  Yes... it true ANOTHER Jw / XJW kills himself.

  I saw him in Kells Irish pub in February. There is a cigar room in the basment there. He was puffing away, as I was...I looked over at him and his new girl friend. We looked at each other...It had been over 7 years....so another person in my JW pass shows up.

  Wow! I think since he is smoking, he is got to be out too....WRONG he tells me how bad he feels for leaving the JW's and he wants his new girl friend to start " A Home Bible Study" with you know who.

  "Are you nuts" I say "Yes" he says he "KNOWS he can't live up to their standards but he can't live in the "World" either.

  So I see one more person living in JW "Hell" He can't live in their Hell or the real world either....I quess their was only one thing left to do....and he did it...He choose death over pain!

  I been off the board for over 6 months, I come back to find that Simon wants to shut this board down!

  A borard that has saved 100's of people lives!......Real lifes.....real people.....

  And why?

  He too is choosing DEATH OVER PAIN....

  It is a major "pain" in the ass to run this board.

  Simon what is ONE persons life worth?

  Simon thank you for starting this board....And if you don't want mess with it anymore...find and God bless....But is your ego so big, that you think no one else on this planet has the ability to run this board as good as you?..I'm glad your life is good now...So why not let other people get to were you are at now, my friend!

  Think about it and what your going to do next...you have real peoples lifes in your hands....

  It's to late for Rich Templet.

  I'm so sorry about your friend.

  I've been in Kells before.

  Simon is shutting down the site because he and his family have been threatened by bad guys using the site to threaten him.

  He doesn't want to sell it because...I forgot, but I remember not exactly agreeing with the reason given.

  It's not because of ego he's shutting it down.

  There are other sites that have sprung up in answer to the unfortunate closure on X-mas.

  The one that looks like this one and has over 120 posters on it already is jwsupportforum.ulmb.com.

  Another one is exjehovahswitnessforum.yuku.com

  There are others that you can see on the topics list.

  New Boy,

  I am sorry about your friend. Here is a website that offers counseling for JWs trying to leave. You may want to check it out and pass on the info to others.

  “When I first came out of the religion I went from having this great support network to having nothing,” says Ms Underhill. “All my friends, family and people from the church didn’t want to know me.” The site she created, called exJW-Reunited.co.uk, is now a year old and has recently started to offer Britain’s first ever live online counselling service for ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses.

  Once a week, Lisa Magdalena, a qualified counsellor who ran away from the sect aged 16, is online to answer questions and provide support to anyone in the process of leaving – from finding new friends and a place to live, to dealing with the hurt and guilt of being cut off from family.

  “Witnesses are taught never to seek help, which is why I’m so passionate about this website,” says Ms Magdalena. “There are really high rates of suicide and depression among people that leave, and I want to be able to help people to get their lives back on track.”

  Ms Magdalena, 38, has seen first-hand the tragedy that the religion’s extreme code can wreak on families. In the 1970s, when she was just two years old, her father, Keith Playford, died. He had continually refused blood transfusions that would have saved his life after a simple dental procedure to remove teeth went wrong. Just before he died, doctors made legal history by forcing him to receive blood, to no avail.
