I always anwsered from my head, not the watchtower, people said they enjoyed the honesty of my comments. I once said that I could not imagine Jehovah destroying mentally handicapped people at the big A; so I said we would be looking after them all after A came. Got a few stares after that comment.

So sorry 007,
I really feel with you and your wife. It is a huge gap that will be there for some time and you will feel such an ache when you think of your dog.
My dog saw me through a long depressive illness, she would sit by my side in the tough times and only go off to play when my moods lifted, I miss her incredibly even after three years. Our tears seemed to keep flowing, we all were deeply moved by her loss. I hope you enjoy your new dog, you were very brave to get one straight away, I could not do that.
Much love

England is poisoned for me
by highdose ini used to live in a part of england that was popular with tourists.
the kind of tourist who wanted to experiance the "real" rural england.
they would come to my town and thrill at the quaint old shops, delight in afternoon tea at the many little tea rooms.

Hej Highdose,
Good to hear from you, I can relate to the feelings you have. I know that a person that has suffered terrible depression caused by trauma often feels that any trigger of the feelings related to the memory, cause great discomfort and sadness. For you all the lovely things about England, take on another facet, because you are looking at them through the veil of your bad memories.
I have done the same for many years with my hometown in the north of England, because of a terrible childhood, jw indoctrination, rejected love, I feel a deep aversion to the place I grew up in. Yet I know deep down that my viewpoint would be the opposite if I had not had those experiences, I try very hard now to look at web sites about the place I grew up to try to feel at ease with it. I live abroad as you know and I do not miss England as such, but I do miss the british humour and character. I hope in time that your memories will fade, but at the moment I think that re-living the hurt and anger is all part of the recovery process. When I stopped taking meds, the blocked emotions poured out for quite some time, now after 4 years I am almost serene!
All the best from minus 7 degrees with a stiff breeze that makes it feel double so cold!

last day at the kingdom hall
by ex-Special Pioneer inprologue.
get out shouted the audience you must be ashamed of yourself.
the crowd was in a hysterical state, every time that we tried to say something we were silenced by the clapping and screams which got louder and louder of the majority of the two hundred people in attendance.

I want to read the rest of this experience please, so if the negative responses have put you off please pm the ones who are interested with the continuation. I have attended congregations in countries where punch ups and screaming in the kingdom hall have taken place, so I am not sceptical that this person has had this experience.

Here's an update to what has happened since I used the words, "Big News," five years ago
by AndersonsInfo inhttp://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/scandals/103353/1/the-news-is-bigger-than-dateline-bbc-cbc-etc.
as many of you know, i made the "big news" statement when kerry louderback-wood's scholarly article about watch tower's blood misrepresentation that was published in the journal of church and state was just about to be published.
i was excited about it because lives were at stake and weve never had such an article before to be able to use to show how the watch tower misrepresents the blood issue through its literature and people die because of it.

Thank you for your Big News article, I for one am grateful for any information that confirms all the suspicions I had about blood. I exited in 2007 but had been in great doubt after giving birth to my third child in 2000 and finding out that it was ok to have the injection against rhesus negative blood. I was so shocked to think I had risked my second childs life based not on God's word but men. So keep up the good work! It really helps people to see the light.

Highdose in a bit of a mess... but in a good cause
by highdose ini am once again trying really hard to come off the pills ( anti depressants) i've been off them for 3 days, am having the most awful withdrawal symtoms.
inculding terrible vertigo!

Hej High dose, good to hear that your life is going so well now that you feel ready to quit the meds. It takes a few weeks before the side effects wear off; I had the dizzy spells for quite a while, it will pass. If you have any really nasty reaction go to the doctor, I cut down very very slowly over a month or two until I was taking a quarter tablet every second day.
Love and a hug to you

Baby P dad
by Married to the Mob ina while ago this story came out that baby p dad had become a jw.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/child-abuse/181524/1/baby-p-dad-converts-in-prison.
well it seems now he has become a catholic.. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3395142/baby-p-killer-steven-barker-34-claims-god-has-forgiven-him-for-child-death.html.
someone at the watchtower is going to be loving this and probably claiming it as a "return to satan".. .

This piece of garbage should be put in a dark hole and left. His acts are so atrocious that it makes one sick just to read them, I believe that the injuries to his little boy were so terrible that the jury were not allowed to see photographs. Hell is too good for him, so the catholics should give up on him.

Australian Convention Pioneer family Experience - We found our vegetables in the gutter..why do they wanna be Martyrs?
by Witness 007 ina couple years ago district convention - a pioneer family with two kids explained how they had ran out of funds and had no dinner...as they turned the corner out witnessing they saw a vegetable truck had spilled some produce in the gutter and so "jehovah provided in our time of need..." i felt like yelling get a job you bum stop starving!!
not encouraging.
this week an elder with pnemonia discharges himself from hospital, promising to remain home...so he can go out preaching!

Thanks Roski, its true what you say and just like your Dad we experienced something similar. It was the sheer number of these experiences that baffled me over the years when I was grappling with my doubts about the whole Jw thing. I hung onto the idea that this was proof that God was with this religion. I have realised as I wrote before that my experiences out of the religion have been just as awesome and at times inexplicable on the surface. Dig a little deeper and a logical explanation surfaces, usually connected to general kindness in people.
