  Returning

  i was a member of this community a long time ago and have lurked for years.

  well, i am back and still thoroughly conflicted, with my heart/loyalties as divided as ever.

  please welcome me back, hear me out, and make me feel as welcomed as before.. the wtbts has changed so very much in recent years that i feel trapped in a completely different religion altogether.

  My basic story is that I, being a multigenerational JW, cannot emotionally handle losing my loved ones if I walk out on this religion. So, I am making the best out of this incarceration. I can honestly say that in the congregations I am not alone so we of like minds keep each other company while enduring the misery of the Organization.

  My heart goes out to you completely. I understand the feeling so 100%....

  You have 100% right to be happy. And you get to decide what those terms are. I will not judge you. It is a very difficult position to be in and you love people that are in.

  The great thing about being out, is, you get to decice what will make you happy as a person...

  I lost some family members because of being outted and the devastation is impossible sometimes.

  You need to do what will make you happy. Period... I am happy that you have learned to think outside of the cult and maintain some sort of balance. I applaud and support you completely....

  We always affectionately called her the forum granny.

  She was.... You are right on your other points too. I feel sad that this topic hasn't received more responses, because she was there for SOOOOOOO many people.... Maybe there aren't a lot of people on here that are old timers, idk.... I just wish she could feel how much of an impact she's had on people.....

  
  

  I keep thinking maybe someone will read her these responses.... I wish more people would reply.... She's helped so many....

  out at the mall with mrs. otwo, she sees a shirt on the rack that was marked down from $25 to just $4.

  she holds it up and says, "should i buy this as a workout shirt?".

  i tell her "no, because as soon as you figure out what it means, you won't wear it anymore.

  My thoughts are that it would be hilarious to see her face if a JW says anything... 😂😂😂😂

  Whats great is that she will probably defend herself too... Wonder how she'd react...

  Grace's last name was Gough. You think Anne Marie would still have the same last name? Anyone know?

  dear newbies and others somehow unaquainted with our resident grandma,.

  "...the watchtower is determined to doggedly hang on to the lie that the time of the end commenced in 1914. there is no other explanation for the watchtower's persistent and seeming incurable interpretive schizophrenia.

  Thank you, Label... Maybe if everyone reached out to Anne Marie she'd see the importance of just doing the humane thing to do... This is heartbreaking....
