Linda we'll miss you.
trev should be home soon, his best mate took him to the pub, while julie drove trev's car back here.
they are due back anytime, they said 7ish, and it's that time now.
he's had a few beers, which i think will do him good, and we are getting him some food ready.

well i am glad to say i learnt enough to last me a life time and that i have once again returned to jwd - sooner than i thought but suitably refreshed!.
i made a topic not so long ago about a family situation, thanks for your help with that everyone and your advice was spot on.. nothing much is going on here (well nothing new) - noah is well, megan is alright and i am fine also.
mum is being a bit funny with me but nothing too serious yet, i cornered her with something and for the first time not only could she not find an answer she couldn't think of anything on the spot of her own invention to answer me but otherwise everything is as good as it can be.. anyway, nice to be back.
hey warlock, yeah your right a lot of folks have gone - i think i said i was gonna come back i just didnt commit to when i thought it'd take me ages to feel how i feel now but Noah seems to have sped up the process, i no longer depend on JWD its a choice.
Hey aunt juni, love sent and recieved and even returned x

yo yo its ninja, yep things are cool here G', hope your well too matey.
i am new here and i joined honestly to collect information to understand something a little better.
my boyfriend, well-now kinda boyfriend (were at a weird place) is a jehovah's witness and i am not.
he waited a little "far" into our relationship to tell me he was, which created a mess, honestly an emotional dyfunctional mess.
What a mess!
Forget his family and even your own and be honest with each other. Get him to be truthful with where this is going, DO NOT BECOME A JEHOVAHS WITNESS because it is a brainwashing cult.
Hard as it is, unless he's willing to leave you alone religion wise and let you make your own choices and will stick with you no matter what his religion tells him then you need to move on and find someone else, it will save a lot of REAL HEARTACHE.
Wishing you all the best.
if anybody wants to talk, pm me their phone number.
i can't type this stuff.
bad day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
hey bruv, sorry to hear things aint too good and i hope they improve

Hey its some people i know!!
Yep Noah's about a month now
ive wondered this from time to time, especially in trying to figure out how i finally broke free and in looking at the stories of others.
if you asked me a few years ago, i probably would have said either seeing too much hypocrisy or suffering the last straw of spiritual and/or emotional abuse.
but i know in my case and others, even that wasnt enough to break the mental shackles.
I dont personally feel that knowledge is what starts the process of 'unlocking' the mind of a JW - i agree with an above poster that if you drop out of meetings and free your mind for even a little while the 'brainwashing' begins to wear off a little and you find yourself in a different space, thing is i think that a witness either sub-consciously or consciously must want to leave before it happens first. They all know deep down its lies, which is why they protect it at all costs because accepting what you built your life on is lies means starting again and the loss of something special, maybe even everlasting life which answers all things, even things without answers 'nevermind at least we'll live forever'.

Nothing much is going on here (well nothing new) - Noah is well, Megan is alright and i am fine also.

Anyway, nice to be back. Noticed a few new folks around, welcome.
i never gave too much thought to the subliminal messages that seem to appear in the watchtower organizations publications.
some, i will admit seem to be done on purpose.i am not sure what it is all about.but.....long story short: i found in my front door a new track they are passing out.
it is titled:"a peaceful new world will it come?
JWD bitching forum ?
simon i think put it into the forum software so no links to this forum can be made without it saying the above instead.
i have been unable to vent this elsewhere and because i'm taking a break from jwd my usual outlet wasn't available (this is partly the reason, i aint home till wednesday) so i decided to come back and post in this topic only, just to help me cope with this situation for both me and megan who needs me to be strong for her right now.. when megan was a child her stepfather abused her sexually, unfortunately for her she was also abused by her brother.
megan was forced into a corner by her mum (not physically) to admit that her brother abused her because her mum said that megans stepfather never abused her and it was just a ploy on megans part to get her mum to love her stepdad less.
megan felt to defend herself she needed to prove that she'd kept a few other things from her mum and that her 'perfect son' wasnt so perfect and that she wasnt a liar.
Just a note for you and MeganFrom the moment an abuser touches a child he has to prepare what he will say if his (or her) if the victim ever talks. He has had years to prepare and has most likely been setting things up so that Megan would not be believed.
Abusers are conmen and liars. That is how they survive. They never take responsibility for their actions. They plot how to silence their victims. And the only thing others (like Mum) have to do is stay silent to protect the abuser
The abusers planning, manipulations, conniving, and outright lying work well for the abuser.
And it can be devastating for the victims
VERY INTERESTING! Thanks Lady Lee
