    Nick! You sound like you've got the right experience to become a very helpful poster here for others. Welcome.

    I have one question: Living in the E.U.s?? I've never heard this expression. Does this mean one of the countries

    in the European Union? Are the individual countries now like the States are here in America?

    Welcome Nick! !

    Wow, you gave a lot of yourself to the organization. I suppose now that you're out, it's all discounted by those still in. No matter. You're finally out, and isn't it grand to finally be free?

    I'll bet you have some stories to tell. Please do tell them, at least some!

    Welcome to the board. Tell us the secret getting your family out. I'm sure others would like to know.

    How did you get out with your whole family???

    Is that European Union or Estados Unidos?? (Which would explain the "s")

    Is Estados Unidos is abbreviated E.E.U.U.???

    Nick!

    Well, good basic questions!

    Let me try to reply briefly:
    - E.U. stands for European Union. The “s” was only … a typing mistake
    - No, E.U. is not like the U.S.A., maybe in 50-75 years time … each country is independent in particular in foreign policy. Is more free trade with

    free movement of goods, capital and people within the E.U. borders, 27 countries
    - I am living in one of those countries, but will not tell you more to prevent being recognized by the local Bethel
    - My siblings, as you say, being my bros and sisters NO, they ave not left the Org with us. Only myself, my wife, our kids and their respective

    mates.
    - Left mom, dad, my bros, my in-lows (my wife’s sisters and their families) are basically all still JW

    How I realized that the FDS is not god’s channel and how all of us (my family) ended up leaving the Org., will be treated separately … but not tonight.
    Here it is already 11 P.M. now!

    Will try to be with you in the next few days.

    Now my turn:
    How does it work here, who is running this forum, who are the mods, are there any written “regulations” or spelled out “objectives” or “mission”?

    Nice to read your reactions, and hope I can be of help in one way or another.

    AND THANK YOU FOR THE WARM WELCOME !!!
    Nick!

    The regulations can be read at the "Terms of use" not sure who the Mods are but I am sure they will make themselves known. I Would also be interested in hearing your story. I would say the mission is just be yourself and try not to be a raging jerk (which I am guilty of).
