Hi everybody,
I decided to join the group though I’m reading this forum since years now. I almost know you all….by nickname I mean….
My husband joined you a few years ago already. But I do not feel so ‘free of speech’ because English is not my mother tongue, but I read a lot English books, have some relations with English speaking people, have a nice friend who is active on this forum and very known (because of her discoveries), so I will try to do my best. I’m leaving in one of the French speaking country in Europe.
My husband is disfellowshipped since a few months, but before that, when he felt that things were moving with the elders after years of fading, he provoked a big mess between the local JW by sending almost 500 letters and e-mail to JW explaining the reasons of his fading.
But I’m still a witness, namely I have just the ‘label’, but not attending since 4 years now. My problem is the usual JW’s problem: the family! My family, though leaving far away are all devote witnesses and I still have not explained to all of them the reasons which brought us to take such a difficult decision after more than 50 years of attendance!!!!
For the time being, I’m thinking to which arguments would be the most acceptable to them. I’m collecting arguments, sentences, reasoning, quotations, in order to write to them all, a long letter.
Well, thankful to be here, wish you all a sunny Sunday!
Claudia
