friends,.
i can't tell you how nice it is to have this forum to read, write and meet others that have been through the "ringer" so to speak.. i was living in england in 1995 when the first "tingle happened" upon reading the wt and the generations kwap (in elmer fud accent so i dont give my identity away).
but because of a terrible family situation and at the time looking down the road of being a single parent...i basically put it out of my mind and i "soldiered on" so to speak.. then that ill fated dc of a few years ago spurred me to think..."overlaping generations" hmmmmmm lets give that some consideration.. after doing my homework, finding out about the un involvement, silent lambs (i did know about) blood fractions (oh yeah) reading ray franz book, listenting to no college for the last time and then finding out how the $$$ collection really works for circuit assemblies, and what they did to the jw's in spain when they pulled up and moved out, plus the issues that seem to always be "redirected" i was really peeved.
Friends,
I can't tell you how nice it is to have this forum to read, write and meet others that have been through the "ringer" so to speak.
I was living in England in 1995 when the first "tingle happened" upon reading the WT and the Generations Kwap (in Elmer Fud accent so I dont give my identity away)
But because of a terrible family situation and at the time looking down the road of being a single parent...I basically put it out of my mind and I "Soldiered on" so to speak.
Then that ill fated DC of a few years ago spurred me to think..."overlaping generations" hmmmmmm lets give that some consideration.
After doing my homework, finding out about the UN involvement, Silent Lambs (I did know about) Blood Fractions (oh yeah) Reading Ray Franz Book, listenting to NO COLLEGE for the last time and then finding out how the $$$ collection REALLY works for Circuit Assemblies, and what they did to the JW's in Spain when they pulled up and moved out, plus the issues that seem to always be "redirected" I was really peeved. But I then decided I could not be associated any longer and needed to refrain from going to meetings as my blood pressure was getting way to high (I am in good health - thats a figure of speach) So..I faded succesfully. NO issues NO Fouls.
Now with the Candace Conti news in the forfront, I am proud NOT to say I am a JW and would never be able to hold my head up high due to their stance on harming families and especially children, legal documents prove those points easily (thanks to all for posting)
So I dont go, I am happier :o) <------- my happy face
Cedars, BTW, thanks for posting the 9 Reasons, and your last post on "makeweight" was MOST excellent! Blondie, you make me laugh and giggle at some of your posts, but they are THE BEST, too! The rest that I have had the privledge of PM's - thanks!
Happily I have found some good NEW friends and I am very pleased with the progress I have made over the last 2 years.
So if any of you need any help from me, just drop me a note back, I am sure to do what I can.
All the best on a happy 4th! lets eat outside tomorrow

Welcome and congrats on saying " taking it slow with your wife" I am doing the same with mine.
are you in AA for support? The peer group of staying sober is great, I am sure your wife is happy you have been drink free - make it happen "one day at time"
Take care and welcome to the REAL WORLD!
what with the very low baptism rate, many leaving, many waking up and staying in for now, but not "zealous" any more, the wt/jw religion/scam is without doubt moribund.. i do not foresee a sudden end to the wt but what will it look llike in ten years time ??.
the late teens/early twenty year olds of today will i think be very thin on the ground as 30 year old jw's, so my view is that in ten years time it will be mainly old hardcore ones ,50 yr old and up, and even they will be aware that the org.
is dying..
The World be just as bad as it is now, Obama wil be gone and the NEW Rank & File JW's will continue to come in, people are always looking for a place to belong, and the NON EDUCATED will continue to join to the Congregations in their local area. People seem to have an inherited goal to BE FLEECED every day, every year. the WTBS will continue to get their share, Nothing changes, unless there are more Candace Conti "like" stories to make the news.
Look they are spending big bucks to move Upstate and sell off all the NYC properties, they have a plan and will continue to allow the NON EDUCATED feed "the machine" with donations and free labor,
only a few years ago I Was drinking the Koolaid, help build a KH and felt good about it. Some has already come along and taken my place, but I find solace that they will not get another $$$$ penny$$$ from me -
Its the NEVERENDING STORY - have a great Day off Tomorrow!!!! Hit them Straight if you golf, if you dont go get lessons!

The reason I ask (I used to live in UK) is that you can get FREE Therapy there, the sessons, better meds for her (and you if you want to partake) can make a world of difference.
In my past experience - couples fight and have problems with only one of 2 things (or both ) SEX and MONEY - Fix one first, then the other one second, it will work if both are fixable, A real therapist - one who is a professional, can do the dirty work for you, if you have exhausted that options, then Plan "B" may be better, just make sure you tell your kids EVERY DAY - " I LOVE YOU" thats all they want to hear form their daddio.
Ciao and PM me anytime!
