, after you get re-spiritual?
    Glad we were here for you to chat with in the interim.
