I have not been a sister for the past 19 years, i asked to be DA'd as I had started smoking aged 12 and at 19 no longer wanted people to think badly of the JW's over my conduct.
For 19 years my father, an elder, has tried his damndest to bring me back. He kept contact sometimes more, sometimes less, always under the threat to stop the contact alltogether. At one point he managed to not speak to me for several months.
Now he has moves to a different country and we have been on the phone EVERY day for the past few months. On monday I got the call (as did my disfellowshipped brother). I assume something has been said at sundays meeting or he's had his cage rattled again over talking to me.
This call appears to be a definate cut in the relationship and I am frustrated!
He lives in a household with my other brother, who was just reinstated a year ago, along with his non-believing wife. She is downright opposing and yet it is ok to have contact with her, but not with me!
In all these years I have defended the faith, kept making attempts to go back but failing because I can't give up the smoking thing, but apart from that I have led a moral and absolutely vanilla life.
Grrrr! Grrrrr! Grrrr!
ps, found a great website full of fantastic information http://www.jwfacts.com if only I could make my dad read it.....
