The super spiritual ones dont talk to me except to hug me or "counsel me". This includes my extended family sadly.
My less spiritual minded friends are cool with it and dont act any differently.
I own a business and almost all my employees are JW and they are all fine. As a matter of fact I have had two contact me about being hired this week.
I am not Dfd. I just stopped going. So that may be a big part of it.
I fully support them in their JWism, after all I was one my entire life and would still be if I hadnt been exposed to a mess made by elders that I took objection to.
My goal is to reverse witness. I do this by living a happy life and letting them see that leaving doesnt "ruin" life, instead it makes it better.
That is the positive side.
On the other side....
I miss my family. A lot.
I cry over that loss. A little.
What makes me cry a "little" instead of a "lot" is I am channeling it. I have a deep and determined goal to extricate people.
I like what Ray Franz said in his book C of C....this is not who they would be if not for the greater wrong (what they have been trained to think)
I am paraphrasing but you get the idea.
