Welcome Caz. Saying I'm sorry sure seems lame, but my heart breaks for you and your family. I am sure you will feel numb for a while, and then really angry.I hope you'll vent here often-it will help.

I'm just numb! :-( I need to vent!
by caz ini have just witnessed for myself one of the most hypocritical scenes ever before in my life!
my sister's ex husband, ( father to 3 boys, 12, 15, 20 years) commited suicide a few days ago.
he has been a jehova's witness all of his life and and also suffered from bi polar disorder for most of it also, particularly bad in the past 3 years.

I struggled with this a child. Why would God kill all those people. You're right, who are we to question God? But I take solace now in the scriptures, that indicate those being destroyed will not be asking God for another chance or forgiveness, they will be angry and cursing him to the end.His mercy is everlasting, I think we can trust him to make the right decisions!

"From Holy to Whole"
by Ingenuous in"... when you process religious issues, you end up processing all of your issues.
these aspects of personal health and maturity are so basic.
thus, as you make a commitment to work on these areas, you are beginning a very far-reaching journey of growth and are to be commended.".

Just sayin Howdy
by forsharry ini saw that other people had done this and i figured it would be a good way to introduce myself.
i've been reading many of the threads and let me tell you that it's comforting to read that others feel the same way i have felt about being in the organization.
i'm not sure how much i can contribute as far as delectible tidbits of information, but i have replied to a couple of threads to, if nothing else, interject some 'humor' into things.

Being only a few days older than you here, I get to say "Welcome to the party!" It feels like that kind of gathering where everyone is comfortable saying exactly how and what,they feel. There are a million stories in the naked city, yours is one.
You are doing the right thing! Don't let them steal the rest of your life away. You can learn a lot from where you were, and from this forum, and grow and change and find peace. You will! The enemy meant it for harm, but God means it for good! You are still his precious child.He'll never leave or forsake you, no matter what you go through. And you will be stronger for it.Welcome!

Tyrone one on one with Lady Lee
by Lady Lee ini'm going to ask others to sit back.
i don't think it's fair for a group of us to gang up on one person who wants to discuss an issue.. yes it can be done by pm but i think it might be more helpful to be out in the open,.
to continue the conversation .

Yeah, Lady Lee, I think you started to open a door and the light scared him away. Maybe he'll be back and be able to face the truth of the matter in the future. I'll pray that he does.

Yeah, to think of it as real, at all, make ya sad...I remember being very upset for those who would die. What I was laughing at was the reasons...I do believe in judgement, and I know that God looks on the heart. I know the witnesses thought they were doing everyone a service to try to scare them into a right relationship to God. Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom...fear of breaking the societies rules, and of the elders- just waay out of line.
