Wow...step away for a few days and all sorts of stuff happens!
Welcome Kim! Thank you for your honesty and need to share the truth, I felt it in your video and letter. Yep, there is a whole bunch of us here that went through the "Lloyd Evans" experience early on, and had his number from the get go. He's played dirty from the start. Sad really, we are on the same side...
Sit back and relax, you have friends here.

Hi Blondie! So good to see you!
so last night my bible study group was discussing the healing of the blind man in john's gospel.
ch 9 .
the man's parents were reluctant to say much on the subject.
Of course l was struck by the similarity to the WT disfellowshipping someone. So it seems that they are following an old Jewish practice, who knew ?
Many/most orthodox religions follow a sort of excommunication. Some surprisingly similar to JW's.
There is a Netflix show called "Unorthodox" about the struggles of a young woman attempting to live her own life outside of the Hasidic community.
Another series filmed in Israel is "Shtisel". It is about an orthodox family. One of the things I learned from it is all TV, "worldly" literature/music etc. is forbidden. So as some things are different, the control issues are very much the same. **shiver**

I'm having a giggle. A cousin of Gilles sad sad sadly passed away a few months ago who was a great friend of my family. I was one of 12 that attended the funeral. (Gilles did send condolences that day, and also his brother who is an elder the family told me.)
This relative left JW sometime in the 90's, but remained Christian and believed in going to heaven. When Gilles gets up there, there is going to be quite the row.
I don't believe in either, just having a giggle about Gilles new "status."
purple haze by jimi hendrix.. f**king awesome, gotta say.. enjoy .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgodayjdfsg .
My first sort of "heavy" rock album.
Us little 13yo JW girls used to get a kick out of calling the local AM radio station on request night and ask for "Are You Experienced."
I do loves me some Jimi.
first off, i have made it real clear with jw's my thoughts on being a jw.
i'm out, there is no coming back.. second, i'm on their " do not call list" .. so why now all of a sudden my mailbox is getting bombed 💣 by their memorial invites and letters?.
don't they follow their do not call list?
Reporting hours is still a motivator in the JW world, as it is one of the measuring sticks the corporation uses for their stats and control.
They are just counting time...nothing more.
for one thing i am older.
this is what i look like now or at least on jan 1, 2022.. .
yes, 69 years old.. i moved once.
Ding - I think the last I heard from him was last year. The home in Manhattan Beach where he lived for so long was finally sold, and he relocated to Texas. I checked his FB and I don't see any activity. He started a chat in messenger last summer but I was involved with a horrific family tragedy and was not communicating with anybody.
I know Bill Bowen was in touch with him for awhile, I'm not sure where he is at the moment.
Randy was one of the first persons I met from this board. He provided information for so many to take a critical look at the WT. I hope he is doing well.

Nice to see you Lee. So glad treatment is working.
Thank you also for your support and assistance for the community. There are so many issues coming from a high control group such as JW's...***sigh***
