Rumors-that circulated about you ( when you left.)
by Pitchess Co-Gen init seems they can't even let you get disfellowshipped in peace !
i've been out for three years now, and i heard that i'm a whack job, i'm gay ( i'm married with a son ), that i lied on a judicial committee, and these rumors were started by my ex-fiance and her meddling congregation.
when i heard about these things i called my p.o or c.o.t.b.e ( mind you i'm disfellowshipped when i called ) .

I was too proud to go to meetings because I stepped aside as an elder.

Well done!! I have now been clean for 29 months (I think of organized religion as an addiction). It will get easier and easier as time progresses. Importantly I have finally shed the fundemental indoctrination/brainwashing and have a relationship with God that is much more meaningful. I read the Bible more often now than I ever did as a dub and elder. Keep on going, you will feel a huge release. Remember to come back here when you need encouragement, ones like Blondie, Mouthy and Mr Flipper and the humour of Outlaw will help you though any challenges you will face - there are many others too that are very helpful on a wide range of topics. Contrary to popular belief everyone on this board is not miserable, bitter, angry and unhappy. The friends you have here will help you more than any dub ever will. All the best!

Divorce: Are 'Worldly' People More Ethical?
by metatron indivorce is not, by nature, something pleasant or 'nice' in general.
that said, i do wonder if there is a trend in the world that transcends the "truth".. i can hardly read anything biographical these days without encountering someone who has gone thru an amicable divorce - at least, amicable in the outcome, anyway.
they may 'still be friends' and simply come to see it as another step in their personal evolution.

KS: Sad, no wonder many run to dull the reality they are in with prescription drugs and anti depressants. For a group of people that are to be the happiest on the face of the earth, reality says otherwise. I know my wife and I have a much better realationship post dubdom. Especially now she is not a dubdame!

KS: Good point. So the actual rate would likely be higher if the threshold for the pain was lowered?

Start with not going to any meetings. The stress induced often leads to poor eating habits that are at the root of diabetes, especially adult onset. Obestity is a hugh factor and since not going to meetings I have dropped 10kg - primarily because I no longer have the stress in my life that I pacified with overeating.

Strollers at DC
by InquiryMan inif i understand it correctly, strollers are not allowed at us conventions.. in sweden, a letter was written to the congregation, introducing this new rule.
however, quite a few families wrote letters to the society,.
asking if they wanted families with children to attend the assemblies or not... it was stated that they would not go unless strollers were allowed.. the society pulled back, allowing strollers in designated areas.. in norway, they didn t even bother to introduce the rule in the first place... .

Strollers are generally not allowed anywhere in arenas or auditoriums proper. It is generally a violation against prevailing fire codes as they can impeded the exit path. IN DC's here in Canada there are designated stroller areas, often on the arena floor whaere it is easy to exit in an emergency. To ban them outright is wrong. I figure some 50/60 something DC coordinator who decidied not to have family in 1975 makes a sweeping genralization without any scriptural backing.

I believe the divorce rate amongst dubs is no more or less that that of the rest of the world in general. being a dub is no protection, hence the recent inane drama at the DC. Use the downtrodden women to force them to keep their marriages together.
Recently, my doctor who retired stated that amongst his dub patients there were more that were having some form of marital problems than those of other religions. The one he felt had it most together - the Jews.
