YOU ARE HER EVERYTHING!
by Atlantis inyou are what she wanted to be!please, let us remove any blame to anyone right up front.
what happened to petra was not the fault of mark o'donnell, listener, corney, mike and kim, or anyone else.. constant rejection and shunning even at an early age, the depression was storing up inside of her.
she was shunned inside the hall and outside the hall.

Hey Eden,
When you joined I was in my "evangelical atheism" phase (some would say I still am). I am so pleased it all worked out well for you in the end too.

Moving to Minnesota
by HappyDad inyou probably think i need mental counseling but i am moving from southwest florida to minnesota.
i was just there last week in the -29 degree weather to close on a house i bought in oakdale, minnesota.
being a florida resident for 5 years has taught me that it is no longer the paradise that people think it is.

There have been a lot of changes since then .. I am healthier, happier, wealthier. I have put the JW's well and truly behind me. I no longer care about any of their opinions, their teachings or their existence. My amazing wife and I escaped and that allowed our kids to grow up without fear of an impending Armageddon. They are young adults and have their lives ahead of them. They can be whoever they want to be, take whatever path they want to, express themselves without us worrying if they are offending someone with pseudo-authority in a group of cult indoctrinated lemmings.
My biggest fear 10 years ago was the possibility of being DF'd ... in actuality, it was the best thing that ever happened. Yes we have lost some family and "friends", but who needs toxic people in their lives? We don't, we have rebuilt our lives, made new friends and become our authentic selves.

A big shout out to the NHS
by moley inlast week i suffered two heart attacks, first one occurred while i was at home, phoned for an ambulance which promptly arrived and whisked me off too hospital, docs decided i needed a stent and during the angioplasty i had a massive heart attack according to the doc that did it.
i was unaware as i was out.
but what i want to say is what an amazing organisation the nhs is.

Glad you are OK. I am so lucky I live in the UK and not the US just because of our wonderful "socialised" NHS.

Material such as the film at the end of this years convention confirms that I was right to take my kids out the religion
by jambon1 init’s quite affirming to see the horrific material that they’re serving up at the convention this year.
aside from blatant homophobia, the scenes at the end of the convention that are discussed on another thread stoop to new levels of fear mongering.
it seems to occur to nobody inside the organisation that this kind of material could trigger fear, deprsssion, anxiety, stress.

Good Grief!! What did I just watch? The religion has always been manipulative and bat-shit crazy, but this is just incredulous. I am so pleased that we got our kids out as well, it's a total mind fuck.
