Socially Stunted?...you betcha.
by Lumptard inmy apologies if this has been done to death, but i was just curious how many of you feel that you have been socially crippled as a result of your association with the jws?
granted, this probably affects people who were raised as jws more than those who chose for themselves, but i just wanted to see if anyone else has had the same experience...also, how did you work through it if you were able to?

An Overdue Return
by Roger indear all,.
hi, i'm roger, and it's been about two years since i posted on here, though i've kept an eye on the forum to keep up with the zeitgeist.
i've been reading a lot recently, and have felt i'd like to add some points of my own, but when it's been so long i felt it difficult before making some kind of apology for my absence.

We decided to become Witnesses again today!!!
by fullofdoubtnow innot jehovahs witnesses though lol, in case anyone was wondering....i'd have to move house, we can't "live in sin" and serve jah.. we saw a minor road accident between two cars, one of which looked likely to be a write off.
fortunately no one was badly hurt, as the ambulance came but didn't take anyone to hospital.
the police came as well, and took our names, so we are witnesses to the crash.. and that is the only witness either of us ever want to be again.. .

How did your family react to your decision over time?
by mavie ini'm still somewhat hopeful my family will one day 'see the light'.
in your experience, did any of your family members finally understand your reason for leaving and communicate with you as a family member and not an apostate?.

Terry Irwin given death video
by zensim ini find it encouraging to see that justice was chosen in this case, rather than the normal red tape and/or rules.. .
terri given footage of irwin's deaththursday jan 4 00:14 aedtsteve irwin's wife terri has been given footage of her husband's death after queensland authorities broke with protocol to ensure it did not get into the wrong hands.. copies of the film, which shows irwin being stabbed in the heart by a stingray, have been destroyed, queensland state coroner michael barnes said.. he said footage was normally held in perpetuity but the destruction of the copies would prevent them being sold on the black market, news limited newspapers report.. the coronial investigation is almost complete and the footage was handed to terri irwin just before christmas, mr barnes said.. .
"when the final police investigation report is received the coroner will, in consultation with ms irwin, determine whether an inquest is necessary," mr barnes said.he said police had told him unscrupulous operators would be willing to pay up to $1 million for the footage.. under usual coronial investigation protocols, a film or audio evidence is handed back to the owners and a copy made for the state to be held in perpetuity.. "i'm not sure whether we will be doing that in this case because of the risk it poses," mr barnes said.. he said police had a responsibility to ensure the footage was not leaked.. the findings of the coronial investigation into irwin's death are expected to be made public within weeks.. .
