Glad you had a happy birthday. Do you know it's odd, my mum hasn't called me on my last 2 birthdays since I faded, yet she did previously.

Curious About My Disfellowshipping.
by vajeni82 ini recently read an interesting thread (is there a 'third' way to leave?
) that talked about fading instead of being df'd or da'd.
i myself had planned to fade, but was df'd instead.

If it was me I'd call up and ask. It sounds as though you were accused of something, and by simply not going to your JC they assumed this meant you were guilty of whatever it was you were accused of.

jw's view of wordly people - hipocrisy
by spirituk ini was wondering how a baptised jw see wordly people?
i mean what do they think of people who arent jw ?
do they think we will die forever and that we are controlled by satan?

When I was a JW, I felt sorry for 'worldy' people as I thought they were walking aimlessly with no purpose. I had 'worldly' friends but never preached to them if they didn't take any bait, i didn't want them to die for refusing to listen to the 'good news'.

No, last year I went after I'd startedcto fade, hated every second of it, was the last time I was in a KH, I won't be going this year. My wife invited me, I said if I went it would only be to please people I have nothing to do with, so should I go? She understood. It will be just like any other night for me.

ChiChi89, first of all, welcome here, this is a friendly place, stay a while.
Second, please see this as an opportunity, a time for a breather to re-evaluate all the rules and regulations you have been living under. Take time to research what you believe, and see if you can re-connect with some of your 'wordly' friends.
You do not state whether you are in education, working, have family etc.. Assess what you DO have, not what you don't for the moment.

Flawed Heroes
by jgnat inbeing the inquiring sort, i've read deeper in to the past of some of my heroes, and found....flaws.
it shakes me up.
i wonder; is my hero worth emulating?
-
happy@last
Everyone who makes it through today despite adversity is a hero. The trouble is, putting someone on a pedestal doesn't change the fact they are still human and may have had words of wisdom some days, they sure would have had failings other days.

Hi Tylin, thank you for sharing part of your life story with us. I wish you and your family all the happiness you deserve. We cannot erase the past, but we can make each day count, and it sounds you are well on your way to doing that.
