EDIT: sorry 'so confused' - it's almost midnight here and it's been a looong day.
I'll take the opportunity to say 'Goodnight' and 'Goodbye'. Hope you have a good week.
i was brought up around the truth.
my dad was disfellowshiped when i was young, around 6-7. he was a elder and very devoted even going to jail when he was younger for the truth.
he had a stroke and started preaching things that the society was not teaching and he was disfellowshiped.

Hello On the Fence. Your confusion is understandable and there are many here who have been where you are. Give yourself the time you need to digest all the information. Take things slowly, talk to your husband - discuss the things - the real truth - you are learning about the WBTS and the JW teachings. Just take things slowly. You are very fortunate that you can have his support - that you can support each other - as you take steps to true freedom.
This forum can be very helpful. You might want to also check out JWfacts. On YouTube have a look at exgileadmissionary's videos: they helped me a lot in understanding how faulty JW doctrine is.
Please also be assured that you've nothing to fear where Armageddon and your son is concerned. I came into contact with 'The Truth' over two decades ago and we are STILL no where near 'the end' that they terrorize people with.
If it might help, please have a read of this experience: http://s0rt3d.blogspot.co.uk/2010/07/is-there-life-after-truth.html

they were strangers and temporary residents.
from the world, satans wicked system.
as temporary residents in this wicked.
How you manage to stomach the lies in the Watchtower study to do this so regularly and so thoroughly.... I don't know! However, I've got to say that it's a fantastic job you do, Blondie
I've no doubt that your comments go a looong way in helping lurkers and fence-sitters to see more clearly the deceitful nature of the WBTS so, round of applause to you for the brilliant effort and a hearty 'Thank You!' as well!
please hear this song in rememberance of the women massacred on this day ....

dad was a great man, great, despite the religion.
he was powerful, tall and intelligent, yet humble and kind.
he was an introvert, and a circuit overseer.
I'm deeply sorry to hear of your loss, jwfacts. Your dad sounds like a lovely person whose kindness and caring would have made difficult times in the org. easier to face/go through. The apple didn't fall far from the tree: via your site you've been - and are - just like your dad toward/for a lot of us. Thank you and all strength to you when you go to your old hall. I'm sure many of us will be there with you in spirit.
it's sort of funny how the internet has turned into the bugaboo of the governing body's existence.
imagine the nerve of people masquerading as ip addresses, with no congregation secretary to track back to!.
of course, "apostates/former jw's" have a view of the internet that sometimes isn't all to realistic either.
Great post!
