  hey, just thought i'd do a quick intro, share some song lyrics that have spoken to me, and then have a look around.

  my name's erin/froggi, and i've been disfellowshipped for 4 years, since i was 19 years old.

  i was raised a jw, and my homelife was actually quite idyllic, typical 50s sitcom stuff, like the cleavers.

  i don't think i've ever posted here, in ten years of being out of the religion.

  well, i won't be able to say that again.

  anyway, elsewhere and i just "met" online today, even though we've actually been cousins for a few decades.

  Another Newbie :)

  it's hard to know where to begin, so i'll just... begin.. i had my first encounter with jw in high school when my now ex-husband moved into our small town.

  (you're doing the math already, aren't ya?

  :) ) after finding out he was a jw, i did a little bit of reading into it, which he discouraged... told me that that stuff is "apostate" (i had no idea what that meant) and that he'd give me stuff to read.

  Rachel, welcome to the board. It sounds like you've been through an awful lot of grief. (((hugs))) I hope it'll start getting better for you now that you've quit trying to please the JWs.

  Hello ..Im Mentalist

  by mentalist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after starting a thread yesterday and taking in the various responses i feel i should set the record straight on a couple of things.over the last couple of days aswell as here i have joined jwo and slippys too.im not a troll but im not a board virgin either.these three particular sites have been mentioned to me (not quite recommended)by an ex-witness, so i thought id have a look see for myself.

  it feels like i know several characters already very well (having had indepth conversations about them)but im very suprised at the size of the community you have here.i was raised a witness but never baptised.family still all are and in fairness treat me very well as do members of my old congregation when i bump into them.i guess thats enough for now,cant be giving too much away this is the internet after all.

  btw..at times i realise i am not the best speller in the world(i struggled all the way through school),but to those people who replied to my thread just to point that out..bite me!your no different than the the type of elder who completely missed the point of how hard it was being a young jw but still took great pleasure in telling you how sports socks were not appropriate attire for the meetings.sheesh.

  Tweetybird,

  LOL That was a funny story. Although I know it would've been aggravating at the time. It took 2 years for them to leave us alone, too.

  if it were not for all of the very hard work that simon does behind the scenes to keep this forum up, much of the other work others are doing could never have happened.. this site serves as an excellent central location for us all to communicate and exchange thoughts and ideas about how to expose the evil ways of the wts.. simon, thank you very much!

  Auld Soul, we know how much it hurts when long-time friends turn their back on you. There is hope that they'll see through it too, someday.

  You're presence has definitely been missed here on the board. ((((Hugs))))
