Once upon a time, everyone was nice and had nothing bad to say about
anyone. We all learned much about life and it was so eye-opening and exciting! The End.
I doubt you could sell this novel.

having had a week away from home, i'm astonished at the way some posters have started to behave.
this site seems suddenly to be full of vitriol.. now i don't pretend to be every one's favourite pussy cat, and i will always be as outspoken as i choose to be, but i do not attack people personally, i only attack what they believe if i am convinced that their beliefs are anti-social or detrimental.
i don't attack the person propagating that belief.

the world is rapidly changing, making the watchtower.
organization with every passing day.
consider some trends they .
Or maybe Armaggedom will come and God will
get rid of all the evil people on earth,
which will probably include a lot of JWs.

just introducing myself as the new girl on the block!
i am new to this forum and wanted to say hello.
i am 23 years old and currently living in atlanta georgia.
Hello PhonenixFyre,
What else can you tell us about yourself?
Are you out or still in?
Are you in college?
Emyrose
i thought this would be a good topic as many who are still sorting through the jw experience do not seem to see that their newly adopted worldview is just that, their own.
while i can understand how some would want to just "vent", i fail to see how such behavior helps anyone.
we all know that as jws we went along with what others told us to believe, yet it seems to me that beneath many posts of self expression, there's a subtle tendancy to be pushy, even preachy.
Hi friend,
I may be wrong, but I think you are misreading
people's strong opinionated remarks as preachy.
Even if some are pushing their philosophies, it may
be ones some of us really need or want. Please,
remember that even if someone shares their dogmatic views
they don't have the power to inflict the damage that
the Society does with disfellowshipment. So is there really any danger here.
Live and let live. Besides I doubt that anyone who
is breaking free or has broken free from a cult will
readily accepted just anything.
Your Friend, Emyrose
Hello Bonnie,
If you value your life and your children's
run as fast as you can from the ORG.
It will sap every drop of your life.
Realize that it is a cult and that you
are suffering from brainwashing. I beg
you to investigate this very carefully.
Read your bible and pray to God. Ask him
if this it is truly his Org. and then
listen closely.
Wishing you freedom and happiness, Emyrose
hullo everybody i'm new here, even though i've been lurking now for several months.. i have to say how afraid i am to post, afraid and ashamed but i feel if i dont tell my story, i honestly dont know what may happen to me or my children if they lose me, right now i feel like i've got nowhere left to turn and have my doubts about this place as well.. i know my story will shock you but i cant keep it in any longer.
i am recently disfellowshipped for immorality, the subject of a kingdom hall witch -hunt and subsequent congregational humiliation, .
during the process of the judicial committee meetings and proceedings no consideration was given to my real human circumstances nor to the spirit of survival nor human nature nor that of a mother seeking to protect her children from lack of basic fundamentals such as food, shelter and clothing.
Goodness gracious, jeewiz
No need to be such an ass Azzazel, to people.
They have feelings too, you know, jeezz.
You'll attract more bees w/ honey than...
You are reaping what you sowed, as far
as insults go. If you need help its
better to ask nicely, don't you think?
I'm sorry if you got hurt by how some
responded to you though, and I apologize
to you now if you take offense to my posting.
Hope you solve your troubles, and whatever
course you take, I wish you happiness.

new regular pioneer techniques .
these are untried and untested techniques to get .
they're called goats in the bible.
Thanks! That was really funny, I almost choked on the chocolate I was chewing while I read this. Hope to read more JW comedy. I love it!
Have a good day, Emyrose
i know there are a lot of people who post or lurk here.
who suffer a lot of emotional pain.
the deaf and dumb.
Hi Metatron,
I agree, and am so thankful that I am out.
But remember that it takes time to be
really free of that cult. Time is necessary
to break free from mental bondage. My heart
goes out to those who still have family
trapped in that crazy world.
Emyrose
that got you to read this!
what country are you from?.
i find it encouraging to see where different posters are from in the world, especially for me, if you are from the uk or europe.
Hello,
I'm from New York City. My family moved to the
US from South America in the 70's. I'm in my last year of
college (majors: pre-law and sociology)
I'm still believe in God and would like
to someday blow up Bethel Headquarters !
Just kidding and excuse me, but my anger has flared after
reading about the horror stories of other ex-JW's. Sometime
in the future I hope to get involved with some org. that helps
cult victims. I lived in Columbus,OH for 4 years while still a JW.
I'm back in NYC and Love it!
Emyrose
my word it does.. when i started studying with the witlesses all of my family and inlaws deserted me for following a stupit cult.
my wife divorced me and my children won't talk to me.. that's ok because according to jdubs that proves it's the truth.. as i progressed in "the truth(tm)" all my friends started to abandon me because i was always going to those booring meetings.. when i found someone i liked in "the truth" and started associating with her, some of my witness friends tried to break up the friendship.. ie break up another family before it even starts.. after i married her without getting the elder permission, some of my jdub friends tried to df me, to show how much they loved me.. when they failed to df me some of my witless friends decided to shun me anyway even though the elders pronounced us no guilty.. i should have sued the bastards for slander.
today i'd just give him (the instigator) a good hiding.
Hello to all,
I'm sorry to hear what you went thru, OldTom.
The fact that evil ORG., obviously full of many
pyschos, breaks up families makes me fume w/ anger.
Don't we already have to deal w/ this dog-eat-dog world.
The last thing we need is to lose family members.
Don't stop trying to piece things together though.
I wish you happiness, Emyrose
P.S.
I'm starting to notice that many of us didn't get
calls when leaving the ORG., why?
Maybe the elders think its to late to repair the
brainwashing process, and cost-efficient the situation.
