It will be 10 years in May that I have been on this site. I don't post like I used to buy coming and reading everyday keeps me informed. The religion has changed so much since I left 13 years ago. Regardless...it is still a cult.

i've been here forever.... this site still gives us some of the most up to date info about jws .
it keeps evolving.
sometimes it is the place to be and i think that's especially true for newbies.
have i ever told ya'll about my grande ma ma?
my daddy's mother?
i can't recall.
many other so called ice cream at grocery stores as well.
have you noticed how it seems to be different than from a couple years ago?
that it doesn't melt, it just warms up and becomes like a whipped cream texture?
need to put it in writing.
i think of it every day.
i know so many of us have gone through this, but it sure hurts.
Ohhhhh.......and by the way.......I have lost 40 pounds since August and still have a way to go to reach my goal with a great diet that I never go hungry with and go to the local YMCA 4 to 5 days a week to use the treadmills and recumbent bikes and a few cable weight machines. I am feeling great at 66 years of age. Oh oh.....YMCA....I might get DF'd. lol Who gives a f--k? Life is good!

this was just said to me by a friend who was disfellowshipped just over 2 years ago.
she just had a miscarriage, and her partner dumped her rather than supported her through this process.
she told her jw parents, and they refuse to even call her or offer her any emotional support.
I learned from experience that any Christian non denoninational church will give you more support the all the KH's I've eve been to. I love the church that I go to for the past 7 years. There is genuine love and concern there without judgement for whatever is going on in your life. They follow what the Bible says.....not what Brooklyn says. So........my suggestion is to join a tradional type local church just as NAVYTOWN said.

i was wondering how helpful telephone social groups would be?
i have heard that people feel staying on jwn to long causes them to feel depression.
is it possible that being in front of a computer to often can make one feel depressed?
if anyone knows mouthy/grace gough, it would be awesome if someone would look in on her.
she is feeling the effects of the ice storm and is all alone and it is christmas eve.
i just sent her an email and received this reply back:.
a friend of mine recently had his co visit and in the elders meeting the co out-right asked the question: how are the friends doing in your cong.
as regards pursuing higher education?
the co continued...you know in view of all the counsel from the slave regarding the dangers.
