i wanted to express appreciation to the members of this forum.
there are resources here that are deep.
like we heard from the stage, "what is your depth and breadth of bible knowledge?
Please tell your wife I understand the cost of doing the right thing. I thank you both for taking a stand.
I also have seen behind the curtain, my little family has been forever changed because of doing the right thing and no matter how hard it has been and continues to be we would do it all again. A clean conscience is worth all the hardships.
i was outraged at this and had to post it.. http://jehovahswitnessreport.com/blog/jw-refuses-to-provide-wedding-stationery-to-gay-couple.
i think she is a hypocrite and i bet she sells her invites to fornicators, or does she ask them if they are having sex before marrige, before she takes their money?.
i was never like this when i was a jw, it's even more disturbing that she is going to ask her elders what to do.
So they'll make money off making invitations for different religions but stop when it comes to gays ?? What a hypocrite!
i am inactive for about 10 years now..
Inactive since 2009ish, might be disfellowshipped for all I know, dont really care because I'm completely out mentally :)

"women who complained that former jehovahs witness elder jonathan rose, 40, had molested them as children relived their nightmares in front of him after he was released from jail".
@ lown Mylife,
You are so right with what you said.
Isn't is great that in the real world, we have educated experts that get on the stand and explain the mind of molesters. If you listened to these WT defenders you would believe every accuser is a big liar and every molester is just an innocent misunderstood brother.
I suppose they are just preaching to their own choir, but it is a bit annoying to read.

I have no doubt these young women were put through that disgusting interrogation.
Too many victims all sharing the same stories of what goes on in those meetings not to believe it. I just hope these stories get more publicity! Could you imagine a group of these young women on Dr.Phil sharing what goes on in those meetings?? I could hear the outrage already! Of course you would have the few JW defenders trying to explain their absolutely ridicules ways of doing things. They truly are their worst enemy.
Thankfully, most non-JW's reading these articles will also believe them, after all, they will most likely be the ones hearing these cases(criminal, civil)
once the spell is broken, one you take a deep fresh breath outisde of the watchtower camp, the amazingly obvious realisation becomes clear.... of course this is a lie, of course this is ridiculous!
you find you have memories of really believing the claims and promises, but it seems like another life, another experience.
it seems so incredibly false once you leave and it is very difficult to belive you even once accepted it!
Such a wonderful post! I completely agree with what you have wrote. Thank you.
yup, the apostate is happy.
i shouldn't be, right, because my life is empty without "jehovah" and the organisation.. but i just got a job at one of the best theme parks in the world, which is so what i want to do, and it's the first permanent job i've had since i lost my government job in 2012!.
the job pays minimum wage but i don't care because working in tourism and entertainment is what i want to do!
Happy for you! Congrats.
personally the jws to me are not dangerous.
on the other hand, many do think they are in fact a dangerous cult.
why are they dangerous?.
Absolutely dangerous!
Shunning, blood, child abuse policy...just to name a few.
so i was df'd a couple weeks ago.
i live in a place where i didn't really have new friends at the kh, so my day to day life isn't changing.
i'm just me living life like i was 2 weeks ago and 2 years ago.
I'm sorry to tell you there will be no healthy way for your child to have a good relationship with your parents if your not involved. I say this, after trying for years to keep close to our JW families.
Sadly when you leave you and your children become their new mission. They will take anytime they have with you and your daughter to speak religion. Your daughter will be confused and feel judged as she grows into her own, with her free mind. I've seen it happen with my kids.
I wish you and your family the best!!
Enjoy your new normal
