I'm new here...
by sniperdoc inhello to all on this website.
a brief intro...i am 30, was df'd at 26 (on my b-day no less) should have been df'd a long time ago.
i have no complaints about being out of the organization now, however the initial shock going through the loss of friends and family took some time to get over.

Since You've Been "Out"----Do You Feel Better About Yourself???

it's great knowing that leaving the organization has not produced our "weeping and gnashing of the teeth" as we might once have believed.

I think the way I was raised left me with a weakness to having low self esteem. But, as time goes by, I feel better and better about myself. The best part is that I don't have anyone beating me over the head with everything that I "should" be doing! Living life, being a good person, and not being made to feel guilty all the time is truly a great feeling!

Daughter Has Lump On Throat
by Corvin inlast week, my middle daughter, 15, found a large lump in her throat.
it was about the size of a quarter.
when she pointed it out, it was very visible.. the doctor said, after viewing the ultra-sound pics, that it was either a cyst with an unusual hardened mass inside or a carsanoma, [not sure of spelling] a cancer attached to her thyroid.

JW's are fascinated with misery! This is what drove my daughter away from them. I got df'd, and when ever she saw the family and dubs would stop by etc, they would pretend to be interested and ask all about me and how I was. But later, if she went out in service (dad still JW) they would talk all about other people and their problems. She got old enough to figure out that the info she gave them about me what what they would talk about in service when she wasn't there. She said they would hash all the details over and then everybody would give their disapproving opinions etc. How they disgust me!

Welcome! For me it was the injustice and lack of love I witnessed and was affected by personally. My ex husband/elder had an affair with my best friend, also a regular pioneer, was emotionally and physically abusive my entire marriage. All o this came out about the abuse, the elders did nothing. They then wrote the society, and they came back and said that they really could not get involved in a marrital dispute. He was stalking me at the time, police repts accrued up the wazoo and still they said that there was nothing anyone could do. Then, he beat my mother and myself up...need I say more!? So here came my realization: The society could tell me what kind of sex I was allowed to have (no masterbation or oral sex etc), but they could not intervene when bodily harm was involved!!! What hypocrites!!! My stint at bethel didn't help either. It was the most political and gossipy place I have ever seen in my life.
I hope your wife will see the "real" truth and get out of there! Good luck!

OMG Blondie! I almost forgot those days!!!! I was still a kid...sat there for 8 days in an outdoor stadium either freezing at night or frying in the sun during the day. And lets not forget my mother pinching my arm everytime I squirmed! After 1 day, I was an all over bruise, and by day eight, I was completely comatose! Oh how I hated them!
