Thankyou all once again ..... I have spent nearly the last two days on this site, looking at the different articles "opostate articles" and all.I feel so sad that I devoted my whole life to this religion and my family and all that I love still does. I dont know if I could ever talk to them about what I have learned or what I believe in now (not that they would talk to me anyhow). I am still finding it hard to believe and a little bit sad that I did not find this website sooner , as the last seven years have been lonely ones without being able to talk to people who have gone through the same situation.

by pat1 inhi every one i am not sure if i am posting in the right place or not but just wanted to say a quick hello.
i am a disfellowshiped (ex brother of 27 years), they did this to me nearly eight years ago after forming a commitee with two lying elders (one decent) who didn'nt like my father who was the presiding overseer at the time and stand in circut overseer.
i was married for six years at the age of 19 and when i decided to have a break from her it all hit the fan and the lies started about me.

Thankyou everyone for your kind words. So many of them I dont know which to reply first. I love my father deeply and his faith in that his religion is the truth , is far greater than mine that it is not (the truth). I am sure if I rocked up on there doorstep they would speek to me, but I know this would hurt them and they would feel ashamed in gods eyes that they have done something wrong. I dont want this, I want a smile to come to there faces and I want to welcomed with open arms and invited inside. I think if I saw my parents and family and this didnt happen it would be the end for me. Someone else asked about the two elders who were in the commitee who disfellowshiped me and how they lyed and why didnt I dispute the fact. You are right I should of ! but these men were just acting on Gods behalf and he was kicking me out (so I was told), and I became bitter as storys and lies started to be told about me. ........................I dont know maybe I should go back and get reinstated just for my familys sake ! ....kind regards Pat Oh and I am on the Gold coast in Queensland Australia

Thanks guys,,, but my family wont talk to me at all (for my own good they say , making me come back to "truth" even if it is for the rong reason !). I have thought about it and even tryed but my life is so complicated now. I was raised in the religion for the religion and nothing else. I was a 27 year old being dropped into the real world with no idea. I am sorry I am starting to go on again.

Hi every one I am not sure if I am posting in the right place or not but just wanted to say a quick hello. I am a disfellowshiped (ex brother of 27 years), they did this to me nearly eight years ago after forming a commitee with two lying elders (one decent) who didn'nt like my father who was the Presiding Overseer at the time and stand in Circut Overseer. I was married for six years at the age of 19 and when I decided to have a break from her it all hit the fan and the lies started about me. I was locked out of my own home with only my clothes on my back. She took every thing my money my house my cars. From a booming business with her as a partner I gave it all just so I could walk away ! I was born into the JWs so my friends family and everything dear to me is in there, only there beliefs were not working for me. My father being a circut overseer and the greatest man in the world to me had a different belief to me. Any way I am not sure that I am making much sence to you all but some of you seem to have gone through simualar experiances to me, and reading some of your storys have helped to Know there are other people out there like me. I am just finding it hard as we were the pefect so called family, no arguments plenty of love, and now all that has been taken away from me as I have two fantastic sisters one brother and my mum and dad who I have not seen in eight years, I feel like my heart has been ripped out..... I dont know where I am at the moment and as every day go by it seems to get worse for me , as my father who I love dearly and think of on a daily basis has cancer and I dont know what I am suposed to do as he doesnt have long to go. I believed in it all , I pioneered I loved god I loved the religion I prayed many times every day. Now I havn'nt prayed for seven years. Anyway thankyou for your time as I had no idea a website existed like this. kind regards Pat
