Isn't it funny how you NEVER forget those songs? I could sing so many of them and it has been absolutely ages since I was even in a KH!
my name is becky aka mrsroller.
i call myself that because the notorious rollerdave is my hubby.
i met dave when he was in his early thirties and it had only been a few years since he had left the jw's.

this goes back a year ago, my mom was trying to get me to go to the district convension b/c there was a major announcement being made.
of course i didn't go (why go back after all these years?).
anyway, she called me when it was over and i asked her what the announcement was.

Anyway, she called me when it was over and I asked her what the announcement was. She said: The announcement is that we are in the Great Tribulation now...it has already started.
Instantly that old familiar scared feeling kicks in (good old scare tactics work every time!). I got over the panicked feeling in a hurry, but I am wondering: did anyone else hear about this?? That is the first and last time I heard about it so I am wondering if my mom was being dramatic and trying to get me to come back to "the truth".
Comments?

those who aren't in the truth i feel much pity for you.
all of you are filled with much hatred and anger that all you can do is blast out of your stupid mouths horrible things about the one true religion.
i feel sorry for you that you will not have ever lasting life.
Ever notice that one of the main things JW's will use in their arguements against non-jw's is about not being able to live forever? It's like that is the only reason they are in the "truth", not b/c they genuinely believe the message or love jehovah and the organization. It's because they are getting something for staying in the org.
the333, you may be waiting a loooonnng time for the "end" to come...just ask around, wasn't it supposed to come long before now??
Don't feel sorry for us, we don't need or want your pity. We are better off...trust.

found this interesting talk on e-watchman's site.
it was given by david splane, a gb member.. the talk is really interesting as it gives a more focused look at the troubles the society is facing as it trys to cope with education, peer pressure etc.. .

with comparing what other experts have to say, just as the witnesses did?".
"well, what have you found wrong with the nwt?".
' without comparing and .
I liken it to a bubble. They live in a bubble and get very upset when someone pokes it! They are happy to just be in this protected bubble and stay away from the influences of the world.
They do just turn their minds off when it comes to most things. They hear what they want to hear and that is all.
However, you have most definately planted seeds and don't think your wife won't remember what you said. She just doesn't want to explore the option of being wrong b/c this is all she knows. One doesn't know where to go from there b/c your whole life is the "truth" and you honestly haven't thought of anything beyond what you were taught!
Keep up the good work OTWO! After all, I bet there was a time when you thought you would never leave right? I never in a million years thought I would stray.

hey everyone... i'm so happy that a forum like this exists.
it makes me feel like i'm not the only one.
even my mother, who has been disfellowshipped for nearly 20 years still calls sites and literature like this "apostate".
Welcome to the forum!
I agree with your comments about how certain things stick with you. I couldn't even look at a site like this til I was gone for over 10 years. I still had the apostate thing ringing around in my head...
Your not the only one, we are all in this together! Looking forward to hearing more from you!

i joined awhile back and haven't posted much - just lurking like many others.
for the past year or so i have been trying my best to fade away sooner rather than later, but the wife and most of our family have decades of involvement in this mess and well, it's difficult.
little by little i have been sowing seeds of doubt and it does seem to be working somewhat.
This information makes me sick!!
MMO
Wow did that resonate with me...it was like I was telling the story. With the exception that I left when I was a bit older but practically the same story! We are not alone, we all have each other! MMO
hello jwd it has been a few months now since i initially posted an announcement regarding my intention to create a feature length documentary about the emotional and psychological effects of the wts disfellowshipping practice.
i am happy to announce that filming began the weekend before last at the 2007 a common bond conference in chicago.
i was welcomed to acbs conference with open arms.
Wow Ruby, good for you! Thank you for letting us know the current status of this documentary.
Can't wait to hear your updates on this project!
