hello friends.
my fleshy sister is seriously getting to my nerves.
she's my only (and younger) sister, and as you know, is married to an uber-circuit overseer.
They will be on you until you die, if you don't leave. Just fade and keep yourself neutral. We moved congregations out of the circuit and faded, It's turned out great for my wife and me.
If you want the suffering and pressure to continue, then stay. Watch out for your health and take care of your immediate family.
Thank you for your story
warning, novel ahead:.
after a few months of lurking on this site, i've decided to take the plunge...i don't really care so much about introducing myself, but somehow there is some relief in the thought of getting my little story out there, just getting it out of my system.
i am the oldest of 5 kids.
My wife, family and I welcome you. My mother gave study to a very humble and striving family like yours. She sure as hell surprised me in having the patience at the time for this study, being that my mother looked down on everyone around her/including us, her children. I eventually came to grasp that my mom had so many studies because she wanted to save herself, and this was her selfish main interest. I congratulate you for surviving and still keeping your head up. My studies in psychology, and my wife's intelligent ways helped us through our fading away. We had our huge JW wedding along with our ceremony in the hall. We faded weeks after, and what helped is that we moved away to a new house and never reported to our new hall. It was slightly uncomfortable at first since the brothers would come and look for us. What also helped is that we kept our gate locked and they couldn't come into our property. (The gate is 40 yards from our front door, LOL!!! "We can't hear you brothers!..")
Our message to you is this, being away gets easier by the week and before you know it, you will feel that you are happy without all the scrutiny and self-righteous behavior that the brothers and sisters are eager in dishing. If you feel you need religion, then seek one that fits you, and your future mates needs. We got distant from all men's writings and have studied too much and learned too much to go back to religion. We wish you an ongoing enlightenment and a joyous opening to your options.
i joined this site 12 years ago and i revisited it yesterday to get some information on coc's status.. .
frankly saying, i've tried to be a complete ex-ex-jw so that ex-jw things would not drive my life mad.
due to my linguistic barrier of writing in a foreign language, 12 years ago, i could not but read and read and read this site.
Nice job!
just have to vent as this has been commented on before.
some of you know about my son's condition and how he almost died had it not been for the transfusion he received.. my wife took him to the children's hospital for routine labs and pain in his leg.
on the way in she saw a jw cart right outside the outpatient exit.
i made a quick run to lowes to buy some paint and ran into a brother.
he is one of those elders that is very, very, petty.
if he drops by your house unexpected and notices that your kids are watching one of the star wars movies, he will counsel you for allowing your kids to watch any movie that has to do with war he will then make sure you are not recommended for any privilege.
References to past experiences good or bad are necessary to prove a point and to keep us from making mistakes again. This is the material that historical study is made of. We need to reference historical events to prove this stupid organization wrong. Oversensitivity has no room in academia, nor research. Excellent job uncovering all the absurd belief and false name of god. I wish I was with you that day John, I would've called him Barney to his narcissistic f@#*%Tard face. I love pissing off self righteous idiots. Excellent story!
15 years ago ceo scott mcnealy said those famous words; you have zero privacy anyway.
everyone has a phone with a camera.
every day someone leaks a sex video.
i just heard this a few minutes ago by a jw friend who is still an elder in my old hall.
the kingdom hall i used to attend and my mom still attends was paid off many years ago and serves about 6 congregations.
one of the english congregations has a lot of financially well of members.
As a psych major. This guy wants to portray a youthful appearance not only with the shirt, but also with the boy haircut. Sick bastard! Bring him to El Paso!!!!
greetings to all, i am new to this site and am enjoying the topics.
briefly, my family suffered my older/deceased brother's molestation when he was 13, in the congregation.
to this day, my mother still defends the elders that dealt with this situation.
I am so looking forward to seeing the results of the RC. I hope they stick it to them..
Thanks for the comments guys.

Greetings to all, I am new to this site and am enjoying the topics. Briefly, my family suffered my older/deceased brother's molestation when he was 13, in the congregation. To this day, My mother still defends the elders that dealt with this situation. It sickens me to know the power this organization has over the followers. My elderly father still cries over not defending him when it happened, and this happened because my mom had my dad under severe control. Even though it has been a few decades since this happened, it still hurts.
Please tell me your brief stories, If you suffered anything similar?
