former jw..new on the board and glad to see it so active.
the latest round of "new light" in the recent km has reversed the rules and once again my family has been told to shun me.
i da'd in my early 20's after being very active since childhood and have been out of the "borg" now for nearly 18 years.. i look forward to reading and posting as i get more familiar with the names here.. rgw.

ok those of you that know me personally know that i sit on a ton of event committees, usually for non-profits benefitting kids.
yes, it is very rewarding but there is no paycheck.
this has not been an issue for us.
CONGRATULATIONS
I know you'll do a great job. (and have fun doing it.)

some of you have inquired of me as to how i've gotten "to this good place" in my life.
for awhile now, i've been wanting to take time and make a list of some of the books that i have read or am reading, books that are a part of my own personal self-help library.
i've read many others, in years prior, when i couldn't afford to purchase books, but had to get them from the library.. my first book was "i'm ok, you're ok".

Thank you for the wake-up call. Had to stop typing cause I'm crying too hard to see. Just reading the words How to deal with the loss of a parent did it. It's been two years and I can't seem to get over it. No matter how much doubt I had about the "truth," I always thought I would see her soon in the new order. Now realizing that isn't going to happen is devastating.
I'll see if I can order it thru Amazon.
Thanks,

since i first posted here.
going thru all the phases of grief has been difficult, but worth it.
the shock and disbelief that everything i knew was a lie, that i no longer had all the answers, and then the anger of being deceived.
since I first posted here. Going thru all the phases of grief has been difficult, but worth it. The shock and disbelief that everything I knew was a lie, that I no longer had all the answers, and then the anger of being deceived. Finally I've reached the stage of acceptance, and I have all of you to thank. Coming to this forum and reading your personal experiences and how so many of you have suffered at the hands of the Watchtower has certainly been sobering. it's made me realize that I have been very lucky, and I am grateful for that. All the research that has been done and made available here also went a long way in aleveating(sp) the guilt that had consumed me for the last 6 years.
Although I realize that no one here except ((((((((((Joy))))))))) knows me, I feel as if I have known many of you all my life. And for this I thank you.
Simon, You've touched thousands of lives. I can't say enough to express my gratitude.

i'm still blown away by it.
when i went out the door this morning to take the kids to school (7:15 a.m.) i turned on my cell phone and there were two messages from his retirement home, both saying that he had fallen at about 4:30 a.m. and was being taken to the hospital.
i called the hospital and they told me that he said he had taken 18 xanax in an effort to kill himself.

before my dad went into surgery he asked that i contact the people on this board and let them know how much it ment to him much it ment to him over the past month or so to be able to talk with all of you.. this is one of the few things in his life he could still enjoy.dad wanted to especially thank craig (ona ) for accepting him and apologies for anything he said that might have offended you.. my father was in so much pain over the past seven years ,god must have thought it was time,dad passed a few houres after surgery.. dad asked not to have a service and will be cremated than placed in an urn ( as he said "so he can keep an eye on mom" ) we all loved him deeply and he will be missed.
i will leave the company email should anyone want to,i will print them out for mom and the family to read.. again thanks to all, our love is with each and every one of you.. matthew mc cune [email protected]
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. My sympathies to you and your family.
