  hi everybody.. well, i've been lurking for a few weeks & have made a few posts, so it's time to bravely introduce myself some more.... i was raised in the religion, baptized & then df'd in 1992. i live in sydney and youll be pleased to hear i have survived armageddon (also known as the hottest day on record for sydney 45.6c).. ive never looked at any witness related stuff online, but my son showed me something about the conti case and i was so intrigued!!!!

  following links led me to this & other websites..... since then i have spent literally hours on the internet discovering all this information.

  so many late nights/early mornings.

  as some of you may know, about two years ago my brother contacted me on fb.

  i hadn't seen or heard from him in roughly 12 years before that.

  things progressed well once he found out that i and the wife had left the jws.

  What was the worst thing an "elder" ever did to you ?

  by Pitchess Co-Gen in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the worst thing an "elder" ever did to me was in 2008. i was in one congregation, but i wanted to return to my home congregation because i've been reproved there twice ( once private and the last one public ).

  when i came into this congregation in 2007 i thought i was going to move up the food chain ( this congregation was full of older people, so i thought i would move up faster ).

  but i got into some trouble in the congregation.

  Stay At Home Moms/Dads

  by cognac in

  i have a 3 and 1 year old.

  hubby is a stay at home dad and i take care of the bills.

  i have to, cause instead of working on his career when he was younger, he decided to pioneer- that is something that now i have to pay the price for which really sucks.. i feel that since i pay the bills, it's his job to cook and do all of the cleaning.
