  well I'm ovwer the 10,000 mark and have been here for over 5 years.

  I stay to help others. I remember very clearly what it felt like to be alone. I was dusfellowshipped and lost my family, friends and community. And there was no internet 21 years ago when I left.

  If I can help anyone along the way then I will stay.

  My posting/day change. Sometimes I have a lot to say and other times I just read. Right now I seem to be a reading spell more than posting

  One other thing, when I first got here I needed to know I was not alone. I wasn't crazy for leaving and not going back to get reinstated. When the whole silentlambs scandal broke wide open I was blown away that I wasn't just a rare case. There were thousands of others who had been treated like lambs to the slaughter. I had a lot to say during that. It was sad there were so many others but it helped me a great deal to know I wasn't the real problem.

  Other issues hit very close to home for me - suicide (2 in my family and I was close to doing it myself); abused wives; abused children; 1975 I was there and I remember what happened; Mexico/Malawi I remember the todo about Malawi. In all of this I have recieved much needed support from the posters on this board.

  If I help just one person then I am gkad JWD exists to help others

  I'm here because I'm spiritually sick. The elders told me so.

  I don't know, might not be for too much longer. But I still don't have any plans about quiting, it is like a good vine, it only gets better with age :)

  37 As soon as he got on the internet all the multitude of the disciples started to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice concerning all the powerful works they had seen, 38 saying: “Blessed is the One coming in JWD’s name! Peace in cyberspace, and glory in the storage devices!” 39 However, some of the Dubs said to him: “Simon, rebuke your membership.” 40 But in reply he said: “I tell YOU, If these remained silent, the stones would cry out.”

  Over time, it is likely that your reasons for posting may change, as mine do. Sometimes I post to lend support to a person in pain, sometimes to participate in a overtly covert UADNA mission, sometimes I post simply to add to the body of evidence that says that there is no such thing as a silly comment.

  It's an uphill battle.

  Probably not much longer. I'm getting a little tired of always picking at the same old scab over and over again.

  Greetings RV,

  I have lots of fun here. Also the way some here can tear the watchtower teachings into confetti still astounds me. I would miss it.

  I have been a member here since 2000, I have left the board several times thinking I did not need it anymore. I find that the learning process continues to grow even though I have been out of the borg for 7 or 8 years now. Everytime I come here I find something new and interesting and the fact that you gain some great friends here and I could not leave them. This board is an awesome site and helps many to gain information that will help and guide them out of a cult that does nothing for people except destroy lives and families.

  I have learned so much from this board that now I come here to help others and to have a great time with friends that can never be replaced.

  OnTheWayOut

  I see myself posting alot as long as I am attending the meetings and getting wonderful
  non-help from the elders. I will continue to post after I fade and more-so if the wife
  stays active (it does appear that she will). So I see myself posting heavily for a few
  years, perhaps more. It's very good to get it out of my mind on down on [paper] screen.

  If the wife and I ever get out, I hope to fade almost entirely from JWD and stop thinking
  about WTS so much. I would check back once-in-a-while. That's far off, now.
