Its kinda funny that about a year ago this friend went to my elders and turned me in for asking and maybe stating a few things to him that I guess made him feel unconfertable. But over this same time his mate was sleeping around and he has been in the truff for 55 years roughly, born-in. We continued to work together and I keep my mouth shut. So what helped to wake him up?? The elders and friends in his hall of 20 years. He confided in me that after his wifes affairs were outed and then she sumarilly DF'd that he wasnt in the state of mind to go to meetings and out in service. So where were his friends and elders in all this? Not around and not incuraging, instead one elder asked "what did you do?". Friends and others nothing. So he finally broke, told me that he gave all these years to the Org, meetings, service, and extra stuff, shunned his kids since they did'nt become JW's and all for what? Even his wife being Df'd, he said it was just bam you did something wrong your DF'd that quick. No love, no really friends, wasted years not seeing family, All For What???
Just thought I would share.
