The experience that changed my life

by hijosdelawatch in

i have been lurking for a long time here and i think i'm prepared to speak about this experience openly.. .

i was born in a jw family and i grew up as the average jehovah's witness does.

even being very young, i helped with the territories and other work in the congregation.

Magotan's Story

by magotan in

hi all, i've posted here in crisis a few weeks ago.

i recently have finally taken the time to write out my entire story.

i knew i had to come out to my parents and family about everything, my sexuality, and my issues with the jehovah's witnesses.

AudeSapere

Thank you for sharing your story. I have not read it all so will finish later this weekend.

Fading & Feeling Lost ... Part 2

by What Now? in

sorry to keep dragging this on ... but this is really the only place to vent right?

so basically it's going on 4 months now that we've had zero meeting attendance, and for the last 2 months we have not reported any service time (prior to that, when our service group overseer would send a text asking for our time, we would report 4 hours each, for our "family study").

in my last post, i talked about how we were having a really difficult time beginning a new life outside the organization.

AudeSapere

Sounds like you are doing the right things. It's just too bad that the others in town keep flaking.

You've got some good suggestions in this thread and I'm sure more will come up.

Keep working at getting involved. Something good will happen.

by tooktheredpill in

she was a 12 year old maltese.

the best pet in the world.

my wife and i never had kids, so she was our only daughter.

AudeSapere

I'm so sorry. They are just like furry children.

I know the pain of loss is real. I bet she brought you and your wife so much joy.

So sorry.

@BOTR - Thanks. Ground transport is not an issue for this trip, although I *did* get caught with that problem about 20 years ago. Had to take a train (?) into the city, then a cab or bus and then another train to get to northern NJ. What could be a 25 minute car ride was 3 hours of a city tour. I learned a good lesson back then - and was not sure if that had changed all these years later. Aparently, it's the same.

Fortunately, however, ground transport is taken care of for this pending trip. I just need to figure out decent flight details.

Thanks again. :-)
