Phizzy - wow. I am both happy and a little sad for you.
The wife and I also received a couple token "We miss you and want you back." A "close" friend of hers came by the house a couple times. She ignored the door.

by Crazyguy injust wondering to those that have gone to one of the international or rc assemblies what's the attendance been like.

How Would Your Being Disfellowshipped Affect You?
by minimus inwould you care?.
would there be any repercussions?.

I wouldn’t care in the slightest. It would be tough on my mom but I think she would still talk to me. Not sure about my sister. She doesn’t talk to me much as it is. Otherwise nothing else would change. My MIL would probably still talk to me.
We’ve moved on for the most part and aren’t hiding the fact that we celebrate holidays. Hell, I have an American flag on the house and put up Christmas and Halloween decorations outside.

Ensure that you dont appear to be Negative , Unhappy or Bitter
by stuckinarut2 injust a quick thought.... we know that the org loves to paint all those who fade or leave as "negative, bitter and unhappy"...because of course "the truth is the happiest way to live".
so, never allow ourselves to be that way when talking with witnesses, or family members still in.. show them that we are happy, our lives are fulfilled and positive.. then they have no ammunition.
also, it helps other doubters to see that there is life in the world beyond the org..

I went to Starbucks last Saturday and there were about 15 witnesses outside having coffee. When I pulled up one sister, an elder’s wife, smiled and said “Hi Dazed.” I smiled and said “Hey, hows it going?” Then my kids and I went inside. Her husband was sitting with his back to me when I pulled up. He was the elder that invited me to the memorial the night before via voicemail. I sent him a text message back: “I respectfully decline this or any future invitations.” So I understand and appreciate him not acknowledging me. I always liked him. I just don’t want to give them a reason to bother me.
When I left, my closest friend from the hall who was sitting there, he didn’t see me until I came out, got up and came over while I was buckling my kids in. I didn’t know how he felt about me anymore. He shook my hand and we chatted for a few minutes. He told me he wanted to get together and catch up. I said sure. We still had each other’s phone numbers. I asked him if he was sure. He told me he didn’t care what others thought.
I smile and acknowledge them if they do the same. I understand being bitter. Everyone’s experience in the borg is different. I believe it is much better for them to see me and Mrs. Dazed and the kids happy rather than reinforcing their bullshit belief that apostates are angry, bitter and mentally diseased.
I often get a hug from one other sister that we knew. Most others ignore me. To those who ignore me, I don't go out of my way to be friendly or mean.

Farewell from Confused and Alone
by confusedandalone ini use to hate when people who made goodbye posts on message boards.
why would they think that just because you no longer post on a chevy truck forum or a los angeles lakers forum the world would crumble around those still left there.
this place is definitely different.

Born in, baptized at 13 and left at 28. Cold turkey. I didnt leave that last meeting knowing it would be the last one. It was a couple weeks later that my wife in tears asked if I was going back after missing 2 full weeks in a row. I told her I couldnt do it anymore. She followed a year later when she was 28, also born in and baptized at 17.
