So, I got a call yesterday from a sister that I used to be really tight with until she moved away, she doesn't know that I am no longer a witness. Since I am not disfellowshipped or disassociated, more of a walk away and pretty sure I could be marked as bad association... should I tell her the next time we talk or let her live in her dream that I am still a faithful witness... is that lying by avoiding it?

heh... i wouldnt call that lying. but if she's like 99% of witnesses, good luck talking longer than 5 minutes without a "good witness checksum" getting thrown in. i find that the longer people stay in the organization by avoiding the constant creeping doubts, the more likely it is that their personality will become completely absorbed by "godly things."

Fri, August 3, 2007 - 10:15 PMi had a similar experience and i waited until we were face to face to tell him... i did this so that i would be able to tell him why....i knew that i needed to let him know why i dont believe... i guess i thought i could help him let go of his fears and free himself up
i'd tell her, but not on the phone... its too easy to hang up -

Wed, November 28, 2007 - 3:10 PMHey Landa........ If you're not going to meetings anymore, she probably knows. Atleast in my old cong, gossip didn't take long to travel up stream.
So if your still not dfed, then I wouldn't worry about it. Enjoy her company while you still can. ;) Just don't try to get her to see things your way.
I remember when I got married..... I married out of the truth, and quit attending meetings. I had more bros, and sisters, come to my house than ever before! I think they were just trying to get me to come back to the meetings though, but that was never brought up.
I even had one sister help me clean out my stove burners. :)
My wife was to freaking lazy to clean, and I worked 56hrs a week at the time, and still came home to clean, and cook!
So when that sister came over with my granny, and volunteered to help me clean, that was awesome. :)
I still had regular communication with ALOT of people, up until the day that I was shipped off to boot camp. I think it was two days after that, They made the announcement that I had been disfellowshipped. That's the word that got back to me..... but I thought I was suppose to be disassosiated if I joined the military? Oh well, almost the same thing anyway.
I miss alot of people, expecially some of my family, but that's the life I've had to choose, because I cannot believe the things that they do.
So please, oh please Landa, enjoy your friends while you still can.
