  Hi and Welcome Madison,

  I faded away about nine months ago.I feel that is the best way.The elders have NEVER been to my house,not even once, since I faded.Maybe you will be lucky and they'll leave you alone too,though I don't know of anyone else who left the org. and wasn't bothered.I made up a bunch of goodie bags and gave them to the kiddies last night.It was a blast!Had the front of the house all decked out for Halloween.Sure is nice to be among the LIVING again!

  well, i have been checking this board for a few days and love reading the comments.

  i remember starting going to the meetings when i was 5 and continued till i stopped going to the meetings about 10 yrs ago......total of 25 yrs to the meetings.

  i remember as a kid not being able to celebrate birthdays or stuff like that and wearing our dresses up to our knees....that was awful.

  Hi and welcome Fairy,

  I know for a fact that Witnesses can be very cruel and judgmental.One time when we were all about to leave for field service an overweight sister was getting into a ministerial servant's car and he made the comment that he didn't know if his car could take that much weight.She made it through the morning but she started crying as soon as she got back and she never went to another meeting.All that talk about the love among them is BUNK.My son and I never got invited to any of their get-togethers because I was married to an unbeliever,yet they would freely talk about how much fun they had right in front of us.One sister even made a video and gave me a copy of a talent show they had right before Christmas last year,as if to rub it in.We made it to the end of January and finally stopped attending meetings.I think it's a shame that people give up friends and family for them and get made fun of and then get treated dirty by them.That's really "Agape love"huh?

  November issues of magazines

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  usually a november issue of the watchtower carries the annual "begging letter" type article, detailing the various ways that donations can be made to the wts e.g.

  wills, loans, etc .

  has anyone seen this year's article?

  Yes,I saw it.It was the same old stuff.(Put WT Society in your will,leave us your real estate and valuable belongings,send in contributions,give at the KH.)Nothing any different than usual.

  2. experiences

  here and there a newbie will post and its obvious that they think that this site is for jw's and not ex's.

  did any of you ever come across an apostate site on accident?

  what about the first time you came here?

  I was thrilled to find this place where others share similar experiences and everyone is free to talk openly about it.It has been good therapy for me as I was devastated from my wild ride as a JW.

  hello my children.

  there have been some posts today debating what i might say in certain situations.

  to make things easy for all of you that may have questions for how i may react or respond to certain situations i thought i would just start a thread to answer all your questions.

  Jesus,

  I know the Bible says that you were tempted in every way so you must have been tempted by a woman.Could you please give us all the details?

  PSYCHOLOGY TODAY magazine features ex-JW book!

  by escapefromcult in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was flipping thru the latest issue (dec. 2002) of the popular magazine psychology today, and noticed some book reviews.

  the article on pg.

  76 is entitled "cq: psychology today introduces culture quotient (cq), a review of the season's most psychologically astute...books, ..." and one the 11 books they chose to bestow this description upon was diane wilson's new book, awakening of a jehovah's witness: escape from the watchtower society".

  I think that's wonderful.In my opinion,that book deserves more recognition than it's been receiving.Very well-written and easy to relate to,for me anyhow.
