The JW group had 221 members, and the ex-JW one had, guess what... 3300 members!
LOL, yep I'd believe that.
More out than in.

That's nice youd buy your ex's family houses, I wouldn't buy one for my ex's, my ex's family made it quite known that they did not like me. Made life difficult for me no matter what I did.
My ex though definately, let him pick whatever he wanted and furnish it for him, get him all the staff he needed to make his life comfortable.

Believe It or Not!
by Steve Egner indriving home after a long bike ride last sunday, i turned onto my street, just a couple of blocks from my home.
clad only in lycra bike shorts and jersey, i had my window down, my shades on, and a nice endorphin buzz from a great outing.
without warning, a large, dense, golf ball sized pine cone from one of our towering neighborhood evergreens careened through my window like a meteor, and nailed me right on my left testicle.

Hi orbi,
Know just how you feel, going through the same at the moment, DF'ed 8 weeks now. I find it real had at times, i'm a single mum with two little kids as well so it makes it really hard to make new friends too.
I've joined my local ex-jw group which has helped immensly, we met up for the first time on the weekend and that was great.
his is the site, just type in jehovah in the search function and you'll get the ex- JW meet up group, just fing the one in your local area and join.
As far as family goes im still having a real hard time dealing with that. Icontacted some famiy members who have already left the Borg but they live in another state, am hoping to visit them over the christmas holidays.
Hang in there it does get easier. If you need to talk just email me [email protected] or PM me.
Lehaa.

Convention Drama creeps out JWs?
by ezekiel3 ini am getting news from jws who have attended the district convention that the drama (which is pre-recorded and played to lip-syncing actors) has a demon-possessed woman with a ?demonic voice?.
can anyone confirm this?
it is said to be pretty creepy sound effect and many jws are uncomfortable when they hear it.

I would like to know ,what they are trying to accomplish by scaring the crap out of kids. They are Nuts, i mean it. Those poor kids going home and having nightmares of satan taken them over. Those idiots never fall to amaze me, no wonder they have a high rate of mental problems.
I had a friend that had to stop reading the bible stoires boo to her kids at night because it gave them nightmares. Scary dramas yuk, I suppose if my kid started to get scared and scream averyone would just took as if it was real cute that they were scared.

I have a friend here with ADHD with the same problem, the only meds that work for him are not on the subsidy lists here so he can't afford to buy them when he's not working, but can not work without them.

I feel good
by DanTheMan inafter a couple of days away from the board and doing some hard thinking and contemplation about my life, and reading (though i'm not done yet and the conclusion may turn out to be a letdown) a fabulously insightful book called the courage to be, a funny thing has happened...i feel as sane, calm, and alive as i've felt in years, maybe ever.
maybe this is a manic episode or something.
probably not because i'm not really doing anything productive nor am i making any grandiose plans.

I have no health insurance
That's gotta suck.
One reason I'm glad I live in Australia, healthcare is relatively free.
Hope you find something that helps and is affordable.
Have you tried Lexapro, It's what I'm on and works great for me.

Were You Treated With Respect When Counseled By The Elders?
by minimus ini knew a certain few elders that really got off by "talking down" to the "flock".
many elders were pretty nice guys but a few could turn----just like that!
what was your experience with "those taking the lead", the "loving shepherds"???

Depends on who it was. Some were very sincere, others were assholes.
