When my boy was born I remember a nurse handed me this boy " Here is your son" and holding that little package, was more than human existence. It was my son and a bond that I would never share with an organisation.The memories of that little package sleeping between his mother and I in bed, the first bath, the time I looked at his darling face and he pissed in my eye...this was my package of human existence and we are best friends today.

midnight," After much research and prayer I am returning to Jehovers Witness...."
Looking at your post history, you have started 4 sincere O.Ps and made 36 posts, so you have thought about this sensibly. Personally I think it a shame because I feel your contribution here was a missed opportunity to satisfactory answer those questions you raised.
Anyway it must have taken great courage for you to visit here, and I hope your experience here has shown apostates are made up off all types of people, and I hope you agree we are not all "mentally diseased?"
Take care and I give your post a like, not because I agree with your decision, but for your decency to kindly explain your decision.

Now I'm Convinced There Probably Is No God
by pale.emperor inyesterday i made a visit to the museum in my city.
the top floor is the planetarium, which has a connecting room with a huge dome ceiling where they project lessons and lectures and you have a 360 view of the night sky etc.. this particular lecture explained about our galaxy, and how it's only one of billions in the universe.
and then we learned about each planet, some of their moons and the sun.

Cofty " F...k it all.."
I get your frustration, but maybe the un-written record of your contribution here is by those that have reasoned on your constructive comments and benefited from making independent decisions. That's not to say we need agree with your viewpoints, but don't underestimate your contribution on this board. Personally I have benefited greatly from your reasoned O.Ps.

Some apostates are coming across as crazed psychopaths
by jambon1 ini'm not sure whether or not my view on this is correct so please leave your input.
in recent months i've been viewing youtube videos.
again, it might just be my view but there has been an increased amount of random people grabbing a camera and doing vlogs.

When we leave the organisation our world can feel as though it is being lived without gravity, and fiull of despair, so possibly a sence of purpose is archived by those that make you tube videos. However I sadly agree many of these videos are counter productive. But I can understand how they must give emotional satisfaction. It's all part of the healing that's the way I view it.

Sir Arthur Ccnan Doyle, who wrote the Sherlock Holmes stories, got scammed big time because he believed in fairies. ( Read the story on his Wikipedia) Maybe the more imaginative minds have a greater capacity to believe in the unknown?

Does anybody remembers the song " it's a wonderful life" by a singer named Black? He died in a car crash in September 2016.

And as a family, our budgie, Charlie passed. He used to fly from his cage ( home) and eat my toast as we had a family breakfast. We put Charlie in a box and buried him in the forest and my boys last words to Charlie were "I will always love you Charlie"

Giving money is thrilling?

Translation "money is bricks and mortar in our worldwide organistion, and the greatest work in human history is building those properties with YOUR donations" The irony is that those monies are now spent on child abuse settlements.
Sadly the fact of the matter is the trick word, which is " neighbor". Sadly the implication our donation helps our " neighbor" convinces many to give to the worldwide fund.

I grew up with memories of George Michael, he attended Bushey Meads school, and I went to Cassio college when Geoge and Andy Ridgley were attending. ( Cassio college was a place kids went who failed O levels and couldn't get a place at university) I remember when I saw David Bowie, it was in Oxford Street and David Bowie walked by with a lady. He went in to a pub.
Elton John was also apart of my life. Like me he is a Watord f.c supporter ( Elton John not only gave his life to Watford F.C he spent a large part of his life and wealth taking the football club from the bottom division in English football to the top) and once at the chippy, he came in and bought chips, the security guards were outside, and he spent time buying chips and talking with us kids about the game. I was I think 11 years old at the time.
So what is the point of my story?
Well Gerri Halliway of the spice girls mother attended Watford congregation, and took Gerri on the doors occasionally . Hank Marvin guitarist of Cliff Richards "The Shadows" gave talks in the same congregation before he moved to Australia. I now live far from Watford, and I have met many talented people, not as talented as George Michael and David Bowie but more talented than Andy Ridgley and Gerri Halliway. So I have learnt that it's not appropriate to dismiss the talent of artists singing in the local pub. Their but being born in the wrong place could be them in stardom.
The world is so full of talented people, and the most talented people are often the kind and compassionate whose talents for being human we often miss.
