Hi Johnny:
The reason I wrote the article was because of something that happened to me the other day when I was at Church. Our priest was giving a homily on the mercy of God and was telling us how we can experience that mercy through the Sacraments.
At that moment, for whatever reason, I looked at the back of our Church and there was the back room with the sign "Reconciliation Room" on the door.
I then remembered the times people at the Kingdom Hall were taken (usually against their will) into the back room of the Kingdom Hall to be condemned and accused and controlled.
I then compared that to my experience since becoming Catholic of voluntarily going to the back room of the Catholic Church. In this room, I accuse myself of my own sins and the goal of the priest (acting in the person of Christ) was not to condemn me or to threaten me with shunning but to tell me that Jesus wants to forgive me and wants to reconcile with me and restore me to God's Universal Family.
I know of numerous individuals who went to the JW elders for assistance only to be DFed, shunned and condemned. This never happens to me in the confessional. In the confessional the priest (acting in the person of Christ) prays over me and with me and consoles me and reminds me of God's unconditional love.

Hi Clovis:
Your perspective is totally understandable. It took me years to even consider entering a Church (much less joining one) after leaving the JWs.
Just take it one day at a time.

i'd be interested in hearing your experiences, if you were newly inactive and felt pressured to go to the memorial.
did the jw's pressure you to go or did you feel guilty for missing the lord's evening meal (well, we all miss it anyway when we pass it round)
A few years ago, I was contacted by this young man whose girlfriend had started studying with the JWs. It was starting to affect their relationship in a bad way. She was going to meetings all of the time and was not associating with their friends anymore. She was invited to the Memorial and was really into it and begged her boyfriend to go with her. I was coaching him on what to say and how to say it etc.
Well, they both went to the Memorial and it was such a big let down for this girl that she quit studying.........and there was much rejoicing from this girl's boyfriend and this girl's family.
