    Hi, after a couple of years of 'lurking' I thought I'd join up. I'm an ex-dub from Vancouver Island. I've been out of the org for aprox' 10 yrs, after being in it for about 28 years.

    I Post on "Jehovahs Witness Recovery forum" as 'Nightgoat', so I thought I'd wander over here & see how you guys are doing.

    Recently under went some major shunning from parents & siblings & retaliated with a barrage of 'reverse-shunning' in an effort to teach them how to treat my wife & I.

    Hope I can be of some encouragement to any, on this board.

    My daughter has been a member here for 3 yrs. She goes by "sarahbear 76".

    peace,

    Rumspringa

    Hello and welcome, Rumspringa!

    At present we can not add or change avatars or profiles, this format is sort-of the "make-do" until Sir Simon gets all the bells and whistles back in place.

    jamie,

    I choose "rumspringa" because of it's definition as the period when amish youth get to run wild in the world. They then have to decide whether they want to stay out in it, or come crawling back to the confines of their belief system.

    I'll never set foot in a KH again, after the damage they've done to myself & me family. (long story)

    peace,

    r.
