  what if the almighty gb announced that all shunning will cease, and next minute all the people who have shunned you start calling and texting saying "hi, we're baaaack, we can talk to you now!".

  .

  what would do you do, and how do you react?.

  Like an international amnesty to boost membership, attendance and ultimately, donations?

  Wouldn't that be something.

  hi, i'm a newbie around here.

  i've been reading the posts, but reluctant to step out of my safe zone.

  i definitely see how coming to a safe place to ask questions, vent, etc.

  Reconnecting with fellow faders, disassociated or disfellowshipped that were previously your JW friends can be very comforting.

  Just knowing life is not over can be a big boost.

  
  

  I went to a meet up this past summer.

  That was very productive.

  Also saw the movie today with the wife.

  Still digesting, as we have known her for about 15 years.

  She's in the film as a cameo.

  Older woman sitting in the background on the park bench.

  
  

  We attended the bookstudy and meetings for service in her home.

  With her daughter Jane, too.

  She never told us anything about how rough her life was.

  2. beliefs

  i took a hiatus from jwn because the wall started to collapse because i lost several people ive known almost my entire life.

  these were people i thought would never die, the lies told by the watchtower is unforgivable!

  there was a party i attended keeping a low profile while documenting what was said.

  From 1 to 10, how do you rate the value of the Internet in your awakening?

  as we all know, the internet is a real game-changer in allowing us to know the truth about the watch tower and its history.

  i always had doubts and it was the internet that presented me with the ever-growing number of individuals who were going through a similar struggle.. i give the internet a 9 in my awakening.

  what about you?.

  I knew I needed to hit the road before I searched the internet.
  The research was like slamming the door behind me.

  So, a 10.

  Any previous times I've doubted my decision to exit, the internet tunes me back up in about 5 minutes.
