  My Final Goodbye

  by Lady Lee in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  i want to start by saying i will not participate in discussion here about my resignation as a moderator at jwn.. simon please consider this as my resignation from that position.. i have been posting on this board for almost 12 years.

  i know some of you a lot, others a little and some not very well at all.

  i have remained here for those of you who have needed support as you make the transition out of the wts, who needed someone to listen to your experiences of abuse at the hands of jehovah's witnesses, and to both laugh and cry with you as you progress out of the watchtower society.. we know that we have all experienced the cruelty of abuse of one kind or another.

  Ray Franz repeat?

  by zound in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if one of the current governing body members pulled a ray franz and stepped down/got disfellowshipped then either wrote an expose or something else to go against the watchtower society - would they be forgiven and accepted by the ex-jw community?.

  considering they have ray's example behind them i find it more deplorable that they continue in their paths, and personally would find it hard, though not impossible to forgive them - but am interested in everyones opinion....

  2. scandals

  hi guys, i'm new to the site.. sorry to bring up an old topic.

  but just wondering if anyone knew if the brochure referred to in the infamous un letter of 2004 is available to read anywhere?

  this is the brochure of 1991 (before the supposed "changed language that we cannot subsribe to").

  Apostacitis

  by Rufus T. Firefly in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  apostacitis is a term denoting a condition with which the watchtower society has become thoroughly infected, particularly since the year 1981 when sincere christians who merely resigned from the organization over principled differences in belief became viewed the same as unrepentant wrongdoers (1 cor.

  5:11) and as those rejecting the good news about the christ (2 john 9-11).

  there was a time when news of one becoming an apostate was so rare among witnesses that it sent shockwaves throughout the organization.

  U.S. Chronic Pain Patients -- No More Pain Meds

  by Lady Lee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the american pain foundation has closed its doors due to lack of funding and a growing hostile environment towards those who suffer with chronic pain.. with deep regret and heavy hearts, we sadly inform you that due to irreparable economic circumstances, apf must cease to exist, effective immediately.

  on may 3, 2012, the board of directors formally voted to dissolve the organization.. the board and staff have worked tirelessly over many months to address a significant gap between available financial resources and funds needed to remain operational.

  unfortunately, the economic situation has not changed in any meaningful way, despite our best efforts.. apf hopes to be able to transfer content from various information, education, and support programs to other organizations so that you may continue to benefit from the value these programs have provided to thousands of individuals and families across the country.. your personal experiences in living with pain and seeking compassion, empathy and medical care often against the odds -- have driven our efforts over these many years.

  my grandpa was a slobbering abusive drunk.

  he treated my gramma like shit.

  he was also abusive to his two children, my father and his sister, my aunt.

  What,s a dysfunctional family in your opinion???

  by jam in

  1. social
  2. humour

  just recently a family i know well (non-jw) big problems.. i thought my family (my ex and my kids) and other jw family.

  members were dysfunctional but no comparison to this family.. i have known families that became jw,s, their famliy were.

  dysfunctional but in a strange way their family became strong.. my thought , if you have one child that goes amok that ,s not.

  My friend from 40 Years ago

  by Lady Lee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was a young jw and all the other young jws were avoiding me because i was from "that family" i had one young girlfriend who didn't care.

  we were both not well liked so we hung out together.

  she was my maid of honor when i got married but we lost touch because soon after the wedding we moved to "where the need was great" to help set up another cong in our hall.

  How many ways....

  by Lady Lee in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ... can you name that the wts hurts people?.

  two big ones for me:.

  it pushes people to the edge and when they commit suicide they say: "well he wasn't really a jw anyways soit has nothing to do with us".. it pushes people so much to do more and more and more that they get depressed, and physically sick.
