Hi all,
Apart from 3 weeks back when I mentioned here that I ran into an elder at a cafe and told him that I was going to church etc, I haven't seen any JWs since leaving the WT about 15 months ago.
Curiosity got the better of me yesterday as to what my standing is in the congregation, since admitting to going to another church to an elder I thought they may take some action. So I emailed my once good friend in the JWs to ask if I was disfellowshipped.
She said that no announcements or anything had been made (perhaps they're all too lazy and apathetic to take action?).
So I emailed back that I had become a christian and that it's been so long since I've seen her and her husband that I'd love to see them one day and see their wedding photos (they got married after I left). I said I didn't want to tell them too much about being a Christian or going to church so they won't think I'm apostate (though I'm the biggest 'apostate' around ) or stumble then, I'd just like to see them socially.
To my surprise they agreed and said can they come around tonight to my flat!!
I had fully prepared myself to them saying that they didnt' think it would be a good idea or anything. So it will be good to see them even just the once because if I do ever get disfellowshipped then they definitely won't be able to see me. So I've bought a bottle of wine to help the evening go smoothly and make everyone relaxed.
I'll report back tomorrow to tell you how it went or if anything to do with the JWs was discussed.
