Welcome LarryCope to this forum. Since my wife and I left the borg we now have several gay friends. We have learned so much from them. Biggest thing we have learned is they are just people. One dear friend of ours lost her wife to be on x-max day. I had the privilege to give the memorial talk. There was over 100 in attendance. I gave a UU sermon saying a prayer at the end. I will never forget that day. Thank-you for sharing your experience with us. Take care and have a great day. Still Totally ADD

New to site...let me intro myself
by LarryCope infirst, i've been out of the organization for 20 years this very year!
i was baptized in 1979 and attended one of the lancaster ohio congregations.
realizing i was gay, i left and after being in the columbus gay community for 6 months, decided bar hopping and cruising was not my cup o' tea.i decided to return in late '90 and was reinstated in '91.

My avatar name tells the tale about me. I take 20 mg. of Ritalin every day. It has changed my life. Just ask my wife. I did not know I had ADD until I was 55 years old. I am now going on 63. Thom Hartman has several good books on this subject. Just google his name. What I have learned about this condition is people who have it are some of most creative people around and have a ability to multitask. Just some of the positive things about ADD. Good luck with your child. What a wonderful gift you have. Still Totally ADD

My Story
by WeatherLover ini'm a 4th generation jw.
i started to realize it wasn't the truth over 2 years ago in late october/early november 2014. i don't know how exactly it happened.
i remember i had just heard about confirmation bias, and it hit me: i realized that i would be guilty of confirmation bias if i didn't look at the other side.

What has been your own personal experience of shunning?
by UnshackleTheChains ini am interested in finding out on a small scale the extent of which shunning has impacted on you personally.. my own experience is that when i faded about 12 years ago.
the woman whose house the book study was held at (and who was virtually a neighbour) walked right past me in my own street.
i remember it so well.

I dream about my two adult boys come to see my wife and I and they will not speak to us. I have this dream about two or three times a week. They both have missed a lot not talking to us. Mostly how happy we are not being in the cult any more and our hope they will escape it also. We truly raised them to well in the cult. I missed them alot. I hope they wake up before we grow to old and die. Still Totally ADD

Today on National Geo. TV they was showing a male fish that mates with its counter part female fish until it dies. After death it dries up until only its sex organ is the only thing left. The female fish can still mate with this dried up sex organ as long as it wants. When my wife and I heard that we both laughed and asked ourselves what was god thinking when he created this fish. I guess the flood really missed up these fish sex life. LOL. Still Totally ADD

Sometimes I think the WT is mocking the masses
by NikL inas in today's study.... 18 to lie is to say something untruthful.
(as in millions now living will never die, this generation will by no means pass away, allegations of pedophile abuse of children in congregations is apostate lies) however, jehovah wants his people to go beyond not telling outright lies.
he urged the ancient israelites: “you should be holy, because i, jehovah your god, am holy.” then he gave examples of being holy.

Witness weddings
by dothemath inrecently went to a witness wedding, and after the vows the bride and groom were introduced as "brother and sister".....(then last name).....(then the big kiss).
this is likely not unusual (i've heard it before), but with lots of "worldly" people in attendance it seems out of place to me.. i was just wondering if that's the way it is most places?.

When my wife and I was married in the kingdom Hall we was introduced as Mr. And Mrs. ADD. But that was back in 1974. If they are using brother and sister, to me that is cult talk for them. You got to keep your distance from those worldly people. LOL. Still Totally ADD

This site should be called Anti-Jehovahs-Witnesses Cry-babies
by the-Question inso, you left because of a bad example(s).. why all the whining?
nothing better to do with your time?.
you at least know far more about the bible than any church-goer?.

We all left for various reasons. If some appeared like cry babies I am sure it was because of the extreme abuse they went through by the hands of the wt. This site is a site for healing for many of us so all I can tell you whoever you are is to back off and go out and get a life. Still Totally ADD
