Hi,
I was brought up a JW mother pioneer father Elder, and Sister Pioneer. I Left 5 years ago. I recently had to go to my sisters wedding in the old kingdom hall!!
All the poeple who i grew up with are now Elders and Mini Servents. My partner and i were not made that welcome! And those who did talk to us hade decided that it was a appropiate time and place to try and convert me back!! And felt that it was there place to question my own belives.
They look at you as if you have commited murder!
My only saving grace was the oppertunity to tell a C.O to F*** off and that he was not invited to my sisters wedding to Preach and that my belives were personal to me and didnt find it appropiate for him to ask me about them!
Incidently I was not asked to sit at the top tabel with my family i was hidden in the corner of the room, and the wedding photos were done when i wasnt there! family values for you!
Has anybody had any experiences of this type? I understand that i am lucky to be invited to my sisters wedding as some of you will have been cut off compleetly. I was to but managed to get talking to them in the last month.
