I doubt many have gone back. I have been here since 2004 and rarely ever post. However I still visit this site regularly and read what others have to say. I would never go back for any reason.

98I think many of you will return to the religion one day
by free2beme ini don't mean this as an insult, more of a life experience thing.
i saw a lot of people leave in my years there and a lot were angry with the religion and the people, and some even protested the kingdom halls and wrote things in the newspapers.
a lot though, came back in time, as it was just the comfort zone they felt at ease in.

I can relate to this. Yesterday I left my house to drive 90 minutes to a friend's house where I was staying the night. The following day I was going to have to drive another 3.5 hours to a work related training session. I found out at 11 pm last night that I left my bag with all my tolietries (including prescription meds) at home. My husband got up at 4 am and drove 3 hours roundtrip to retrieve that bag - just so I wouldn't have to drive 6.5 hours later in the day. (I love that man!) I feel like I am losing my mind (and yes, I am in my early 40s). Perhaps are brains are just getting full? I wish I could purge some of the un-useful information I have stored.

These stories are being regurgitated for the new ones. One would think they could make up better, more believable stories.

My son was murdered today
by truman ini have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

Dear Truman,
I think of you often when one of my JW family members sends out info about what happened. I was reading the guestbook online and the last time I looked, there were 277 entries.

I didn't read every page, but I am thinking I know where this happened in California. A friend of mine knew the deputy who was murdered at the same time. My heart goes out to you Truman and the family of the deputy.

Mem invitations
by AnonJW ini have heard quite a few reports of how the invitation work has not been carried out as enthusiastically as it was last year.
during the 2011 campaign, many due to the reduced hour requirement pioneered for the month, some congregations had over 50% of its members doing this.
this year it has all changed, and even though some have made an extra effort, not nearly as many as did last year.

Question about the memorial :)
by TimothyT ini have no doubt that in a few weeks when the campaign to spread memorials invites is underway that my good friend, the jw, will give me an invitation.
she has already told me that she would support me when walking in, telling me that i could sit next to her and she wouldnt give a damn what others would think that she was encouraging a disfellowshipped person.
she is very sweet, and i appreciate her thoughts.. however, i would rather not go because i believe the whole thing is done wrong anyway.

The first one you miss is the hardest. However, it gets easier every year you do not attend and pretty soon you wonder why you every thought attending was important. I haven't gone since 2003 and, except for finding out the date on this site, I don't think about it one bit.
