Wow huh?
many members just as in the catholic church have molested children and are not punished nor turned in to the police..
Guardian ... welcome, tell us a bit about yourself.
Shocking that there are many elders & r&f who have
molested children.

been lurking for years, but couldn't log on.
for some reason, my email spam filter is inaccessable, and ended up having to open another account, simply to become a member... wonder how many others have had a similar problem.. its been an eye opener reading everyones life experiences, often so similar.. i was almost a born in, with a hardcore family.
abusive stepfather who was one of the original jws in the area, so much so, that it was called the xxxxx family religion.... been out for 25 years, am glad every day for that!!.
Hello Mikado ..welcome, looking forward to
hearing more from you ....are you married? Kids?
Shunned? Don't reveal specifics ...just to be safe.
a couple of paradise earth questions: .
1) if you are a married, baptized witness couple (both people being baptized) and armageddon arrives, will the couple still be married on paradise earthtm?
2) if you are married to an unbelieving mate (ubm) and armageddon arrives, will the witness be free to remarry on paradise earth?.
HeyThere ....strange??? No kidding!!!!haha
i have been posting into the forum since 2001(my previous avatar was "justhuman" and when forum changed to net, i couldn't retrieve my old avatar so i had to use a similar one and log in again).
almost 15 years are gone.
made some friends here, including mr flipper and one that i really miss dearly is oompa.
JustHuman ...with you in spirit & feeling sad, not
for your 'graduation' but for the way you were
stripped of so much ...as most ex's have been.
Sorry for your lonliness & pain ... caused only
by a deceptive cult ...it was not necessary at all.
They say "oh no we don't shun, we love everyone"
We know better don't we!
I wish you so many great things for your life,
you deserved much better. Be happy now & plse
come back and tell us how you are.

some guys visited me a couple of times, and i asked them about the book of revelation.
one of them brought me a red book with a lot of illustrations and at the end of every page or so the guy had dated the day he had read it.
he also marked certain passages.
Leave it on the steps of the KH.
i am about to initiate the project that has been many years in the making.
those close to me know what it is.
i have a unique situation, and i am going to capitalize on it.. i hate to be this cryptic and shit, but i just wanted to let those who know in on that it is about to go down.. wish me luck!.
Oh come on Zeddy ...you know you want to tell us!
Give a hint at least.
i'm cleaning up my home of unnecessary magazines/newsletters that i have accumulated over the years.
while i was working as an employee i did not feel like i had the time to read them.
now that i'm not working as an employee but work as a volunteer to network and maintain workplace skills, i seem to have more time to read.. after reading many threads by former jws, i thought that the following article might help some to heal.
The oppressed will always believe the worst about themselves.”

Jw members are so down trodden it doesn't even
occur to them that they are being abused!

disclaimer: this is a rub a dub serious comment (i can only do the serious stuff every so often when i haven't had enough fiber in my diet).. i was in a group with several brothers after the sunday meeting and brought up the new information about the artificial blood.
only one had heard of it but most thought it was a good idea.. i then mentioned that i guess the new e-cigarettes are a good idea too.
one mentioned that we don't smoke.
poor sod.
i felt quite sorry for him in the end.. for context, i was brought up as a jw since i was very young.
i left 6 years ago (faded) a little before turning 30. i was on here a lot around that time but under a different profile that's no longer active.. for the past 18 months, i'm back living in the territory of the congregation i grew up in.
Oh wow ... which will I choose... a cult.....or a cult!
