    If I had any delusions left, they are all gone, these WT articles were the GB is claiming divine support, are so appalling. I am not buying any more into this crap! JW these days only need 8 paragraphs to explain they have exchanged Christ's rulership for following the lead of Gerrit Lösch and his 7 fellows. What was it again they hold against catholics and other christians? following men instead of Christ?

    JWoods, you beat me to it! It's disgusting, sickening. Hoffnung, welcome to the board. I'm glad you're conscious. This is just the beginning of your ride.

    Hello Hoffnung

    The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Or the turn of your ignition key, if you have a car.

    You have made that first step. I hope you enjoy the ride.

    Watch-out for the nutters. They are easy to spot, by the strange head-gear they wear!

    Hello all,

    thank you for the support. It was some story I wrote as 1st post, but I need to "unload" some stuff. We are indeed married, and I am happy we did. It took some time to break my thoughts about our religion to her, and we had lots of discussions since. As most of you must remember, it is shocking, to learn that many doctrines are not bible based, and as it was a shock for me, it also is one for her. the discussions these days are not about the doctrines, she is not into that, it is more about the effect it has and will have on our lives. there is this continuous fear we will loose our friends and family. She is not very happy I registered today on this board, but we agreed to disagree.

    Welcome to freedom of thinking !!

    You are well on your way to rethink everything that you believe it. Dont be afraid to go over all of your beliefs to verify all of them (including the bible).

    Welcome to the forum. Thanks actually for the long first post. It's great to learn something from a newbie when they start contributing.

    She is not very happy I registered today on this board, but we agreed to disagree.

    My JW wife still doesn't know I am registered here or what this forum is. She knows I find support on the evil internet, but no specifics.

    ...And I discovered I could not bring myself to go in Field service any more. My conscience was bothering me I was trying to spread a message I could not support any more. Despite some weak efforts in the beginning from well intended brs, which did not last very long, nobody bothers me any more, and the secretary does not ask for my report either.

    I bid you welcome, Hoffnung.

    I totally get where you are coming from there. One day I just crashed into an even deeper depression than I was in already and I ended up dropping FS cold turkey. After a while I could simply not go back to it at all. I also endured a few weak attempts from others to bring me back into the fold but eventually I just stopped attending meetings altogether.

    Stick around. Keep reading and keep posting. It's nice to meet you!
