  hello,forum.my name is dallas and i live in oklahoma.i left the jehovahs witnesses in 1998 after a former member showed me the 1925 false prophecy.i knew circuit overseer william osbeck very well,he left my circuit only to be replaced with brother"if you knock the society i will scream"boatz.he was nothing but a first class coward.he wouldnt even meet with me after i had disassociated myself.i have no regrets about leaving,why didnt my conducters bring up the 1925 failure while i was studying?they failed to mention it.anyway i am glad to be free.god bless you all.-dallas

  Have others given up trying to communicate their feelings?

  i don't think i'll be listened to any more, my story is not worth telling, it is too complex, it causes me too much sadness to try to relate it, too much shame and too much internal pain.

  am i the only one that feels that they have given up trying to communicate their feelings here anymore?

  like my personality is a sham, i do my best to cope, to be happy, to be this cantankerous old sod that tries to make out to everyone i'm doing well, but ..... anyone?

  Celtic,

  yes there are others who feel as you do and can identify with your thoughts and feelings.Seems many of us here have alot that we could tell about our trial and woes.And I think that we all just let out little bits of it at a time.

  You have alot of wonderful humor that picks up others. I hope that though your feeling down right now that things will turn around.

  P.s. sorry i left chat i had company.

  Hi, I'm new to the site, and kind of don't understand...

  i was just curious as to the aim of this website?

  i thought it was a discussion board for those interested in/ for jehovah's witnesses, but it seems like you're all former jehovah's witnesses?

  so is this site just to bash jehovah's witnesses?

  hello my- journey and welcome to this site,

  I think what you may be seeing here is that many of us are in pain from this religion.We have lost so much to it because of the shunning and disfellowshipping.

  Once you are a baptized witness you cannot leave without loosing the love and support of all those who are jws.You no longer have the a choice to change your mind.

  Shunning is a terrible thing and causes much hurt pain and yes anger.

  I have an add in the paper,have put up business cards everywhere I can think of.

  And even done some (door to door) canvasing of neighborhoods handing out my business cards.

  This is very disconcerting to me.I believe because of having an ex who had total controll of all money and how it was spent.I was not allowed any money or even the controll to buy our groceries without him being present to monitor.

  Grrrrrrr,,,

  I am taking some of this time off to work on another business idea ive been playing around with.

  I do feel though that it has given me some insight into how people can feel down and useless when they arnt working,

  Ohhh and any other ideas anyone can think of to advertise my availibility to possible clients would be appreciated.

  Thankyou for letting me vent,

  Experiences Dating after leaving.......

  2. friends

  i am going to embark on an adventure of dating outside of the jw's, i am currently fading so worried people will see me, but so be it.

  i have some apprehension just because of all the negetive conitations that exist with worldly people, afraid i will never meet someone outside the organization that could meet my needs.

  but i am taking a leap of faith and seeing what will happen.
