  i have been reading post on this forum for many months and i wanted to thank you all for all the great posts and comments that have really helped me get through this hard year of fading.

  my husband and i where born in jdubs and almost 1 year ago we started to fade , now that we think about it has been a few years that we were suffering from cognitive dissonance without knowing it.

  we feel that finally we have our life back , a life that is just starting.

  Mouthy Grace is not well. Please send love.

  in another thread, mouthy said she was "not well" and mentioned "kicking the bucket.

  i believe she needs some encouragement and well wishes.. mouthy, you don't need to respond to this thread if you don't feel up to it.

  just consider it an exceptionally long get-well card..

  The dividing of the Rank & File Class

  by raymond frantz in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  last thursday the letter for the next annual meeting was read as an announcement at the meeting .as you all know this is the first time the gb makes such a big fuss about it as it will be broadcast in many countries at the same time as the one in new york ,or maybe recorded for the countries with many hours difference .it is the first time that they will include members of the rank & file in such any event ,an event which in yester years was strictly only for the top high ranking officials of the watchtower .. my questions are :.

  is this a new way to approach their masses ?

  stop the allienation between top and bottom ?is this the first time that they also try to visibly divide the rank & file to two classes ?

  I remember being taught what Data Dog said! That was one of the first lies told to us early on, so not true, oh and so many more! Sad!

  i'm new here, so i thought i'd start with an introduction and summary of my life, for the most part.

  i have a tendancy to ramble ridiculously, so bear with me :) and this will be all over the place as thoughts take over the keyboard.. i was born a 5th generation jw.

  i never really "felt" it, but was book smart about it.

  Jeremiah book study material for this week makes a horrible point!

  by stillin in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  while discussing how jeremiah was an encouragement to some of those around him, and how christians today can likewise be encouraging to depressed ones, the book plainly says, "when it is appropriate, offer encouraging words.

  you will not have a divine revelation to offer to the one needing encouragement, yet you can include positive thoughts from the word of god, thoughts that focus on what the future holds.".

  i'm sorry but this to me seems to be what is at the core of the problem with witness friendships.

  amazing to me......

  positive thoughts are great, true kindness, even better!!

  what about all the other qualities that should be shown?

  like true love, thoughtfullness, understanding, forgiveness, mercy, compassion, manners, honesty, actually caring..............

  the list could go on and on for pages.......

  just thinking, mrs thor

  2. friends

  this isn't a jw experience, but for those of you that have been following my life, i thought i'd have a drink and share this strange event in my post-jw life.. for you wonderful newbies, you can catch up on highlights of my story in the few threads i've started here.

  i'm finishing the junior year of my engineering degree and the classes are hard as hell.

  i used to be among the smartest students in the room until i hit the 300 level university courses.
