Cognac,
I am Apostinator's wife. He hasn't posted in a while, but I was from Revere Mass. I've been out now for about 11 years. I remember a brother in Burlington that I went to a star trek convention in Boston with a bunch of my friends. I think he may have married a sister I knew well in RI. Her name was Theresa Gravier--ring any bells? Were you in Burlington Mass. very long? I used to work there, but now I work in Boston and live just south of the city.

in the truth (as they say) were people really shocked at you leaving or thought of it as only a matter of time !
It's been awhile since posting here--I'm Apostinator's wife. I got df'd for adultery---a horrible depression precipitated my actions which included alot of drinking and rx pillpopping. I was one of those stories of the elder's/pioneer wife who "went off the deep end". There were alot of stories like that. During my df'ing time of about 1 1/2 years I cleaned up my act with the help of worldly professionals, worldly family, and worldly friends. By the time they reinstated me I had started to realize how unloving this group is and that I don't belong there. My last visit to a kingdom hall was the night they reinstated me. When I look back I think I didn't know how to leave or walk away gracefully--there's really no way to do it--so I got myself "thrown out" to try to get away from them. At the time I had done no research and didn't know why I felt I didn't want to be around there anymore--I used to think there was something really spiritually wrong with me and that I was inherantly evil. It's good to be free, but on some level there will always be some kind of "scarring" for having gone through such a humiliating and degrading experience. Today, I know who I am and am confident in my ablities and stand strong. I ache for those still caught on the sticky fly paper of "the truth" unable to seek their own personal goals and potential and individuality in this life.

i'm looking for old friends that may have left!
i'm not too keen on saying where i'm from yet (family doesn't realize i'm officially "not coming back").
My wife and I are from Mass. PM me, we may know some mutual friends.
i worked for a witness owned business for 10 years.
three as a witness and seven as a former witness.
it was a formal wear (tuxedo) store.
I've worked for 4 different whitnesses in my Lifetime. Three were the biggest thieves I've ever known. The other one was the best person I worked for and would gladly work for again.
i've seen little bites about this for over a year.
i understand that somewhere there is a video in which a woman named pat garza publicly accuses wts governing body member ted jaracz of having molested her as a child.
does anyone have this video?
My wife and I went to the Silent Lambs march in NY. I have a video of the march that includes the acusation. I would be willing to send a copy to whoever wants one, However it is on VHS and I haven't been able to find the equipment to copy it on to another VHS. I anyone can give me some advice as to what I can do, it would be apreciated.
years ago when i was attending my old kh there was an elder that was very stern.
bro glen(not his real name) used to be very firm in telling students about their talks not being good, or where they needed to improve.
i know i was "terrified" of bro glen.
My wife and I was very close with a couple our age for over 20 years, We would do things together, hang together ect. I did not know he beat the shit out of her regularly until a couple of years after she divorced him. She gets dis-fellowshiped for unscriptural grounds for the divorce. Come to find out she told me he broke her ribs and that the walls that had holes in the plaster was a result of him bashing her and his kids around. Well, when she left him, the whole congregation was on his side because poor brother so&so's wife left him. He still goes to meetings and was never dis-fellowshiped.
You guys got the bag of fruit wrong. They use to call it......Bag "O" Fruit
good film.
what i really respect about it is it is no hollywood version of what happened on that day.
there is sparse use of music to try to pump up your emotions.
My wife and I saw it last night. You could hear a pin drop, it was so quiet in the theatre. There were a lot of tears as we were leaving.
