C'mon, dost, I can see you through the monitor. Don't act like you're not reading this. Click the link. That's right, move the mouse over...good...good....Now click!

Oh, yeah. I've posted who I am multiple times. Let's see that from an actual "witness". Talk about lies and distortions. The people on this site are here to heal and help one another from tyranny, fear, abuse and pain.

You may know by now that most of the 'information' posted to the forum is not true, and that it would be totally ludicrous if it were not so full of hopelessness, hatred and outright wickedness, and that reading it only deepens your despair.

Really? Prove it.

You also know that going to the Kingdom Hall and/or approaching the elders in the congregation of your choice will be the start of extricating yourself from whatever disastrous situation you have gotten yourself into The initiatives should come from you.

No, I don't know that. How the hell is going to a bunch of uneducated janitors going to help me? Uneducated Janitors who have covered for child molesters for decades, who send women back to abusive husbands? Who have told parents to let their children die rather than recieve vaccinations, transplants, or blood in a constantly changing doctrine, or they will lose their entire families.social circles, and be "spiritually dead?

Tell me, how exactly is that going to help again?

Sounds good, but the tragedy is that so often it's true!

To those who are ex witnesses whose hearts may be recoverable.

That is why the elders didn't know jack about the UN situation when I asked them...or they couldn't answer me about the numerous misquotes I found in various publications...and why my own mother who is a registered nurse can't even follow the changes in the blood policy. There is no malice in my heart though...if someone who I knew as a witness called me tomorrow to just talk then I wouldn't angrily hang up on them but instead welcome the call even if I rather not be preached to.

As for any "disastrous situations" I am in, I laugh because I came a lot closer to a mental breakdown as a JW...now, I am making friends that aren't the Watchtower's "worldy drug using" image of every non-witness. The fact that you immediately pigeonhole all former witnesses here as inept spiteful losers shows that you should open your eyes and acknowledge that the people here aren't some archetype that you have been fed for years but instead living humans who couldn't get answers in the places they trusted most. How can you offer help to anyone when you already dismiss them?
