Arggggggg! That would be some miserable suffering for sure! But....do you think it is a matter of just sending in a notice? Like if we could find a fading elder to help us? I would only like it changed on record since my ex is an Elder, and would check up on me I am sure...so he feels ok letting my daughter continue to visit me.

I DA'd myself quite a while ago (7yrs) and I wish I could have somehow faded. I see how all my siblings are treated different than me ONLY because they never got dunked. I was dunked at 14, which is way too young. I do not ever want to be a JW again....but I would like the title of being DA'd gone so my daughter never has to worry about shunning me. Can anyone tell me if this would be possible or are there any elders that anyone knows of that would help me by updating the society's records? Thanks to anyone who knows.

Are we no different than JWs when it comes to expectations?
by undercover ini find it interesting that a lot of people who came out of the jw experience still have expectations of "big" things to come.. as ex-jws, we can quote wt publications and list references showing all the instances where the "end" has been predicted and we list all the failures of their predictions and hopes.. a lot of us use those failed expectations as a basis for no longer accepting the wts as god's organization on earth.. yet, a lot of people leave the jws, then become infatuated with the notion that the "end" of the wts or jws is imminent.. threads pop up from time to time about "how long can the wts last?
" or "what big changes are about to happen?
" etc.. when i read some of these, i'm reminded of jws and how they use the "evidence" of earthquakes, famine, disease and wars and reports of wars as "evidence" for the "end" being so close.. have we traded on "end times" belief for another?

I was under the impression that since the proof of the WTBTS being misleading can be found easily, it will definitley affect the numbers of those being tricked. I don't think any of us are awaiting the "BIG END" at all....rather, happy that not so many are getting tricked.

A funny prayer...out of the mouths of babes....
by megsmomma inthis story is cute in a way....but also disturbing since it does show how jw's brainwash their young.. when my daughter was 5 she was visiting me and at night i would listen to her pray (at that time i was still not free from the guilt, ect) well, she started out "dear jehovah....ooohhhhhhh jehovah......(sounded just like her dad) thank you so much for this food we're about to recieve..." no, we were not about to eat!
i had to see she was imitating what she had heard many times....and i laugh, but it makes me sad too.
at least i know that their truth really isn't in her heart....just her brainwashed mind, and for some reason....i think that is much better..

Not good, not good at all
by lola28 inhi guys,.
sorry to burden you all with this but i really have no one that i want to talk about this with, i'm afraid that i will burst into tears and wont be able to stop if i call any of my friends and tell them what's going on.
my little sister has been ill with a fever for three weeks, her doctor kept telling her it was just a bad case of the flu and that she had an ear infection, he gave her antibiotics and sent her home.

I am so sorry to hear about your little sister. You are right, she should not have to go through that. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I can relate because my little sister ( I am 31...and she is 21) fell off a bridge.....over 60 feet high and went through a-lot to recover. I would have traded her places too. ((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))

I called.....expecting nothing.....and got just that! She actually said.."I am out in service (with the exciting new tract, no doubt) and I will have to get back to you" Boy, they really do keep the dubs too busy to realize what is really going on in their own life. BTW....she has seen pics and saw her in person once, when she told me I need to go back to Jah....and when I said I wouldn't be going back, she gave me and the baby up....and told me so.

Going to another congregation and making believe to be a good JW
by JH indid you ever think of attending a meeting at another hall far away, where no one knows you, and where you could pass for a very spiritual jw...although you,re df'd... hehe.
something maybe you'd like to do just once, just to see how things are these days at the meetings.. and maybe at the end of the meeting after making 10 comments, tell everyone, you're disfellowshipped !!!!
hahaha.

3 years ago I went to the memorial with 2 df'd friends. It was held in a school auditorium. I didn't know how it would make me feel, since at that time I wasn't sure it wasn't The Truth...Well, I walked in and saw all the DUBS shaking hands, with fake smiles..."welcome sister..."the cheesy clothes and I started cracking up so hard I had to go to the nearest doors and walk out! I don't think I am that good at faking anymore!

New Campaign: "The End of False Religion Is Near" and the Tribulation
by Mikeus inyesterday my wife (an inactive-but-not-yet-df'd jw) and i went over to visit her parent's house (still very active jws), and my mother-in-law handed my wife a flyer entitled 'the end of false religion is near' with a nice evil-destroying lightning bolt pictured on the front.
she whispered to my wife that this was a new campaign and was not supposed to be handed out until next month, but was "very excited, because this is supposed to bring about the tribulation".. they may be right.
inside the two pages they call catholics condoning child molesting (ironic), non-jws blood thirsty war mongers, and how people involved in politics are under mind control (again, ironic), among other things.

Welcome to the forum Mikus.....You might want to look into the threads and see that this is old news here! It is kindof funny to see that many ex-JW's know more about what is going on in the org than those that are in it. They did really hype this tract up though....telling them "persecution" can be expected due to this tract...but really it is the same ol' same ol'.
