i rented a house in the late !970's and the contents in the home were given to me.. it happened to be books: ( making my life happy, revelation, children bible stories, listening to the great teacher ) i was enjoying the reading.. -----------------------------------.
a few years later began to notice awake magazines in doctor offices, and other public places and read them and enjoyed them.. ------------------------------------.
late 1980's my 7th son was 2 yrs.
Where's the vomit bag??
alright.. i've been here for over a year.
and i guess after opening my big stupid mouth on jw's thread regarding child abuse it's time for me to share a bit more about me.... .
when i was in my preteens i ran away from home in the middle of the night.
blackswan,
Give yourself a big hug for all of us. I was sexually abuse by my stepdad, who was a MS at the time. It's hard to talk about, so I feel your pain. Over the years I tried drinking, drugs, suicide attempts, ect....Being here has helped SSSSSSSSSOOOOO much.
I'm at the point now I'll talk about it. If it will help put even a slight doubt out there, it's served it's purpose. I tried pressing charges, but the statue of limitations ran out. I talked to Kimberly Norris, the attorney, but she didn't think it'd do any good. I'd like to find a way now to bring him down a noch or two. Anyway.....sorry about getting off the subject.

how many jws did you convert to being ex jws or interested persons to being uninterested in the wts?
Thankfully, I started a trend for my 3 younger sisters and brother!! Plus, after the affair with the blood issue, I know the toddler's parents left.

here are my notes from the 2006 special assembly day "keep your eye simple".
i added emphasis to some of the notes.. why keep your eye simple (local elder).
what are some of these things?
All it ever is : FEAR Jehovah! (Who wants a god that is constantly to be feared?)
OBEY the ORGANIZATION!!! (I thought it was "obey god, not men"?)
But, we all know this load of crap inside out!! Hasn't changed any at all!!

it tough.
feelings are without explaination.
please allow me to feel others in grief.
Joe-
Welcome to the board. I was raised as a JW. Df''d twice. I left mainly because my stepdad, who was a ministerial servant had molested me for years. I spent most of my time in elders meetings because every time I got in trouble for anything, my parents called them. I've been out for 22 years. They wrecked not only my life, but my entire family's. I have witnessed them allowing innocent people to die on a whim. They only care about money and control.

my co worker tammy(not her real name) was disfellowshipped twice once in 2002 and again in 2005. she was reinstated for a second time in jan 2006 but i recently found out from her that she is having an "affair" with a non jw's man at our job.
tammy wants to go to the elders but she is afraid that they will df'd her for the 3rd time.
i been talking to her telling her not to go to the elders but she keeps telling me that she feels so guilty and that she does not want to get destroyed by jehovah at armaggeddon.
After I was reinstated, it took me only 6 weeks to be df'd. I got reinstated because I missed my sisters so much. I got df'd because I couldn't bring my daughter up in that crap!
