In the Spanish side, completely oblivious. The few that know about it, consider it as just one more persecution campaign from Satan and his followers. Complete denial.
There are no more blind than those who refuse to see.

For some crazy reason, my iPad will not open attachments. Can someone please show them up?
Last week was announced a new meeting on a Saturday once per month to watch the JW broadcast. Now there's a meeting I will never attend!

Going!
Always being the most polite, welcoming, talkative, dutiful, JW wifey. In my mind will be the nice restaurant that we will go to afterwards with family and close friends. Same like in all assemblies and other JW gatherings; taking the socializing and paying no mind to all other doctrinal bs.

In the Spanish side, the few that even heard about it have dismissed it as just one more satanic plot to smear God's people. Unreal!!!

In the Spanish congs and the JWs I hang out with are absolute ignorant of all abuse cases, the UN scandal, and every other vitriolic stuff against the Org. The Spanish brotherhood is sooooooooooo different!!!

Why do people "come back"?
by kairos ini know of several examples of ones that "left the truth" for up to 20 years, only to suffer through the reinstatement process and feel like they are finally back on track.. how does this happen?.
i personally know of one example where a father of three, leaves jws, abandons wife and family, lives as a gay man then comes back 20 years later as a partaking member of the anointed..

Indoctrination digs deep, deep, deep inside and it is so very difficult to remove.
I secretly feel sorry for the ones coming back; asking out loud inside myself "WHYYY???!!! I make it a point not welcome them back, just politely greet them as time goes on and I bump into them.

For all still in.... fakers. Help.
by Sofia Lose inam i alone in this feeling?
i wish i could muster the cojones needed to tell my husband "i want a divorce, move away, not be a jw anymore!".
i find myself screaming these same words over and loud inside my mind, several times a day, and yet on the outside my actions could not be more opposed to these inner feelings.. sometimes i worry that this internal conflict will cause me to go crazy.

Oh the trolls.... The trolls.....
This WID character sure has a fine looking high horse.
My hubby and I communicate quite well, and he sure knows I don't buy the last days, no higher education, early age baptisms, and other crazy crap in this religion; what he does not imagine is that I am so far detached that I no longer wish to sell this bull to another soul.
Him, my family and even some friends are worth the sacrifice. However, some days more than others is just so difficult living a lie.
Thank you all for reassuring me that this is not my struggle alone. The time will come when I will break free. I know it will.

Reading your comments makes me calm down and put things in perspective.
My husband is an awesome fellow and in my heart of hearts I feel I do not deserve him and I will probably never find another one like him. However, being the dedicated respected elder he is, it would be miserable for us both if I were to leave the religion. For one, he would lose all his privies, and I tell you he is hook line and sinker in this org; he is part of the Warwick construction big time, assemblies arrangements, one of the heavies if this region. It would hurt me emotionally to know that he lost it all because of me, so I continue to gang in there.
I am getting older, though, and this faking crap is not agreeing with me as of late.

Is disfellowshipping as popular as it was years ago?
by minimus ini seldom hear of people getting df'd anymore.
years ago it seemed there were a few per year in a congregation.

In the Spanish congs where I attend, it would take an act of congress to get disfellowshipped. I mean, it is of public knowledge of young people that are of have fornicated, married ones who have committed adultery and even, yes, a man that has clearly been arrested, jailed, in the newspapers for child abuse and we are still awaiting for disfellowship announcements, and nothing comes.
Mind you that these acts have gone on for a long period of time. When I bring it up to my husband or other elders they just say that I do not know all the details of if the brothers/sisters have repented. What a crock of bull!!!
