WOW! look at all the Newbies...Welcome!
by new boy inwelome all..... i guess poping in on the board after missing a few months it is easier to note... i remember joining in 2002....we would get maybe 1-2 people a week?....now it seems we get that many people a day..if not more.. another way you can tell, is how many "post" are done in just a short time.
it takes hardly anytime time to get your "thread" bumped to the next page.....job well done!.
just another sign the cracks are going up the "witchtower".

sanctity of life
by lovelylissa init just occurred to me that they say non-witness kids are going to die at armageddon, but abortion is wrong because jah knows us before we are born.
isn't this contradicting itself on the sanctity of life and how jah views us as individual and precious right from the beginning?

anti-jw leaflet?
by lovelylissa incouldn't we make our own leaflets outlining the basic flaws and dangers in the jw faith?
something simple and to the point?
to give to people who we thought were at risk of being taken in, for me the cruelty of disfelowshiping and how it brakes up families was something i didn't really know the extent of at the beginning.

I would have liked to be a fly in that elders car!
by ButtLight inso, the elder that dfed me, was driving by my house with a carload of sheep yesterday.
as he was driving by, he pointed at my house.
what he didnt know, was that my bf was also on the road, waiting for him to pass so he could pull in the driveway.. when the elder looked up, and recognized my bf, he dropped his hand really fast, but knew he was caught.. so, now i sit and wonder, what the hell was he saying to the herd?

We Should Give Newbies the Benefit of the Doubt
by flipper inconsidering what has gone on at this board the last couple months, i thought this would be good to discuss !
it's true that some here are somewhat jaded and untrusting of others because of the deception pulled by " trevor" and the whole " trevorgate " thing.
that being said and acknowledged however , think about what makes us not trust others as ex-witnesses.

is it any wonder some people only post once and then leave? i came hear for support hoping to speak to others who had been rejected by people who they thought were friends. as far as i'm aware i haven't broken any rules but i still felt attacked and accused of something without even knowing what! i'd like to thank the kind people who made caring comments and helpful advice but i'm not sure i feel welcome here, it's a real shame as i've no one to talk to about x-jws as it's a taboo subject in my house. lissa- newbie

shunned
by lovelylissa ini got disfelowshiped when i divorced my husband and altho we both went on to have relationships with other people he didn't get disfelowshiped as he wasn't going to meetings.
we have since then got back together and i find it so frustrating that i still get treated like a leper being shunned by his family and all the other witnesses but he still gets invited to dinner and works with them.
i don't want to be best buddys with any of them i just hate it when they cross the road to avoid me .

rosalee, i was repentant at the time, and as it happens he was not but as he haden't been to meetings for so long no one cared. If you are still df'd, why would you expect anything different?- i know i have only myself to blame for being df'd (even tho i didn't cheat on my hubby i started dating before my divorce came thro ) and we are not being treated in the same way.I still feel crap about beeing shunned and As i have no one else to talk to who knows how it feels i thought this might be the place.i wasn't expecting to be attacked I'v got enough to deal with without you starting on me aswell.

no, i haven't been to meetings for years so it's strange that they still react so strongly to me! my hubby's not been part of it all for about 10 years, hes not part of it in any way now, but he is still treated like a human being.it is a shame that his parents (who i used to get on well with) don't see their own grandchildren much any more as it was me that used to make the effort. their cutting off their nose to spite their face. what's a duck? lissa

oh don't worry i don't believe in it any more,the best thing i ever did was leaving the jws . My and my children's life is so much better, even my relationship is better now we're divorced! it's just difficult dealing with the in-laws and unpleasant being shunned. lissa
