Welcome! Facebook was my start out but then I wasn't ready to be exposed so I lost my EX-JW facebook I was Found Sheep. I think I will get back into EX-JW sites. There were a few good ones. Just like this site I am amazed at how many EX jw's there are and how we are all in different fazes of healing and I like to help others at least know they are not alone in this at times trying process. Welcome and good for you for letting it out. I felt better when I DA it was like the lost all power they thought they had on me.

Where Did You Think You Stood?
by Ding inconsider a scale from 0 to 100.. 0 = if armageddon comes tonight, i am doomed for sure.
100 = if armageddon comes tonight, i will survive into the new system for sure.

Is there a new "full court press" to bring back "lost ones"?
by tenyearsafter ini ask the question because all of a sudden i am getting bombarded by my mother and other family members to "take my wife's hand and run back to jehovah before it is too late"!!
i am getting e-mail with screen shots of the un website (http://www.un.org/en/peace) stating "peace and security", being told that this could likely be the last memorial celebrated and that the door to the ark will be closing soon.
has anyone else been seeing an up-tick in these "prodigal son" appeals from jw friends and family?
