hi all, i'm a long time lurker, ready to join in and add my two cents worth now and then!

i was in the religion for 25 years, out now for 8, along with my husband, daughter, and son!

i would have to say pretty much the whole time i was in i didnt want to be, pretty much "dreaded" all aspects of it, meetings, service, assemblies, and talks, i hated talks, man o man would i be grouchy the whole week i had a scheduled talk.. we didnt have much family in, but lots of friends and many jw employees, pretty much lost all that, down to just one jw employee left(thats a good thing).

Welcome Blackbird Singing, sounds like you stood up to the old WTBS. Well done.

Welcome Kate! Advice? Please don't do it. It is a dangerous cult and if you stay around and read some of the consequences for joining it you will soon agree.

I wonder if they will write to all the 'anointed' or just suprise them at a meeting?

by snare&racket in

writing to the partakers legitimises their claim of being anointed.

they also dont trust these people so will they let them know early?.

if they inform the munchers of emblems 'on the night' the whole cong will see the dissapointment, shock, despair, stabbed back.. on their faces as they are demoted to other sheep authority in this life, with the boss powers only coming in the next life.

I like your analogy. My faith in the 'Bible' is very different these days. It doesn't equate with 'big beardy scary man in the sky' (atheist hubby's description) that I know and love. Meanwhile, you don't need to feel ashamed, it wasn't your fault, it was quite definitely mine for allowing myself to be deluded by the WTBS and we have all paid a high price for it. The anger we feel is totally justified, I simply care that such anger and frustration doesn't have the power to damage any of us any further. As this forum proves, we've all been wounded enough.
