  are they warm?.

  do they view you as an apostate?.

  .....after 8 years of us being disfellowshipped.

  the made contact through my aunt who is still 'in' - as in she has faded but is not disfellowshipped and will pop to a meeting now and again - she does this for my grans' sake.. the contact was from my aunt and uncle (he's an elder) these were the 2 witnesses used against me in my judicial case.

  they contacted my aunt and said to forward the message onto us.

  CantLeave - I was adament from the beginning I wasn't going to get involved - I am dead to them - they are strangers to me and I have no affection for them-yes harsh but the truth. I am sorry for my aunt.

  Julia - yes - my family is getting smaller - but rather that, with genuine people that love you.

  FHN - *shrug* Phylis can make her own plans now - she will not have anything to do with those that she deems as : disgusting and apostates. She wants nothing to do with any of us. Doesn't phase myself and my mum one bit. I know my aunt is hurt by this though.

  ok i walked out on austin powers because i thought it was so crude and god dishonoring.

  since the fade i think it is very funny, still not a favorite but not the end of the world either.

  any movies that were a big sin are nothing now?

  I never walked out of a movie but there were certain movies I just avoided altogether: Stigmata, End of Days, Constintine: I still remember saying to friends - even movies are becoming so obviously satanic. I have seen them all and have really enjoyed them. I kind of have a thing for paranormal movies now - I watching them.

  So this is a follow up to the thread started regarding the contact that some JW family members made through my aunt. They wanted funds to put my grandmother (Phylis) into an all inclusive old age home. They wanted contributions from my aunt and mother. This action showed how, in my mind, money seemingly has the power of resurrection. Debi and I have been dead to the JW family for over 8 years.

  My aunt had arranged that the JW family meet with her and Debi (my mother) face to face. Debi in the end had actually decided to contribute monthly funds, she would do this knowing that she would still be dead to the family and that she was just being used. I didn't agree with it but would support her decision.

  My aunt then phoned Phylis (the gran) to chat with her. The feedback I got back from Debi was in the end, Phylis told my aunt that she was disgusting and that she no longer wanted anything to do with her or her money. Phylis said she had sources that told her my aunt was visiting another church (this was denied) and that she never wants to speak to my aunt again. She also said she wants nothing to do with that apostate Debi and that apostate Louise.

  My aunt then phoned the JW aunt - who had the gall to then say that they had the forms for the home and my aunt could pick them up. My aunt stood her ground and said she will no longer contribute considering what had happend. Debi has also withdrawn her support in light of the conversation.

  I feel for my aunt because she didn't expect this - she wanted to help and was more than willing too. She has taken great care of her mother over the years, buying her treats, taking her on vacation, visiting her to make sure she is okay. This is how she gets treated and she is not disfellowshiped or disassociated, she just doesn't go to meetings.

  I am so proud of my aunt for standing up for herself. I have assured her that her real family (Me, my mother and my brother) will always be here for her and will always love her unconditionallly. I know she is going to have a tough journey ahead but we will be here to support and love her.

  Love you more aunt! **Luke**

  smoked our first cigar today!.

  i know most of you probably see this as a "who cares" moment - but after 13 years of marriage - both of us fading over the last 5 months or so she finally out of nowhere said "i really have always wanted to smoke a cigar!".

  i have many times before but it was a first for her.

  Little things like that can be so much fun - all guilt free. I have also done the cigar thing, I don't like smoking really (nicotene kills my throat) but I'll get the small cherry or vanilla cigars and puff on those.

  Hubbly - now that I do like - it's fruit molases - not like cigarettes or cigars at all - I enjoy having a hubbly (hooker) no and again.

  I had three elders at my JC - I heard through the grapevine one died, one stepped down because all his sons got disfellowshipped for adultry or fornication and the other one *shrug* was an ass.

  breaking free is going to cost plenty!

  family, friends, reputation, purpose in life and self-accusations.. .

  the very same brain that gets you in to the religion is what you are stuck with when you get out.

  I knew that when I went ahead with my decision. I knew my decision would lead me to being disfellowship. I was willing to do it. I have been called all sorts of things from vile, disgusting, dispicable to the whore of babylon. I am dead to family and "friends". 8 years on - I would do it again without so much as a blink of the eye.
