Welcome!! Glad to have someone that was so connected to the borg! Looking forward to more of your experiences...great first post about learning TTATT. You must have been an elder to have given talks at DCs. How did you step down from Eldership?

How do I tell my husband?
by dissonance_resolved ini'm a born in, baptized as a young teenager, whole family is jw.
i just recently woke up after the new understanding of the fds was announced and it seemed to me to smack of power-grabbing.
i started looking at all the websites we're not supposed to, and now i know why.

Real quick suggestion, gotta type fast wife is coming down soon..ahhh. I am in the same situation. Trying to tell my wife slowly and carefully that it's all BS. One thing I am working on is trying to slyly get her to watch 'Religulous' a documentary by Bill Mahr (not sure of spelling) a political comedian. Watching it not as a slam against JWs but how "crazy" the worlds religions are...hoping that will get her to think about her own religion. Some very good points are made....shows how goofy religion is. Would like to compose a better post but I'm typing fast....it's on Netflix

I hope you find your cousin Jeremiah....I also hope that ID'ing him as your cousin doesn't 'out' him if he is still flying under the radar. If that concerns you maybe ask a Mod. to move this to the private section.
I can definitely understand the feeling of finding a post and realizing it's a family member too....it's happened to me on this board. Still haven't brought it to his attn yet though. Nervous on how to approach it.
Take care

Thanks Justitia...great XJW success story for both of you. Can't believe how an elder could say that to your face....well I take that back, unfortunately I can believe it. Passive aggressive weaklings is a good description.

That's so cool that your daughters a prosecutor...just curious, were you already fading when she decided to go to college to become an attourney? Did you get flack from the elders?

Thanks for posting. What a great "experience" lol...great writing. I love seeing how "we" - I use that pronoun very loosly - are seen through the eyes of those evil worldly people.
I love these articles that make JWs look ridiculous without being "apostate"...something like this I can leave open on the computer and share with my wife. Thanks again LDR.

Coco Rocha People Magazine JW Blurb
by NoRegrets inso i know that there has been a lot of discussion about coco rocha and it is pretty much a proven fact that she is a jw.
i was surprised, though, to see her make a public statement in about it in people magazine.
we were in the doctor's office waiting room and my wife pointed it out to me.
