Well at the moment i am apparenlty now known as an apostate in my old circles. Even though i have not really said anything the rumour mill has gone into
overtime and a lot of friends have shunned me,,,,,,but life has thrown some nice positives lately. Ages ago i mentioned two friends that i always regretted
giving the JW shun to well i found them
So only a few months short of my one year out of the watchtower and i have had a good few weeks. A friend did the fade a few years back and was basically shunned for it and well i hate to say it i went along with the shit. Well i tracked him down and he is doing excellent. He has been Uni and nearlt has a degree. He travelled the world as well. Really positve.
Today i found another old friend who was disfellowshiped 4 years ago. His story is slightly sadder as his parents would go to the elders and report everything he did wrong. They were pathetic. Anyway the elders DF'ed him in the end for one story to man. His family kicked him out and he ended up living in a hostel. He had a serious depression and was suicidal for a period. But i talked to him today and he told me his story. He hit rock bottom but now volunteers to talk to children about living on the streets and also volunteers all his time to hostels. The guy is an inspiration. His life has been shit but he is turning it into a positive.
Well we are of for a night out tomorrow to celbrate and well i got some mates back.
Its all good.
