Should I still be angry at the way my ex Jehovah Witness "friend" treated me or not?

I did Bible Studies in April 2011 with a Jehovah Witness woman for 8 months. She promised me she would support me but she didn't. My husband and my family found out and things went downhill quickly. I told my ex Jehovah Witness friend and she said to me what do you want me to do about it sort it out yourself. She turned me away at her door as well and when my husband threatened to kick me out of the house she just didn't seem bothered at all. I know this was almost 2 years ago but should I still feel angry at how she treated me. It was never my intention to become a Jehovah Witness I just wanted to find out about them and their beliefs and why they believe in them.

I don't actually understand what this post is about.

Pantomimedam · 17/12/2012 19:22

I'm not sure what you expected her to do, or why you are still angry with her two years later?

Eh?

LynetteScavo · 17/12/2012 19:26

So you did a bible studies course without telling your family, and your husband threatened to kick you out of the house becuase of this?

Is this woman an ex Jahovah Witness, or and ex freind or both? Confused

gordyslovesheep · 17/12/2012 19:26

maybe she realised you where a needy time waster?

PumpkinPositive · 17/12/2012 19:30

She said she'd support your decision not to become a JH? And your husband threaten to kick you out cos you had been to Bible Studies class? Confused

Need more info, OP.

PorkyScratching · 17/12/2012 19:32

Nothing in your post makes sense, Perhaps you culd try again?

So you met a woman at a group, you attached yourself to her, she distanced you and your still angry with her.

Not sure you had a reason to be angry before let alone years later.

What the hell are you talking about op?

VivaLeBeaver · 17/12/2012 19:40

She was hoping you'd convert.

She realised you weren't serious.

She dropped you like a hot potato.

LadyBeagleBaublesandBells · 17/12/2012 19:42

I don't think may people understand your post, Op.
Can you elaborate a bit?

IneedAsockamnesty · 17/12/2012 19:42

It was 2 years ago get over it.

IneedAsockamnesty · 17/12/2012 19:43

But I expect its more about the family reaction and your ex? Dh that the friend

gimmecakeandcandy · 17/12/2012 19:45

...?

BusyLittleSpider · 17/12/2012 19:52

Did you make it clear to your ex friend that you had no intention of converting? Perhaps this us why she refused to support you?

Two years is long enough surely for you to have got over this. I really think you need to let it go and move on.

JW and the new Muslims it would seem Everlong Grin

gordyslovesheep · 17/12/2012 20:08

ARE not and!

HollyBerryBush · 17/12/2012 20:09

Emotionally support doesnt mean food, clothe and put a roof over your head, althougH I would presume someone who professes to be Christian would give temporary sanctuary to another in need.

Im non plussed where she is an ex-Jehovah who is a friend, or a an ex-friend
who is a Jehovah.

It was never my intention to become a Jehovah Witness I just wanted to find out about them and their beliefs and why they believe in them.

might I suggest you google in the future?

TheLightPassenger · 17/12/2012 20:18

I don't understand the "ex" bit - do you mean ex-friend or exJW? I think you have to see it as a bit of a life lesson - that with some religious groups, if you don't agree with their beliefs/practices then they don't want to be friends with you. Did you start doing bible studies because you felt lonely and thought you would make new friends?
