  The "Pop-In"

  by Mr. Falcon in

  so last night the wife is working, the kids are getting ready for bed and i'm watching futurama.

  doorbell rings.

  now it's dark, snowing and i live on a back road, so it's very odd to have a visitor.

  Actually, I do have non-jw friends that occassionally stop in unannounced, esp. in the Summer. I'm fine with it most of the time, glad they feel comfortable enough with me to want to drop in. Jw's are another matter, but they stop by so rarely, and I never let them in. Just politely tell them I'm busy. But there is still a jw couple who will stop by my house to use the bathroom, even tho I DA'd last year. I'm wondering if there was no announcement made, or if they missed it? I kind of wish they would not stop by anymore to use my bathroom.

  so i started a reply on the topic of "what's your status?

  " and it made me think about my df hearing (sorry i can't remember the exact term for what happened).. so i was fading, living in a different country, working & making rare appearances at my kingdom hall.

  i was flat sharing with a sister though.

  I hate to sound foolish, but may I ask you all a question? If you wanted out, why not simply DA yourself, or refuse to meet with these men you know have no authority over you any longer, and let them df you without meeting with them? I consider myself to be someone who tries to show others respect, but from some of the descriptions I have read of some jc's, I seriously would have told these men to blow it out their butts after a few minutes. I don't mean to sound flip, I am just really curious. Thank you.

  Please don't give up yet, ingimar. I think you are probably tired with your health concerns, and don't have the energy you need right now to fight this religion. Take care of your health first, that is most important. You may need to move slower than you want with your husband, but please don't stop trying yet. You have received many good suggestions on here, along with information on resources (websites, books, etc.) that will provide you with the tools/facts you need in your conversations with your husband. He has been brainwashed, and that is a difficult thing to fight. At least his work keeps him away from the hall a bit. I hope you have a full return to good health soon. Take care of yourself first.

  Are you serious? Do they really have their own orchards, cider/syrup processing room, and a GOLF COURSE?!! All the while telling members to keep it simple? Please tell me this is an exaggeration. My blood is boiling! I need to remember to take by bp pills!
