this is a difficult thing for me to do, i used to be a jehovahs witness 20 years service as a pioneer.. last thursday it was announced from the platform at my local kingdom hall that i was disfellowshiped.. it was a bit of a shock.

i still have a deep sence of anger at what happened to me and its so unfair.. it started 3 years ago when i began to feel ill and i missed a couple of meetings.

the elders were wonderful and came round and cheered me up.

i believe i have come to realize that i am no better than the jdubs myself.

for about six weeks now i have been going to a book study with a friend of my girlfriend.

i act very interested, i give him the answers he wants to hear, i am the perfect and progressing study.

ami i the only one who waited 15 years to reach out to the xjw community?

it seems like forever ago i wrote that syrupy letter of disassociation...anyways.

i'm daniel allen cox in montreal, canada, anxious to share my experience and to hear yours.. yeah, so a sister in the kh reacted to my saying that her boyfriend was handsome by telling an elder.

.

on another thread, a co says that sites like these don't have much impact on their numbers.. personally i didn't leave because of this site or any other xjw site.. i was unhappy and felt that something was wrong and this site confirmed what i felt.. how about you?

the thread about got me thinking about my very early childhood, back when witnesses were allowed to be social and have get togethers.

they also had a piano in every congregation i ever attended, and an older sister would always play the kingdom melody.

there was actual singing - not mindless droning and humming.
