What did NOT get you out?

by problemaddict 2 in

i realize this is odd, but a "how you woke up" thread and the personal stories that are told which i know we all enjoy, made me think of this.

in helping my wife and a couple others get the ball rolling, i realized the thing that resonated with me, didn't even move the needle with them.

i wanted to rail on and on about blood, because that was my conduit to waking up, but for my wife it was about shunning.

I didn't leave the witnesses because of any doctrines. Long Story!

How do you get over all the things that you missed? The stuff you can't get back

by JW_Rogue in

look my life is not bad but sometimes i just think about all the normal things i missed out on.

and no i'm not talking about christmas and birthday parties.

i'm talking about your first kiss happening in your twenties instead of your teens.

just curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.

there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.

i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.

Chicago is a very bad city to live in. Donald Trump once talked about bringing Feds to the City! I really do hope the son has absolutely nothing to do with the crime! I think living in the suburbs would be better than living in the city.

i was wondering if you guys think if the general public cares about our stories or if they even care what the watchtower does to people??

I have not read all of your replies yet but if I was Never a JW and that I know VERY little about what ex-jws have been through, I would not give a flying fuck about what they have been through!

Should a JW accept Veteran payments?

by Tantalon in

hello people,.

i was born in but long time faded.

i think i hold current jws to a higher standard than they now maintain.. here's the thing; my father is very old, in his nineties and been a jdub for over 60 years and even made it to elder till he got too old.on a recent visit my siblings and dad were saying how wonderful that veterans affairs were.

My Late Step Grandfather was a MS, never an Elder. He raised my Mom from age of 10. He was having hard time looking for work in a very rural area til he found a job with Lockheed. It was Obviously a Automatic Disassocation from JW. He worked there for a long time! When he retired from Lockheed, he began attending the meetings again and he got reinstated! He did receive a very nice pension and benefits!
