I am sad to say that my JW relatives have decided to shun me. They found out that I associate with ex-JWs, apostates, DFed and DAed persons.

They decided I have become apostate and will no longer talk to me. Gee, did my telling them two years ago that I was an atheist give them a clue?

They asked me straight out if I help people deal with the problems of leaving the JWs. I said yes.

My brother in law was diplomatic, and I might be able to talk to him about "family business". Time will tell. My brother has blocked my phone number so I can't call him.

Given a choice between shunning people who have done nothing wrong, and being shunned by bigots was an easy choice. I told them that my love for them is unconditional and if they change their mind, I will welcome them back with open arms.

My big regret is that I never showed them the "truth about the truth" because I wanted to avoid the shunning. Now, I wish I had been more bold. They will have to find out a different way.

My thanks to Kirsten Haugland for warning me two years ago that this would happen. I have had a few years to prepare myself mentally.

I must give a special "Thank You" to Windrider. She has given me so much love and comfort during this time that I cannot express how grateful I am that she gave me her heart. Will a lifetime of love and devotion be enough to show how thankful I am?

Why should I shun moral people? My precious Windrider is the most moral and good person I know. She has been a tremendous source of strength for me during this time. I love her so much!
