  Hi,

  It's been a while since I've posted here. Nice to be back!! I have a question....Have any of you had this problem?........I ds'd myself about 6 years ago. Wow! Time sure flies! My husband was never baptized, so just drifted away. We have 4 children. My oldest was at her job the other day, she's a hostess at a nice restaurant. Anyway, some jw's came in that she recognized, so she said hello. They totally acted like they didn't know her!!!! I am so annoyed by this! She is only 17 and was 11 when we got out. Plus, I didn' t think they were suppose to shun the kids!! What's going on with that?

  Now, my husband has seen jw's out and they will speak to him. Some have even ask for his help on their cars. I can't believe it. I am completely shunned, and fine with it.

  Any ideas?

  they came to my door last week.

  i saw the watchtowers, so to save this poor ol' 'brother's" voice, i opted to tell them that i had ds'd myself 4years ago.

  usually this will ward them off as if i had the plague.

Usually this will ward them off as if I had the plague. But, noooooooooooo.................the other man started asking me questions!!!! Why did you leave? You know what God's name is! We have a CD rom you need to listen to, it's telling how apostates are misleading you! Blah! Blah! Blah! I couldn't believe it!!!! I wasn't ready for this and I was very sick with the flu. So, I just stood there, sore throat, nose stopped up and everything. I wish I had felt better, I might have been rude. But, I said nothing and wished them a nice day. Anybody had experiences like this before. Where THEY won't leave?!!?!?? And can you give me some advice as to what to say? maybe I shouldn't have told them I ds'd myself and just said that I was interested?

  Thanks!!

  Happy2b OUT!!!!!

  I got my gift today! It smelled wonderful even before I opened it. I got some GREAT smelling cinnamon potpourri, cedar closet fresheners and a precious xmas ornament with 2 little bears on it that says, 'To a sweet little sister'. I love them all! And they came all the way from Canada!! (I'm in Alabama) Grace was my secret Santa and she is the sweetest thing in the world!

  Hugs and Merry Christmas!

  White Christmas, QUESTION?

  by zev in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my part of the world, it *usually* snows in the winter time.

  also, because of that fact that it usually snows, dubs were inclined to hope for no snow at christmas time.. they felt that it was a good thing and would ruin christmas for those celebrating it if it didn't snow.. (at least thats how i interped the remarks i heard.).

  how did you feel about a white christmas when you were a dub?.

  Well, I"m in Alabama, so we rarely see snow. That was never an issue for field service down here.

  But, I always hope for some snow. I'd love to have a nice big ol' SNOW!!!!!!! It's so beautiful and sooooooo quiet!! I love it!!

  Hugs,

  Being Sound In Mind Means You Stay Away From World

  a new public talk reviews what being sound in mind refers to.

  the speaker mentioned that in order to please jehovah and show that you have "soundness of mind", you should not associate with anyone that is not in the "truth", to the extent possible.

  he re-read that comment a second time for emphasis.

  I understand that completely. I ds'd myself, letter and all. I sorta wish I had just faded away, to avoid the shunning. Mainly from my in-laws. But, say-la-vee. (I know, I know, I spelled that wrong) It's been 4 years and I really don't miss them like I thought I would. Sorry to say. The only thing I worry about is that my kids won't remember them and they will never even know my youngest. (she's about to turn 4) oh, by the way, we live in the same city. oh well.

  hugs!

  Minimus,

  Do you still attend the meetings? I'm sorry I don't know your 'story'. Are you planning on leaving?

  Oh, I remember feeling somewhat superior to 'worldly' people. As if they were ignorant to what was really happening in the world. Growing up, I was never allowed to hang out with anyone that wasn't in the "truth". I'm sure that hurt my ability to accept others as friends as an adult. I resent that.

  Hugs to all,
