I thought it was a joke! I didn't know it was possible for them to detach. Although when I was in highschool there was a guy who played basketball and had some sort of 'an accident' during practice and came back 4 weeks later with only one... but I thought it might have just been a weird rumor. In any case- Ouch!

The first time it was because I didn't like how I felt after my judicial meeting (about something that happened over a year before, private reproofing). My ex (an elders son) came out without scratches, but I felt really embarrassed and exposed and that they asked unnecessary questions. It made me very uncomfortable to be in the same room as them all. My ex was able to comment in no time at all, and no one treated him any differently. It really bothered me! I was annoyed I had to go through that, because I felt like everyone has a 'dirty little secret' even the elders, and who were they to judge me? It left a really bad taste in my mouth, and I did not want to go back, or talk to the elders that were on my committee when they came to see me at my home and work. I was glad to move.
The second time, I had been going for a few months to a new congregation where no one knew me. There was something about the material that was being covered that really bugged me. I guess because I had been away for over 2 or 3 years I was used to thinking for myself. It just seemed like no matter what the discourse was, all I heard was rules. The same rules I heard when I was younger. Dress and grooming, not marrying an unbeliever, go in service, no fornication... it was the same scriptures, the same topics, the same ideas... That kinda bugged me. Not that I was looking for new light- but I wanted to be educated more in the scriptures. When they would quote a scripture, I could easily recall what it said without looking- because they were read so often. It bothered me that all the talks were the same, I wanted to have someone just pick a random scripture and talk about it, not refer to a study article or footnote in an Awake! But everything was still the same. I remember hearing that the JW's are great because they use their bible so much (that came from a talk), but I didn't feel like they were. It also bugged me how everyone would ask if I had studied my Watchtower and my Ministry School stuff, my bookstudy, bible highlights, personal study... I had NO time to read the bible for myself. I felt like I was bombarded with articles of how to think, and act, and speak. Not to mention, someone volunteered to 'study' with me. She told me not going in service made me blood guilty- so I would have to make myself go to please Jehovah. (Like an insincere 2 hours a week would be pleasing!) I did not feel like going in service.
My husband (non JW) and I went to visit his family for a week (they are not religious) and it was so refreshing to be with people who were genuinely happy, and who didn't shun their children. It was eye opening, as in the congregation people are very quick to give you the low-down on everyones lives. It bugged me how even my elders-wife-pioneering study was a gossip and complainer of the other woman/DF'ed/young ones. The lack of sincerity and love really bugged me, and I decided I'd had it. Bye bye for good.
Sorry if I sound complainy!

Thank you so much for sharing these pictures, it looks really nice up there :) It's nice to have something as a reminder that even though there's a lot of unhappiness in the world- there is a lot of beauty and things to appreciate also! I hope to go there one day. Thanks again for sharing!

Anyone watch Oprah about Tony Alamo's child brides?
by NiceDream init was so sad to see these children raised in a crazy religion and abused by their preacher (tony alamo).
what was more disturbing was how similar some things were to jws, such as blaming the victim instead of the abuser.. one child bride made an escape from tony and ran away from his house, running for 2 miles before she reached the home of a complete stranger and asked if they could help her.
they let her stay the night and gave her money for a bus ticket to her mother in california.

I remember that documentary about the Pedophile's as well. It was very eye opening. I also remember that at the next meeting, there was a special talk about how the media distorts the truth and we shouldn't watch stuff like that. The elder basically thought it was all lies and that those who watched it shouldn't have. I remember feeling really guilty about it.
I wonder what stops them from doing shows with JWs. I would be very interested to hear of others experiences. This site has really opened my eyes, and even though there is some sadness and bad memories, I do enjoy seeing that I'm not in it alone.

My friend and I spent hours getting ready to look just so, and we always smiled at guys.. but sadly i all those teen years NO ONE ever introduced themselves or flirted. My friend once chatted up a guy, and his elder dad came over and dived right in to the convo and reminded his son he had to clean. That was the first and last attempt to be 'friendly'. And then it got to a point where all the hotties our age left, so at 19 we only had 13-15 year olds to look at. Thumbs down.
I remember one assembly the CO's wife said to us "Are you enjoying the sessions? Of course you don't care, I remember being your age and what I went to the assembly for". It wasn't our sole purpose, because we never had any luck! If I was still involved, I would probably still be single.. or married to a dude 7 years younger then me. YIKES!

I wish I had cable.
That's super sad and disturbing. There are some polygamists in the area around here and I cringe to think of what goes on in their property... It's weird how people can do stuff like that 'in the name of religion' or because they feel they are 'God's chosen minster'. He's like in his 70's isn't he? So too bad he didn't get that sentence earlier...
I feel bad for all those whose lives he made a nightmare.
