  My First Birthday.....

  by The Marvster in

  i awoken today and realised immidiately i'm 44 today... and after 3 years of being out, decided to acknowledge my birthday.... i'm off out to treat myself to a big hearty breakfast with cup of tea in the local weatherspoon's by the massive pond full of weird bird-life, later today i'm giving myself a gift of a 90 minute relaxation session in a float tank down by canary wharf in london.... only really have 2 close friends (it's a slow process trusting people agian) and they probably won't be able to see me today, but i'm sure i'll have a belated surprise from them both.... the first thing i did when i remembered was to rush to the computer, connect to the web and put on stevie wonder's 'happy birthday', as i listen to it, tears stream down my face... all those years of my life stolen ' but..... i'm free....'.

  i wanted to introduce myself.

  like many of you i was born-in, am married with one child.

  after 36 years of this cycle: doubts-thought stopping- suppression- indoctrination-cult mode i realised enough was enough.

  Yey another new member! Welcome John Free!

  I too escaped with my family (husband and two children) over a year ago. It's fabulous isn't it?! Obviously some rough points along the way but all worth it and just having the pleasure of knowing my girls can lead a normal life watchtower free is amazing.

  Look forward to hearing your story 😊

  Welcome heartsafire. Always love a first post!

  Me and my husband are both out now for over a year. I had doubts my whole life like you and still got baptised. I wore away at my husband over the years with my constant complaints and questions without really realising what I was doing! I told him not long after my first child was born that I didn't want to go to meetings anymore....He was ok with it said it was up to me....then I was stupidly convinced to go back by his mother. When I was pregnant with our second, he found out about the NGO UN thing from a random post on facebook and it spiraled from there. Now both of us are free! I'm glad I waited though as I expect he would still be in today if I had left properly before him. He would be on the defensive all the time.

  Sorry to be long winded but I just wanted to let you know there is hope for your husband and your marriage.

  I hope things go well with you. Take it slow and who knows what will happen.

  1914 'Big A' WT Retraction/Apology?!

  by lurkernomore in

  so i just met with an old 'friend' who wanted a 'chat' after no contact for the best part of 4 years.

  she obviously heard about the wonderful news of my abrupt fade :d. i guess i wanted to prove to myself that any future meet ups/chats with jw's would be pointless.

  needless to say i proved myself right.

  Such a waste of time. I was very cross with you lurker for letting your dinner get cold in favour of talking to that "friend". Grrr!

  Oh my word that's horrendous. I cannot comprehend such coldness coming from the people who are meant to love you most.

  I'm so sorry for both your loss and for the way you found out.

  Large Increase in Trolley Witnessing

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when the org implements its bethelite "genocide" and demotes many members of the "worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovahs witnesses" into lowly regular pioneers, many more trollies will have to be found in order for such ones to rack up their required monthly hours.. how many are actually going to be shocked by this into waking up?

  ask any jw the question "why do jehovah's witnesses impose their views on others?

  we do not impose our views on anyone!".

  do you impose your views on others?
