Scared I'll Never be Happy Again
by Stumbeline inso it's' been 8 months since i was disfellowshiped.
i moved out of my mothers house accross the country to room with a friend.
things have been going ok, it's just strange to be so far away from everything that felt familiar, even the meetings.

Grandma called the other day, and chose to tell my kids about the tornadoes
by Faithful Witness ini know this might be overreacting, and i have not said a peep about it to my kids or anyone else... .
last week, my kids wanted to call my mom during the day.
on her last visit, they had talked about calling her on her day off at home.

It doesn't matter whether or not Grandma was planting seeds about the end. She was in the wrong...period...if she knew your daughter is/was afraid of thunderstorms. If so, what an awful thing to do to a young child!

Hi Guys, I'm new here...
by Mikado inbeen lurking for years, but couldn't log on.
for some reason, my email spam filter is inaccessable, and ended up having to open another account, simply to become a member... wonder how many others have had a similar problem.. its been an eye opener reading everyones life experiences, often so similar.. i was almost a born in, with a hardcore family.
abusive stepfather who was one of the original jws in the area, so much so, that it was called the xxxxx family religion.... been out for 25 years, am glad every day for that!!.

FYI, links to photos of jw.org signs on top of WT buildings
by AndersonsInfo inyesterday, on the thread i started on 4/15/14, http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/279088/1/essay-by-barbara-anderson-whats-in-a-name#.u1e98jao7l9 that introduces a recent article i wrote which is posted on www.watchtowerdocuments.org , i thought i made an inaccurate statement in one of my posts about wt having a sign, jw.org, on the top of one of their buildings.
i was sure i had seen a photo of such a sign but couldn't prove it until last night when proof was sent to me in an email and the proof is to be found in the form of links to photos of the sign.
i was wrong in thinking the sign was on a wt factory building.

Bigmac hit the nail on the head! If your parents want to see your child, they can do it at your house with you present....period....end of story.

I don't know enough about computers to know why, but when I type jw, JWN is the first site to come up. Is that because I frequent JWN, or would it be the same for anyone who inputs the letters jw? If so, anyone who tries to check out jw.org is going to get a lot of information from JWN that the Watch Tower cult doesn't want people to know.
