firefox,
Welcome to JWD!
Please read Crisis of Conscience, by Raymond Franz. It will help a lot! Good luck (we can say that now) on your journey to the real truth.

37Hi,you might know my big sister..
by Firefox inim 19 and im still going to meetings.ive been sort of unhappy for a while.my older sister left the truth about 9 or 10 years ago.my brother was on her heels a couple of years later.ive been told that they were weak,selfish,posessed and drug addicts.i knew this wasnt true,they were both brilliant and caring of me.i havent spoken to them in at least 3 years.alot of gossip still circulates about them,especially sarah.she intimidated everybody and i suppose this is how they feel superior.. im rambling,sorry.im just overwhelmed.i ran into sarah at a walmart and she was radiant.i chatted her ear off for an hour and she hugged me when i cried.i told her i wanted out,that i know something isnt right but i m so scared.she suggested some of teh online groups to help.i guess she went to thomschat but thats not there anymore.she said my struggle would be different than hers because she never believed in the witnesses.i did.any advice or books to read or whatever you suggest,i just want to learn.she said crisis of conscience would probably help.okay thanks..

jb,
Good advice! I have a few friends in AA that have been sober for years and are complete athiests. The steps work if you are honest, open minded, and willing to do whatever it takes.

Oompa,
I hope that your jails are as nice as the ones we have up here (just kidding). I have a feeling they are not like the one for Otis in Mayberry! Keep remembering how awful it was, and whenever you get the urge to drink, remember where your last one landed you. I know that this in itself isn't enough to stop you from drinking again, it just might help when you have the urge to not do it.

kzjw,
Welcome to JWD!
You certainly are welcome to post. I enjoyed reading your synopsis on J. R. Brown's bovine excrement. Good luck in getting your wife out, and post freely. By freely, you dont have to pay anyone (but I take tips).

Oompa, Welcome to the club.
I got my first DUI in 1994, and it should have woke me up. It was my first brush with the law ever. I vehemently denied that I was an alcoholic, and became an even worse one trying to prove I wasn't. Please wake up now before the situation worsens for you. By the way, the reason I was disfellowshipped both times was because of getting DUI's. If it gets to the elders, you may face problems.
I will be available to talk to you tonight, just let me know if you would like that. I just got back into town a few minutes ago, and responded to your PM as soon as I got it.
I love ya bro, I know it sucks!

Eric,
If you click your heals 3 times, and say "There's no place like home," do you go back for a visit?

It looks like I will become an elder this week!
by outofthebox inthat's right guys.
as i told you before, they boe have been considering me for the eldership.
which i don't care for, but since my family is stuck in this cult, i guess i can use the new position to help them see that the holy spirit has nothing to do with me being an elder.

This is an interesting situation, ootb IS NOT reaching out, and they want him anyway. By the way, reaching out equates to sucking up in most instances. It must be that they need more elders, and their choosiness has eroded. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.
