Thanks for the video. I'm sure the series you do will help others who have questions and/or doubts.
Please keep sharing your vids on this forum but if I went to YouTube how would I find your channel - what's your handle there?

Counselled on chatting to a study!
by Penn9 inhey all, i'm new to posting, but i've lurked for a while.
quick intro: i'm a 25 yr old guy, brought up a jw, strayed for a while, then got baptized convinced it was the best thing for me, the rest of the world is satanic, etc.
i overcame that ridiculous belief and i know the truth about "the truth" but my friends and family are all deep into the cult so leaving is a huge risk that i'm not willing or ready to take.

Lots of good advice here already. I almost let The Org. come between me and my 'worldly' partner. I'm glad I didn't! We've been happily married two years now. I hate to think of all I'd have missed out on in the last few years if I'd not rejected the controling rules of the WBTS and made that initial call which led to us becoming a couple.
My circumstances were different though - none of my family were or are 'in' and I no longer had any priviledges to lose. I suppose you've got to decide how important this person is to you and how much you are willing to risk in going after your own 'happily ever after....'

Thanks fokyc. It's interesting to glance through a KM again. To think how much I used to eagerly await the arrival of each new KM when I was a JW! Ick!

I went out this morning and voted. It felt SO good to have a say, to make my 'voice' heard! I was grinning like a fool all the way back home afterward. It's the second time in my life that I've done that. It is such a liberating feeling. Damn The Watchtower for robbing me of this for all my adult life until recently!
Bah the WBTS that forbids its followers from enjoying the responsibility of shaping their communities/countries by participating in the electoral process!
And WAKE UP all you lurkers sitting on the fence - life is passing you by. Don't let the Organisation rob you of what time you have to live and truly enjoy life, to participate in actvities that benefit others now - not in some never-coming promised pie-in-the-sky-paradise lie!
Whoo-hoo! Get out there and VOTE!!!

Quick question, what does it mean when its announced that someone is no longer a Jehovah's witness?
by Joey Jo-Jo inas the title asks, does this mean that the person has been disfellowship on the basis on what the wb&ts considers as a sin or would this more like the person no longer wants to be a jw?.

Not a dumb question Joey Jo-Jo. Give it some time, you'll get an answer.
I've been out of the JW loop for quite some time but I think that announcement could mean either the person was disfellowshipped or has disassociated themselves. Either way the person is no longer a JW.
Perhaps someone who knows for sure will step in and let us know....

Hello Carol. You'll find this a wonderful place. Very helpful in dealing with all the negatives that come from being ex-JW. Good Luck in your journey to recovery and a truly wonderful, full and happy life!

Forgot it was supposed to be yesterday. But even if I had remembered wouldn't have gone. I'd always found it tasteless, boring and would leave afterward somehow feeling let down by the whole affair. (And then feeling guilty for feeling that way! ) Fantastic to be free of this obligation!

Just dropping a line to express appreciation for the tremendous effort and work that goes into your 'Comments you will not hear...' posts. Thank you for reading through all that drudge and highlighting the questionable/faulty teaching!
