Thank you for sharing. I'm so glad you and your hubby found the strength to leave. And congrats on the little one. What a lovely life he will have free of the influences of the 'troof'.

26My story in more detail
by freshstart inso as i stated in my first post, i was born to witness parents.
from early on, my parents were both quite fanatical about the "truth.

Are you sure leaving the JW religion has made your life better?. Lurkers think twice
by mankkeli inon this forum, i have carefully read most of the experiences of those who left the jw religion, i have even read experiences that have dated back to 2001, i have read the different circumstances surrounding their exits and what ensued upon leaving.
for the majority, i observed they are better remainning in the religion than leaving.
what benefit is there to strain family relationship because you want to be free?, please tell me, of what value is that freedom?,.

Mankelli, spirituality is a personal thing. How that affects anyone here is for them to answer, not me.

Further proof of no real message in OCCUPY
by free2beme ini went by a protest today.
someone was holding a sign to "stop big banks now," basically saying they agree with the government taking control of the banks and what they do.

Drewcoul: There will always be fringe groups and crazies trying to horn in on a cause, just to get their 2 cents in. When the civil rights movement started picking up steam, the unions tried to ride on their coat tails. It just happens.

Actually, it more of a statement about how the powers that be want us to feel about the state of the world. As an exjw I found it amusing.

I remember hearing my dad say that for talks given at the DC, there was a manuscript the speaker had to read from and there was someone offstage who made sure that the speaker did not deviate from what was written.

JWN is enjoying a renaissance!
by Mickey mouse inthe past few months we've welcomed a lot of newbies who have contributed a lot to this forum.
some quality discussions are taking place, the likes of which i haven't seen here for a while.
in addition, many are taking action to expose the watchtower society for who they really are.

I'm not much of a joiner either but am definitely an active participant when the opportunity arises. Like FAL1914, I'm taken aback and pleasantly surprised at how widespread and in many respects, similar, our experiences are. And the information that is shared from all over the world is tremendously validating. It's a wild ride that I'm thoroughly enjoying.
