there was a brother in my congregation who was an elder.
he got disfellowshipped about two years ago for looking at child porn and also trying to meet up with a thirteen year old boy online.
he was also arrested soon after this.

when i found out "ttat" i felt like muhammad ali when joe frazer knocked him down in their first fight in the 15th round.
the ref came over grab my gloves and looked me in the eyes and asked me "are you ok, can you continue" and then gave me the standing 8 count.
no it didn't knock me out but it staggered me.
Huge welcome to you No retreat! Loved your story.
All the best to you both!

incredible.

so i asked, " isn't it 100 years since 1914 ?
"She certainly can't unhear what I told her"
Ha ha ..I agree, she will never get those words
out of her head!!!!! .... Sooner or later *****
i lurked for 2 years on this site before i joined in july 2013. what a roller coaster ride it has been.. first of all, i was a very active jw for those unfamilar with my story having been a longtime elder(21 years), regular pioneer (14 years), convention & assembly speaker, etc.
i am still an active witness because i am older now, with close to 40 years in the borg with some longtime friends.
boy how i have changed!
James Jackson ...... enjoyed your rant, were there
overtones of grieving ?.........or is that just me.
This whole process is a bit like having a bucket of
cold water dropped over your head!!!
.
During my last few years ...the thought of actually
inviting an 'interested person' to the meeting, was
a huge source of frustration for me. As single woman
I felt pretty much ignored. So I just couldn't imagine
subjecting a stranger to this depressing situation and
calling it 'gods happy people', with love so great they
wouldn't even be invited out for a cup of coffee!!!
.
Because life at the KH for me was so awful...the house
of cards came down very quickly...........
For someone else who has a goodbuddy or partner at
their side and a lot of 'pull' in the congregation their
comfort level at the meetings would probably keep
them sitting in their places a bit longer.
.
Love that you are here James Jackson. I wish you
and your wife the happiness & the freedom that you so
deserve.

This is all you can say .... why don't you learn to read!
They lied and sent me out to preach those lies for
50 years!
They said my mother would not go through menopause
and neither would I.
My mother now has died of old age and my daughters
have gone through menopause and all the grandchildren
are older than I was, when I got baptized!
They are still lying today & twisting scripture along
with all that crazy shit, trying to make it sound OK!!!
Have a listen to how they are doing this, as this video
talks about the NEW BOOK that "explains away" all their
BS!

i'm back with the fourth part of my life experience.
it was a much shorter gap since i posted the previous installment.
the part will mean little if the previous ones haven't been read.
Eiben...well how does it feel to you to reach this point?
I applaude your stick-to-it-ness!
I can feel your struggle to crawl & escape
the mire of your life .....a goo that all of us
have had to scrape off our boots! I am still
working on it!
I look forward to seeing your liberation &
feeling your happiness when this episode has
ended.............. and you are free at last!
