  i just tried to go to the site and there is a goodbye message.

  i was a member there since 2010. i was really surprised.

  i had just started posting there again after being away for a while.

  Yes, it would be really good to be able to go back and copy my posts as JWR documented my hard times in dealing with leaving the witnesses. I hope they will re-open long enough for that...

  Well, I'm past fretting about JWs...But recently I decided to start posting in the ex jw community again to show support for those who need it. Those people who turned off JWR say they are doing it to move on and forget all things JW. But they are still going to think about JWs, their own ordeals, and the community they unplugged without notice. There IS NO moving on completely when every day there could be a reminder...It will be with some of us until we pass on. I do hope that with JWR gone, and their ties severed from "all things JW" that along with the relief of freedom will also come a twinge of guilt for the abrupt and selfish way they handled 'Bowing out"...

  Mickey: That being said, Seems like reasonable reasons for closing it down and the people's data and privacy thing makes good sense, BUT, people who might have really needed to stay in touch and had no other connection are shit out of luck. On the other hand, they might find each other here.....

  Well, Not sure, but an admin and a moderator both posted about leaving JWR recently. Looking back, I know why....

  Surely someone could have taken over for the ones who wanted to quit. Pass the torch. A lot of people were looking to them for help....

  I don't think they chose the right way to go about it. They should have given us notice....

  i was surfing jw recovery .com, all of the sudden a screen came up that says .

  jehovah's witness recovery.

  after much consideration, we have decided to move on to other things, and bring this site to a close.

  Sept, 17 text; "Jehovah protects his people"-- from Jehovah.

  by prologos in

  the danger for the families?

  to have their firstborn killed by jehovah, ---but teach them they will be protected by following jehovah's (gb's) instructions, even seemingly irrational.. if you do the daily text, don't pass over this opportunity.

  of the irrational passover.

  Several years ago We were on our way home from the summer assembly. I was driving our new vehicle. My wife, myself,and two friends were in the vehicle. Everyone but me was asleep. I was in the middle of a heartfelt prayer thanking Jehovah and just passing time relaying to him how much I loved him. A woman ran a stop sign and broadsided us. We were injured and lost our vehicle. Jehovah did not protect us.

  sometimes people make special connections to animals.

  sometimes they bond very deeply and are real friends.

  yesterday was the end of such a friendship that lasted ten wonderful years.
