Welcome True North!!!!!!!!
I like the idea that was mentioned about having all meet in a group. I wish I would have had that option. You can talk about all the things that upset you or scare you or disgust you. You won't have any fear of anyone telling on you when you really spill out everything. It will bring out tears and laughter at times. Good luck with you all!

Welcome ZeroKool29!!!
I had some dealings with the elders and did some things I shouldn't have done. But because of the things I did wrong, it helped me to get out of there. I started thinking more. I'm not proud of alot of my actions, but I am glad to be free now. It's sad that something bad had to happen to set me free.

Years ago my husband and I were publicly reproved. We had gone out with some "worldly friends" from work and went dancing and had a few drinks too many. Well someone must have been around to see us and told the elders. We were brought in and talked to and then they decided we needed to be publicly reproved. The day of the announcement meeting, I was sooo upset that I couldn't eat. At the meeting when they announced it, I started to cry. My husband was grinding his teeth. I could see his face all red. That was really hard to go through. It just opens up all kinds of possibilities for gossip among the friends. Did any of you ever get publicly reproved?

What Is The Stupidest Rule You've Encountered As a Witness?
by minimus inone rule that i never could understand is that if you were studying with an unbelieving husband, you could associate with him, even as couples, but if a person was considered a "weak" witness, it was best to avoid any association until that person changed......what dumb rule or belief comes to your mind??

generation change
by littlemike inhello this is my first topic on this forum.. i left the jws 18 months ago and am still recovering.
it was after reading crisis of conscience that i was brave enough to leave although i had serious doubts before i was always scared in case it was right!!
and i was wrong.. however when they changed the generation in 1995 that caused me great trauma as i had accepted that as absolute fact and based my life on it.

I was gone before that. I sure wish I knew what my mom thought of that. But she won't talk to me....

Well at least men can touch a woman's breast and just get in trouble for uncleaness or loose conduct. According to the bible, if a woman touches a mans genitals, she should have her hand cut off........doesn't seem fair to me.

I was wondering the other day just how long Armageddon was supposed to last? How long does it take to kill billions of people? Hours or days or weeks? Did anyone ever hear someone talk about that? It would be interesting to know what other congregations have said.
