Just do what you think is right. As long as you feel good about what you are doing and you think it is right then it doesn't matter what everybody else thinks. There is no sense in making others happy if you are miserable.

Your Existing Situation
- Dissatisfied. The need to escape continued involvement with his present circumstances makes it imperative for him to find some solution.
Your Stress Sources
- Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and to stand out from the herd. This desire for preeminence isolates him and inhibits his readiness to give himself freely. While he wants to surrender and let himself go, he regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, he feels, will lift him above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality.
Your Restrained Characteristics
- Wants to broaden his fields of activity and insists that his hopes and ideas are realistic. Distressed by the fear that he may be prevented from doing what he wants; needs both peaceful conditions and quiet reassurance to restore his confidence.
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Sensitive and sentimental, but conceals this from all except those very close to him.
Your Desired Objective
- Needs a peaceful environment. Wants release from stress, and freedom from conflicts or disagreement. Takes pains to control the situation and its problems by proceeding cautiously. Has sensitivity of feeling and a fine eye for detail.
Your Actual Problem
- Wants to be valued and respected, and seeks this from a close and peaceful association of mutual esteem.

An Introduction
by Granny Linda inhello.. after lurking around for some time decided to join.
i've been df for 32 years...and glad for it.. i'd pretty much laid the jw stuff to rest until last year when my older sister, after years of absence from my life, made comment to me about "struggling with the truth.
" i took it upon myself to begin some research and have been "hooked" on these type forums since.

Simon, You Are Very Welcome!
by YoursChelbie ini've been posting for a little over a month and i honestly feel that my transition from "nominal jw" into the "real world" would not have been as smooth (or fun) were it not for this forum!
i clicked on the tiny, credit card logo on the top right corner and made a small contribution to help our friend simon with the monthly maintenance of this forum.
i will try to remember to contribute something every moth at least, as my circumstances allow.

I think I am going to piggy back on your idea of a contribution every month. I am new here but my wife has been here for sometime now. My wife is a ex-JW and this site along with the comment of all the members have helped her in remarkable ways to cope with her past as well. My thanks to everyone!

The media and others have been noisely waking up the dead in the case of the Catholic church. If the government is not going after them, explain to me why the government will go after the corporate WTS or its Sanhedrin, or for that matter a whole host of other religious groups with similar pedophile problems?
So if there is a serious problem going on then are you saying just leave it alone? Do you think the government will get involved if nobody says anything? Do you think the WTS will change the doctrine if there are no complaints? Do you think it is right to send CRIMINALS door to door, to church gatherings, etc? Do you think it is right to allow CRIMINALS to walk the streets so they can commit another crime?
4skin, you got issues!

Great letter!
I agree that if enough people bring light onto the situation, something will be done to correct the issue. And people like me that have no ties to religion at all will support all of you out there that are trying to do what is right.
