i am marion, a friend of fullofdoubtnow (linda), and i have just disassociated from jehovahs witnesses.

i was only announced a couple of days ago, after a lifetime of association.

linda has posted about me before, but it's wonderful to be able to post in my own right, and i am really looking forward to getting to know you all.. i am 59 years of age, 60 in november, and have been a jw all my life, baptised since 1961, and i thought i would always be a witness, but i now know absolutely that it isn't the truth.

What were your seating habits at the hall?

i would always leave a space between me and someone else.

i hated when someone was seated right next to me.

didn't feel comfortable.. i also loved sitting in back of a tall person, that would hide everything, like that i could close my eyes and the speaker wouldn't notice.....lol.

my older son, karl, is leaving home.

it could be this coming sunday but, if not, definitely sometime during next week.. karl has been a wonderful son and friend.

leaving watchtower was made so much easier because of him - and his decision to exit undoubtedly prompted my wife, claire, to take a look at the damning evidence herself!

as you may already know mr c and i are parting company and i am on the search for somewhere to live.

last night i saw two dirty, grubby pokey and depressing little rooms, about 8 foot by 9 foot, which i could just about afford at 450 a month (thats about $900 to you yanks)!

this is not in london but about 30 minutes by train from london.

My friend was "announced" last night!

my friend marion, who i've posted about on here, was announced at last nights meeting as being no longer one of jehovahs witnesses.

she sent a da letter in recently, and of course the elders tried to get her to change her mind, but she insisted, and threatened to forward a copy to the uk hq, so they made the announcement.. she had a phone call from her jw son just now, and not a pleasant one at that.

he asked her how she could be so stupid, and told her that this was the last call of any kind he would be making to her, and she won't be allowed to see her grandchildren again until she comes to her senses.
