Wow, so much has happened between you, me and Quincy the past few months! I never thought I'd see the day when I would have a close relationship with you. Everyday I am amazed of the events that have led to us reconnecting.
I want to tell you now how much guilt I have felt for being the one to lead us all down this path in the first place. I am so sorry. I can't change the past but I can apolgize for it now, because I don't think I ever did that for you. It grieves me terribly that I have lost so much time with you and with "Daniel". I think of you every day and wish we lived closer to see each other more often.
You have so much inner strength and wisdom and have always been determined. I know you will be okay in fact you will be great!
Hang in there! I love you very much and will always be here for you, Quincy and for Daniel if he ever is able to break free of the chains that bind him!

Andy,
I thought you did a great job responding.
> What you need to remember is that the organization is run by imperfect people
> - Directed by Jehovah. Why do so many people think that they should be
> perfect? They will make mistakes as much as the next guy.What I have experienced in my time spent as a JW is how intolerable they are with others of different faiths. Like, if say a Christian were to make a mistake they will point out amongst each other how terrible those "Christians" are! But they want the Christians or Muslims or whatever's of the world to accept the fact they are imperfect?!

How Many Here Have Been Shunned?
by Reborn2002 inas most of you already know, the jehovah's witnesses are covering an article in their august kingdom ministry to be discussed the weeks of 8/19 and 8/26 which details how they are to shun and avoid those who are no longer members of their organization, even immediate family members.. .
undoubtedly this article has been written to reinforce to the rank&file jehovah's witnesses the shunning policy, so as to tighten the ranks and prevent members from having the opportunity to learn the abundant contradictions and hypocrisies found within watchtower doctrine and practice from any who may have left.. this policy also serves to divide families and attempt to shame or abuse those whom have chosen to no longer be jehovah's witnesses, for whatever reason.. that much is obvious.
in recent days this topic has been discussed in detail in various threads.

I have been shunned. I have 2 brothers who remained in after I left. One of them will have almost nothing to do with me and the other, Mr. Biggs, is on his way out of the organization but he was never as bad as the other brother when it came to shunning.
To back track, I was only da'd by the elders after I married my non-JW husband in a church. My brothers stayed away from the ceremony but came afterwards during the receiving line. Shortly afterwards, my husband and I relocated to another state. I have rarely had the opportunity to run into my old "friends". But, to be fair, I can only recall one experience in which someone outside my family "shunned" me outright. I mentioned this in Blacksheeps post eariler today.
When my Mom died in 1994, many of my old friends were there and offered me their support and condolences (even though it wasn't a JW type service). I was surprised when after the birth of my child many of my closest friends in the org. sent me well-wishes and even gifts.
The last time I saw my "in" brother, he shunned me and it was evident to all around. I think it was after "Quincy" (my baby brother and poster here) graduated high school (' 99, I think). Afterwards, "in" brother had nothing to do with me but made it a point to laugh and smile with everyone else. This hurt terribly.

The Shunning Paradox?
by blacksheep inas i am in the midst of continuing bizarre hot/cold treatment from the jw members of my family, a thought occurred to me.
if my jw family members don't like what i do, feel i've been led down the wrong path, and generally "disapprove" of me, why the heck not just avoid me altogether???
why come into and out of my life in whenever they deem it desireable?.

They either don't have a "clue" (insert "ignorant") of how they come across or they are the epitome of arrogance.
I can tolerate ignorance much better than arrogance.
One woman who studied with my Mom had come by one day to visit with her while she was dying. I arrive home with my Dad (I was da'd, my Dad was never a dub) and as I am getting out of the car, I hear her say to my Dad, loud enough for me to hear, "Hello *****, I can speak to you, but not Leslie."
My Dad let her know she was not to come back with that kind of attitude. Mom found out later and was livid! One thing I always took great pleasure in knowing was that she had stopped by to see my Mom, but had no idea that Mom had a blood transfusion a short time before then! This woman has always come across as arrogant to me.

Ignored One, I use to have a rex Rabbit, named Fiver (from Watership Downs). He was such a great rabbit, and boy did he have a personality! One day, I would love ot have another one.
Sabine, I have a friend who has a bishon frise, and she said her Vet says they are a difficult breed to housebreak. But they are adorable!
Bug Paradise, I used to work for a Vet, too! That is the main reason why I don't have more animals! I learned that with pet ownership comes resposibility and if I can't afford to take care of them properly I have no business having them.
