Can someone please help me?
by ruderedhead inhello, i'm new to posting here, although i have been reading and gaining insight for quite a while.
thank you to all of you.. i wrote a letter of disassociation this week, and sent it to the local kh.
i have been faded for a number of years, and after much research, know that the witnesses do not have the truth.

i am a regular pioneer in my cong reading crisis of conscience.here goes...
by MsGrowingGirl20 ini'm on page 90 right now...the info is definitely new and gives me a totally diff view as to how i used to think of faithful and discreet slave.
i was thoroughly disgusted with the way the brothers handled the oral sex and leadership problem and the insight on the scriptures book...... still have alot of questions though.

Armageddon is NOT coming soon. When I was in high school (I graduated in the 60's) the Awake said the end would be here before I could graduate college.
To me Armageddon comes to each of us... perhaps as a crisis of faith, perhaps a family death, or perhaps a health issue.
If you check the history of the christian bible, Revelation only got in by a single vote. From what I understand the symbolism was understood by the early christians and is totally about those times. If you need to pray, pray.
You have all the time you need.

Any of you have a hard time finding a job since leaving?
by lilbluekitty ini was raised as a dub and my mother never pushed me to have a job.
even when i tried to have jobs she woudln't let me because to her pioneering was the only thing i should be doing with my life.
i did graduate high school and attended a community college for a year but i haven't worked in nearly 7 years and with a gap that large i can't find work.

I had a friend who volunteered at a library for about a year putting books away etc. She checked frequently to see when they were hiring and they occaisionly had an opening as a library aid. You could check in your area and see if that could fit you..
She did get hired they already knew her work ethic and skills.
Wishing you "luck"

Nothing More To Say
by Farkel ini really have nothing much more to say, except to say thank you to all the people who have contributed to me in my threads and all the people whom i battled over the years.
the battles have been most entertaining and enlightening.
i've learned a great deal from them, and i've laughed a great deal from the idiotic attempts of fools to make a coherent argument (think "dubs").. it's been a roller-coaster ride for me over a decade and it has consumed a huge amount of my time.

5 years, Turning 1000
by baltar447 ini didn't want to waste post # 1,000 on arguing with someone, so i just wanted to celebrate my five years on jwn and two years of active posting.
in that time, i've gone from being a believer to fading hard core and taking my wife and kids with me.
i credit this site with being instrumental in our leaving.

Hello Everyone :-)
by new one ini've only recently joined but i've been lurking for well over a year.
i'll just start with a bit of my story so you'll have a better idea on were i'm coming from, i've read that much of most of your posts that i feel i already know you all anyway lol.. i'm 32 years old now and for most of my life i've had jw's around me at times, my mom used to study on and off with them all through my child hood alough she never took the plunge i'm not sure why because even to this day she say's she holds the same beliefs but somethings held her back so there's doubt somewhere!.
anyway, having had the magazines around me for most my life i'd read them from time to time,but, when i reached about 17 years old i discovered nightclubs, alcohol and, well you know the rest ;-).. fast forward to my early 20's and i'd had a failed attempt at setting up my own business, my parents had split up after 25 years together and long story short i had a nervous breakdown.

Any actual Witnesses here?
by trthskr ini found this site hoping to read topics submitted by jw's so i could learn more, but it just seems to be everyone else here except them.
just about every topic and member is just bashing jw's and their teachings.
this site should be renamed "jwbashertrolls.net".
