  well, it's starting.

  today she left this note in my car, along with a poncho that she knitted for me ..........tell me what you think, i want to write her back, but i would love to have some suggestions to use!

  DA'd on Christmas, and my mother calling me

  by Redneckgurl in

  1. jw

  i knew this wouldn't be easy.

  first of all, our announcement was read in 2 congregations, since we had just switched about 2 years ago.

  the one my parents and longtime friends are in heard it on thursday, how ironic?

  We gave them our letters of DA

  well, i guess it will be official very soon, the announcement will be read and we will be "lost" into satan's world... my husband gave our letters to the elder who came to visit us with his wife the other day.

  this is the 3rd time they came by in the last month, even after he told them he would call them if we wanted to "talk".

  they saw the christmas tree shining through the door, brightly lit, so there could be no question that we had already taken some steps away.......but he still stayed for an hour trying to convince my husband that it was the "truth".. later that day my parents came over (i wasn't here) and he said my mom just looked at our christmas decorations with jealousy in her eyes.

  In a tight spot.......and unsure what to do!

  by Redneckgurl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have not posted in several months..........way too much emotionally for me to deal with everything, since my family is all "in the truth" and i am the black sheep

  well here is my dilemma.........we are going to celebrate halloween with the kids on friday

  there are several in the congregation who still call me to do their hair.........i don't want to do it anymore, but don't know how to tell them as many of them are elderly and i love them dearly.......i don't want to hurt them, ya know?

  Is everyone bitter against JW's?

  by Redneckgurl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have to post this question, because as i was trying so hard to talk to my husband about what i am learning and what others are saying, he is saying i am not doing this objectively at all, and only hearing things from bitter exjw's who are angry at the org for something.

  i say this isn't true, i wasn't searching for answers due to a negative occurance in my life, and i don't believe everyone here was either.

  he says i am only emotional about this, and trying to find reasons to prove all the things i have learned as wrong.

  "You know it is, you know!"

  by Redneckgurl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i kept hearing these words from my mother today, she kept saying, "you know it is the truth" "you know the end is coming" "you know there is only one true religion, there is only one truth" "you know, you know, i know you do".

  aaaaahhhhhggggg!

  it makes me sick to hear her say that, i have always responded to those words with "yeah, i know", but this time i didn't.. a friend that i haven't spoken with in quite a while from the kh da'd herself the other night, i found out.

  My introduction...hopefully not too long!

  by Redneckgurl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am going to try to introduce myself without giving away any evidence of who i am as i am not df or da, but just wanting to figure out what is right for me to do!

  i was born into the jw world only to have parents df as a young child and we celebrated all the holidays without the "holy" meanings and i have such wonderful memories of that.

  when i was 10, the elders stopped by and the rest is history.......i had to quit dance lessons, stop going to my friends house, and no more birthday parties, etc etc.
