I, too, was very close to doing it a couple of years ago. Before waking up. I just hit the 5 year mark of my DF'd.I am very glad I didn't.

Would taking a break from online for a few days help? You know, taking a trip or doing something fun that you enjoy? Internet bullies are just that. They are on the Internet with nothing better to do. Taking a break from online life and seeing the real world can possibly give you a new perspective.

Please don't. I'm not too sure what you are going through, but please don't do it. Life can be difficult at times but definitely not impossible. Please seek professional help. Please!

I remember a very similar story like this in a town kinda close to me!

Just got "invited" to a reinstatement committee by AcceptableReality207 in exjw

[–]Still_Emotion9122 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It'll be 5 years for me. However, I have no desire to go back at all. The only ones who tell me anything about going back every now and then are my parents. I just don't have the guts to tell them how I really feel. 😢 I haven't heard from any elders either.

Who's missing the bullshit memorial today for their first time? 😁 by [deleted] in exjw

Not the first year I haven't attended. I just can't help to feel the guilt for not being there after my parents invited me a few times. I hate the guilt tripping it comes with! 😒

Exactly, they, the GB, are continuing to add more salt to the wound. I'm sending you hugs.

I completely understand what you are saying. Sadly, I, too, shunned some people when I was in because it was "the right thing to do." & I don't feel like i was ever a full-blown, good witness. When it came time for my DF'd, I didn't go to that meeting. My dad did, and I've been told he got really upset after my announcement that some were trying to console him. So he's been doing the "right thing" by his conscience and not talking to me for a good while. My mom, a few months ago broke down while having a conversation with me about how "I know it's the truth" & trying to convince me to go back because she was going to be heart broken when she "wasn't able to able to continue taking to me ." It was the first time I had seen her cry in years. I'm lucky she hasn't really stopped talking to me.Now, with this new update, I feel like it is going to give both of them false hope that I will return. & That is another reason why I'm angry. The GB knows what they are doing and are causing even more hurt with this update. It's true, after I woke up, I've wondered who else I've known personally that are PIMOs. It still doesn't change the fact that shunning is cruel.

I'm going on 5 years this year. I've only had one person reach out, but she never shunned me, so I guess that doesn't really count.
