by babygirl30 inwhat bothers me most about df'ing is not only the shunning, but the constant verbal reminders (by elders and the jw pubs) that jehovah has 'taken his holy spirit' away from you.
its sad cause the whole scenario of being a jw is like living with an abuser:.
abuse: abuser comes on strong - is sweet and falls in love quickly vs jws: love bombed and drawn into the org by association.

by feenx ini popped the question and got a yes!
i have to say, it's a bit surreal.

In your experience how many DFd return to the WTS?
by teel infrom the 11/15/09 wt study article: "it is heartwarming to know that a large number of such ones [disfellowshipped ones] later return to jehovah and his congregation...".
this is a typical cult phrase, where they use a generic unverifiable statement to prove a point.
so, since we're not likely to get an official answer from the wt, how many of the dfd ones in your vicinity has actually been reinstated?.

Slightly weird mess-up by the Society...service meeting part
by sir82 inif there's one thing the society loves, it is punctuality and regularity.. every year for at least the past 30 years, without fail, you could set your atomic clock by it, what is the primary topic of the 1st service meeting in january?.
you find out where and when your district convention will be that year.. so, looking at the december km, sure enough, there is an insert covering the usual topics (don't save seats, arrive on time, spit out your gum, don't pee in the hotel pool, etc.)..
but wait a minute!

Do any of your friends worry you will go back?
by creativhoney inhello all.. in thes spirit of another thread i read where the boyfriend was badgering our poster about the religion saying he wanted her to forget it and not go back... do you have friends that worry?
my best friend is always asking me... do you think you will go back?.
do you think its because when we were in we so vehemently proclaimed we believed it?

Did you ever feel being a JW was like ...
by sacolton inhaving a license to be a complete douchebag to others?
