You made the right decision to skip the jc. As painful as it may be to have your name announced as no longer being a jw, you will be totally free. No more random phone calls to try to change your sexuality, your goals, and your dreams. And any pain your family feels is self-inflicted. You had the intelligence and insight to see the Watch Tower cult for what it is, and it is NOT your fault that they can't do the same.

Any normal parents would be so proud of what you've accomplished at such a young age...how far you are in college, your full time job, and the fact that you pay your own bills and support yourself. You will NOT fail, my dear, because you don't have it in you....never did and never will.

Part 1 of the 2013 Conti and Simons interview now on YouTube (questions posed by JWN members)

by cedars in

a while back we ran a "competition" whereby people could pose questions of candace conti and rick simons for them to answer in a video.. there were so many questions that we needed to do a series rather than just one video.

this first instalment is now on youtube.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhvfefpig4a.

here are the questions that were answered.... (to rick, asked by "exwhyzee") is there a possibility that part of the ruling, if you overcome the appeal, will be that the society must make an announcement outlining the details of the case to its members, as well as an apology to candace?.

companions and carers.

by zeb in

yesterday i had the duty of care to take our feline companion of 20 years to the vet to be euthanized.. i took a tin of his fav tuna and gave him a last meal at the vets to settle him as the needle and medication did its work.. he died peacefully and in no pain.

my wife and i buried him in the garden next to a another older moggie.. i had the duty to email this sad news to the family who have largely grown up with him.. i sat in my back room and cried bitterly.

i will miss him terribley and his head rubbs him checking on me once i was in bed and all his ways.. sleep well..... time for another cry..

I'm so sorry, Zeb. I know how difficult it is, having lost several furry family member over the years. The way I get through the grief is knowing that one pet leaving this world leaves room for another animal that needs a good home.

I'm turning myself in. Lurking elders, are you listening?

by Eve Deceived in

i think it's fitting for my very first post to be a thread on jw.net turning myself in to any lurking elders out there on a witch-hunt to cleanse the congregation so that god's choosen ones can "remain in god's love.

" so i'm sorry to all you awesome, truthful apostates on this site, but this thread is really intended for any lurking nazis -- i mean, the taliban -- ugh, i mean elders of the world's most "loving" cult religion.. i am an apostate.

here, i'll save you the trouble:.

Welcome to JWN! You sound like my kind of person...just rip the bandage off all at once, LOL! That's what I did, and I've never regretted it in the 25 years since. Please check your pms.
