  just talked to a mate, he was disfellowshipped a few years before me, came to my wedding after i was.

  he's a bit of a party animal but a good kid really.

  he's back in his hometown and going to meetings, i think he'll try to get reinstated, the poor suck.

  I suspect he believes "it's the truth" and he doesn't want to pass up the chance of everlasting life.

  so as many of us have experienced over the years since being out, out past can certainly play a role and often does in our present lives.

  my past has crept into my relationship, and as my gf did not feel equipped to handle and/or talk about any of it, this was a large factor in what led to our breakup this weekend.

  i've felt like i'm going to puke since about 4 a.m. saturday.

  Sorry you are going through this. Whether you get back together or not, have you thought about getting counselling for what's weighing on your mind from your past?

  Your GF probably has no clue how to help you with those issues - she's only young too.

  Welcome disillusionedandscared!

  What you are going through is probably similar to what others have experienced. Ask away. There is sure to be someone who can help.

  Did anyone experienced racism in their old congo?

  i went to a spanish congregation and there were different hispanic nationalities and one in particular used to snub, criticize and make fun of the other one.

  very unchristian and so the opposite of what they preached.

  In Australia, aboriginal JWs generally go to separate congregations. Even though they speak English. It's organized by the WTS.

  The young bro I was in love with at 20. Yes, he was lovely but he married someone else. He became an elder. I saw him recently and had no inclination whatsoever to talk to him.

  all boe have just got a letter telling them to encourage all parents to be more on guard with their children.

  suggestions such as not letting your young children go to the toilet on their own, not working with older men on their own and not leaving children in the car on rv's and calls un attended.

  the letter basically instructed the elders to remind all family heads that its their responsibility to protect their children whilst at and away from the hall etc.

  They still say on their website (www.jw-media.org) that "the incidence of this crime among Jehovah's Witnesses is rare."

  (This was in their reply to the NBC report on victims of child abuse settlements.)

  I'm almost out of posts so what am I going to do for the rest of the day?

  Turn the computer OFF and maybe plan a nice dinner with your wife.

  jefferywhat, I found the links very interesting, especially the one from The Australian. Thanks for posting that. And it's good to see you still hanging around (your comment about still being here made total sense to me).
