for years i made it known that when i die, on my stone, .. or plate, or whatever, .. it should say.
"what the hell was i thinking" well now as time goes by i think i would rather it say.
"he died ... living"
this world was never meant for one as beutifull as you.
my whole family promise to sing it.

she totally flipped out.
all i was trying to do was find some mutual respect for my decision but she started smacking, punching, pushing me.
soon after, she threw the biggest tantrum and it disgusted me to see her acting in such a manner.
you are having a hard time.
pray about it.
if you do it tends to help. it did for me.
my mum was the same, now 5 years later, she has left the jws and so have my family and many of my friends. it takes time, and guts.
ill be thinking about you.

im not going to alter names on this as i think it deserves people knowing the individuals involved.. i was raised in a congregation in northern ireland.. today i heard that a great woman who i have known since she was a little girl has given birth to twin girls.
her name is louise fusco.. she has has serious internal bleeding and refused blood.
she now lies in the high dependancy unit of the royal victoria hospital in belfast, having had an emergency hysterectomy.

she has has serious internal bleeding and refused blood. she now lies in the high dependancy unit of the royal victoria hospital in belfast, having had an emergency hysterectomy. she is still critical.
she is in her early 20s and the watchtower has stolen her future kids.
if anybody could say a prayer itd be nice.

i am so glad that i found this site.
i have been reading these posts and they have made me feel so much better.
my family was "in the truth" when i was little, and i feel like i really had a messed up child hood.
your not alone in feeling damaged by the jws i am stuck in a crappy job because i thought the new system would cure all my ills.
i am glad youve seen sense and are not continued down the dirty road the watchtower treads.
all we can do is make the most of our situation as it is. and its a hell of a lot better nowadays without some cult telling us how to think.
good luck to you and welcome

i finally got to meet up with my best friend this weekend, and while having lunch with him at an ocean front restaurant, got to see a 3-masted schooner on the horizon, heading out to sea.
what a sight that was !!
it was a beautiful day, and a bit breezy, which was ideal for the schooner.
i love sailing

i read many "apostate" books before i left the "truth".
mentally, i was drifting away for years.
but i do think that the internet really made it easy to see all the evidence that overwhelmingly showed jws do not have the "truth".....was the 'net instrumental in getting you out?
YUP
i found the old h20 and posted thier in defence of jws because you people annoyed me so much !
then farkel and others replied.
it was all downhill from their

hi farkel
thanks for all the kind words. in answer to your question, "why DA ?" i want to attend other churchs and i dont want them to get the chance to kick me out when they see my car outside. this wayi get to stick two fingers up at them first.
all suggestions were considered and i changed it a wee bit because of them.
