Hi Everyone

by Wayward in

i just came over from jwr.

a little background: my mom converted to the witnesses when i was five.

i was baptized at 14, was mentally out by 18, and successfully faded by the time i was 25. mom and both my younger sisters and their families are still in.

Hi Wayward. I came from JWR too. You might not know me because I posted little in recent times. I joined this site right around the same time as JWR, but spent most of that time on JWR. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you better.

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.

Hey there Quee! I'm glad now that I joined both sites with the same username. Rifter never seemed to be much of a hugger. He was more of a hall monitor than someone you look to for help and friendship. The mods were better at giving a helping hand. It's like an era in my life has concluded, sort of. But hey, This is a good site with lots of info and many caring people. My new Exjw home...

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.....
