I think your right we believe these stoties with absolutely no way to verify them because it "proves we are in the truth". Lets face it nothing else does. With all the changing doctines and prophecies we will look for things to back up our belief system.

Great story. I dont know many dubs that would have gone to that length to help a stranger

I thought the mercedes went to pioneers only not just to any old JW

...the phone rings. The Witness answers it and someone is on the other end, but they are speaking in French. Luckily the Witness speaks French. The caller asks where he can find Jehovah's Witnesses! Any way the man had a bible study and is now a baptised Jehovah's Witness!
Just heard this, the dub relating it was so excited about it.
Did you believe these stories when you were in?
hiya folks.
just joined on board and figured i'd say a quick hello to all.
i'd get into more, but i'm soooo watching this ingrid bergman marathon on right now on turner classic movies...
Hi Raylo.
I, along with a lot of others here, am also not da'd or df'd. It is probably agood thing as it means your mother is free to associate with you.
i thought it was time i posted here, having been lurking for over 4 years (on and off).
well my wife is now out.
we never really discussed the issues i had with the troof, although she of course new what some of them were.
You lot rock
This is not to bump it back to the top to receive more attention. Just to reply to some of the points I missed.

How did you ever stay silent for so long?
I think it was loyalty to my wife that held me back from posting here. I didn’t want to get found out as I knew that would cause trouble. Also, I could help her with a “clean conscience” as I hadn’t actually spoken with you evil apostates. Twisted reasoning maybe, “look but don’t touch”, “never inhaled” etc.

You must love your wife deeply to have waited so long and patiently to get her out.
Absolutely. It was the only thing that kept me going insane, the thought that she would eventually see through the lies, however long it took.

Which part of the country are you from?
I am from the central south. I don’t want to give too much away at present as there are others I would like to help.
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.
Give Marion our love.
It must be quite devastating to have your family turn on you like that.

Thank you all very much for your "welcomes". It is very pleasant to be welcomed by you guys, some of whom I feel I know quite well. I look forward to making a few posts, so that I may have a share in "building one another up" and so you can get to know me a little. My wife says hi back to you..

Although I am neutral towards the bible now, on my figuring it out I couldn't help but think of, "The truth will set you free", because I guess I had the same type of feeling you and , probably, many others have too.

My first memories on JWD were the part by part account of Amazings exit. That's how I can date it back to Jan '02

Thanks FHN.
I guess I just "kept my eye on the prize" and felt that my strategy was the best way to get my wife out.

Hi all
I thought it was time I posted here, having been lurking for over 4 years (on and off).
Well my wife is now out. We never really discussed the issues I had with the troof, although she of course new what some of them were. She just figured it out for herself with just the a bit of encouragement from me.
So now we want to talk to a few people to explain the reason for our fade. Not expecting them to jump ship, but it may be the start of a journey for them.
Luckily we don’t have any close family in (We have already helped one member that was in).
Anyway, with recent events I thought I would just pop my head round the door to say Hi!
