reading the post "how long did it take you to leave", i can't help but be envious of those of you who refer to leaving as a "we" event.. i know it has been said that women tend to react to feelings/emotions along with logic, can you help me with ideas that got you to feel something was wrong?

what should i work on planting with my wife?.

thanks..

by the fact that in under one day we have 2 new members on the board, hadit and thor.

that people are leaving that nutty religion and doing so in a rather public manner is a wonderful thing so far as i am concerned.

if you two happen to read this, hadit and thor, please know that seeing you here has made my day!.

i have a cousin who has been away from the meetings 5 years.

she was baptized only a year before becoming "inactive" and moved to another state.

then after some time she moved back to the area all the family is from, but wouldn't say a word of anything having to do with the religion.

does everyone remember a few years back, when the km directed that nobody should wear shorts after the convention while out and about?

i don't have the reference, but i remember a brother in our hall made a comment that night at the meeting while it was being discussed.

he was a very poor brother, with 3 children.

hi all, new posting, but i've been lurking for a while.

i thought it was time to "come out" as it were and voice my story.... i was born into the jw cult surrounded by all of my jw family.

grandfather was an elder for almost 40 years till he passed, both of my uncles are currently now elders and have been for the last 15 years.
