Last year, a "sister" sent me holiday gifts on Farmville, only to turn around and call me out for sending some back! She decided it wasn't right, and posted a condescending message on my board. Oh the hypocrisy! I sure don't miss it.

Children of adult ex-jw's

by man in black in

my wife and i were both jw's for the past 28 years.

we left two years ago, we wrote our da letters and split.. my wife felt very contained, there was no room to grow.

i started to fade slowly, but when my mom died, i saw the complete lack of love from the brothers and that sealed the deal for me.. we have two sons, 22 and 26, who we raised as witnesses, not the die hard type, just try and do your best.

I am a born in child, and I recently left at age 27. Unfortunately, I'm still in the angry phase. I hate the fact that I wasted most of my life trying to be someone I wasn't. Although I tried to explore different spiritual paths, they all feel false to me, and sometimes I feel like life has no purpose which gets depressing. My sister also left the religion and is an atheist.

I don't blame my parents though. I know that they did the best they could, and tried to raise us with good morals to protect us from some of the things they went through growing up. Children and teenagers experience suffering no matter what. And it has made me a stronger person, and I've learned invaluable lessons.

It's brave of you to leave the religion, I wish my parents and inlaws would. Time heals all things. And your children are lucky to have parents who love them unconditionally.

Ziddina - Here's a link for USPS International mail: http://www.usps.com/prices/first-class-mail-international-prices.htm

It looks like Canada is $0.75, Mexico is $0.79, and all other countries are $0.98 for a small letter under 1 oz.

Hope that helps!

Someone Came Knocking Today...

by titch in

well, an interesting thing happened today, here in southern california.

as i was sipping my morning coffee, i heard a distinct knocking on my door.

the front door was closed, so i didn't open it.

Nice_Dream

I've had 4 visits this month! The old school elders ring the doorbell...so I disabled it. But the elder who came by was just on regular service, and he knocked really, really softly.

I hated bothering people at their home, so I would always knock softly and hope people wouldn't come to the door! My husband would ring doorbells and I would get mad at him and tell him it was too early to disturb people, lol.

Full transcripts of judicial case.

by Hobo Ken in

in january 2009 i was disfellowshipped from jw's.

i documented the whole process and recorded it which you can find here:- death or obedience.

many people asked for english transcripts of these recordings and i'm pleased to say i now have full transcripts kindly supplied anonymously for those who wish to read them.. these will be of great help to those who have trouble hearing or cannot understand the scottish accents on the recordings.. they are available here:- the trial of a jehovah's witness the new site has it's own audio link for each transcript so you can listen along as you read.. the person who has supplied me is interested in the moral and ethical issues this case has thrown up.
