  What do you do when JW's talk to you???

  by noni1974 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i usually tell them i'm da.i tend to feel like it's my way of respecting their belief that way.when i was a dub i wouldn't have wanted to talk to a df or da ed person.i was at a family wedding a couple of weeks ago and lots of people came up and said hi to me.people who know who i am and know i'm da ed.i was polite and said hi back but i didn't really talk to anyone unless they talked to me first.i'm asking this question because my second cousin came up to me and said hi.he asked how i was doing i said i'm great.then i told him i'm da ed.he said really i said yes it's been 8 happy years since i left.then i walked away.i think i was rude.what do you say when people come up to you and say hi?

  What if you refused to be disfellowshipped?

  what if you were df'ed for apostasy - yet you continued to show up at meetings with a big smile, slapping folks on the back and shaking hands with them, raising your hand to comment on every paragraph, even being visibly annoyed when you are not called on?

  file a restraining order?

  lock the door?

  "Family day" Is this a new jdub thing?

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know of jws that celebrate "family day" at this time of year.

  i have asked these jw about where they got the term "family day" was it from the watchtower?

  they seem to deny the watchtower had ever mentioned "family day", but i can sense they are trying to hide something here.

  XMAS AND XMAS TREES OF PAGAN ORIGIN? POSSIBLY NOT!

  by badboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  often xmas is associated with saturnalia by some people.. in fact saturnalia was celebrated 17 december to 23 december.. dies natalis natalis invicti was first celebrated on december 25 in about 270.. xmas trees are first mentioned in 1570.. no connection with paganism there..

  HELP! Trying to convince my parents I am going to meetings!

  by stillAwitness in

  a few weeks ago i posted about about how my parents have been asking about wether or not my card has been sent to my "new congregation" since i moved out in july.

  up until now, i have been stalling not knowing wether or not i wanted to just come out and say "i have not been going to meetings" or not take any action at all.

  well someone left an interesting piece of advice on my thread that i have been contemplating doing.that maybe, perhaps i should just have my card sent to a congregation that isn't anywhere near the actual city i live in.
