at home, i used to read all the old publications and i'd notice how beliefs had changed.. with ray franz's books that i read clandestinely, i started to realize the truth about "the truth".

It took me at least a few years of thinking about it but when I made up my mind to leave, I just didn't go back anymore. That part wasn't hard.

Girls - what subject got you thinking?

reading the post "how long did it take you to leave", i can't help but be envious of those of you who refer to leaving as a "we" event.. i know it has been said that women tend to react to feelings/emotions along with logic, can you help me with ideas that got you to feel something was wrong?

what should i work on planting with my wife?.

thanks..

Watching the goings on at the meetings started to make me see they weren't following the bible's message of love. The constant repetition of info that didn't encourage but made me sad & frustrated. The way they treated my former husband when they came for a shepherding call. They tried to make him say something that would be against the org but he was too smart for them. I think the things that appeal to women are the same things that appeal to all when you finally reach a boiling point you just want to leave. You look at the assembly programs & see people being used for an example that didn't go out in service with the congo. It just started to add up in my head that it was wrong.

JWS is a fraud...

wes and april started an exjw discussion board thinking simon would end this board...it attracted many new members and grew into a bit hit in the exjw world...but a funny thing happened they started to ask for funds to keep the site up and asked for donations they poured in and yet it was not enough they keep ask and the funds keep pouring in...month after month and yet it was never enough...then it dawned on the members they were just pocketing the money and holding the members hostage..."send money or the site will go down"...they kept sending and they kept pocketing the money.... .

avoid these people like the plage they will just rip you off and pocket the money....

As a top poster on this board many times, I could not let this pass. Thank you, vilot for your apology. There has been much posted on the JWS about this subject, as well. April & Wes have had their problems, some of us have given a little to help them out over last year. I have found comfort there with new friends & relationships. It is smaller than this one & people are understanding without being critical over what you say. I left this board because of my former husband beening on here with his woman. Many may only know of the situation but I felt time to leave the board to them. I have taken my posts to JWS, in hopes that I could say whatever I like without getting evil PMs. I want others to know I am happy now & living a life of fun & adventure. I could not have done this without a divorce & getting out of the borg. I have found the support I needed & will stay there. They are a great bunch of ex dubs. Even the believers are friendly there!

Impressions from my first KH meeting

hey!.

i went to my first meeting last week and, well, i guess i want to write some thoughts about how a meeting is for an 'outsider' :-) .

Bubblie

There are many who make it their job to welcome the new ones. Sometimes with a hug. That is really somewhat over the top but I have seen them do it. It is really pretty easy to spot the new ones if you are a regular attendee. Look out for the overly friendly. Just a warning.

2010 Special Assemby Day program: "The Time Left Is Reduced"

by truthseeker in

jw

the time left always seems to be reduced but it never runs out.. here is the program for the 2010 special assembly day.

the time left is reduced.

(1 corinthians 7:29).

I really regret saying this isot, but it can last for as long as the dub continues to attend the other meetings after the assembly. It just reinforces the feeling & the message. My favorite thing after an assembly was to miss the next meeting. It lessened the hold they had on me just a little so I could continue to survive. I did this a lot as I remember in my final years. Then, I stopped going to assemblies all together, the last few years. The last one day I attended I was over two hours late. The friend I rode with was late to pick me up, then there were some heavy rains on the way down that caused the drive to be even longer. That drive to Richmond got longer every time I went. They were really scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with the good example of a family of five that only worked with themselves in field circus. Sitting in the back watching the show, I ceased believing it was the only way to live my life. So glad I am out now. Hope you have better success with your wife. She sounds like she is still in the honeymoon phase with the wt. Does she go in field service yet?

PS. You have a PM, you are right they are stupid!
