I would probably be in the crazy house if not for JWN. This site and www.jwfacts.com led me out of the Watchtower hold. I can't say it was still an easy thing to leave, but this took the edge off, keeping it bearable.
Much thanks to all here, forever indebted.
so my mom was telling me that my aunt is going to be hosting a gb member and wife, cos and do for dinner after their dc this summer.
i immediately blurt out, "that sounds stressful.
" which is met with dead silence.
I would open a can of spaghetti as a side dish with boiled hotdogs and serve it to them on a paper plate.
i am just wondering how many here have gone through the experience of being disfellowshipped and divorced?
i am currently in that situation and sometimes i am afraid of what to expect.
thankfully i have a good core of friends, but nonetheless i still find myself somewhat nervous of what to expect in my new life.
I just left the organization 2 1/2 yrs ago, and people think it is admirable how I left this religion after having been in it for 56 years. People say I am brave. The opposite sex does not seem to be scared off by my cult past either. Anyone who would not want to become friends with you because of your JW past is probably not worth having in your life.
You are young, I wish I had learned ttatt at your age. Go for it and make the most of it. Life does begin at 40 you know, it's true. You have a way to go still.
it sucked.
the co said that the term, " the truth " means " truthful understanding of the scriptures.
" he also said that the truth does not change.
Sorry you had to listen to this load of lies and fabrication.
...sneaking into my hospital while i'm there and leaving magazines in all my waiting rooms?.
it's like they have predator suits or something.
pesky boogers.. by the way, if the person or persons who are doing this ever read on this site please know that i pick them up within 30 minutes of your leaving them.. .
I don't know about the stickers. I think the Watchtower literature should be distroyed, lest it find it's way into someone 's hands who are vulnerable to cults. When I find the magazines in waiting rooms I always tear them up and throw them away. This happens often.
i have recently been having a feeling of guilt for having escaped the w.t while so many friends and family remain trapped.. has anyone else ever had similar feelings?.
Today, everyone has the same opportunity to learn ttatt, at least where there is Internet availability. My old JW friends have all heard the rumors that I am an "apostate.". They do not seek me out, no calls, letters or visits. They are on their own. I have taught ttatt to everyone I really care about.
it looks like candce's lawyer is pulling the same thing wtbt$ does.
respondant did not file their brief on time:.

This better not mess the case up. What is going on here?
just wanting to post an experience by a former bethelite.
the first part was just published with the other two coming overt the next couple of weeks.
click the link.
It is amazing how many exBethelites are no longer active Jehovah's Witnesses. Reading accounts like this explains why.
as most of you know we got a very angry letter from our oldest son.
it hurt her very much.
i feel so bad for her because he attacked her for what i feel was very unfair.
Do let us know about any future contact. People grange and grow. Your son may wake up one morning and feel compelled to reunite with you nd his father.
i recently came to the realization that the organization is corrupt and is false.
my story is similar to many i think.
i was raised in the religion, pioneered and served as an elder for a number of years.
Welcome, come on in, the water is fine.
