  so ... i don't know if any of this is even of interest any more, i know i'm getting kinda bored with it :) so many other more interesting stories out there.

  anyway, limped my way through 17 years being a jw until now.

  not a good jw mind you.

  Is he just an old blow hard? All bark and no bite? Just trying to get a sense of how he really is...not to say that his behavior hasn't been abusive...It has and he needs to check himself. You have a right to choose your own path, whether it is a spiritual one or not, and whether he likes it or not. I like the idea of calmly stating that you no longer consider yourself one of JWs, for personal reasons. You don't need any help from the elders and you won't accept any sheperding calls. For personal reasons. You owe no one any explanation. Period. No need for raised voices; your decision has been made. Therapy will give you tools to handle your marital situation in the way that's best for you...and don't be afraid to vent with us. The feelings you're expressing are valid and valued.

  Hugs,

  Hello Everyone

  by Mozzie in

  hoping this is the right section..... my story so far,,,.

  hello everyone, i have been reading a lot on what most jws would say apostate websites, but i have been asking myself, how much of this s true and considering a lot of these are run by ex jw elders, bethalites and one who was with the gb at one stage, overseers and the like.

  i was an unbaptized publisher many years ago but never got to the point of baptism as i fell into sin, that pretty much ended my attending meetings again.

  The jws have taught you to be very hard on yourself. You have a good life with your partner...enjoy it. Take your time, do your research. There is no hurry. Armageddon isn't coming.

  I just reread this post. Forgive me, I had forgotten that you've already given her a lot of information to think about. It sounds as though she's been unhappy in her family life (her home sounds more like a prison) and it's a respite and relief for her to spend time with you. She really likes you, but she's needing you to drink the Kool-Aid with her. It would be nice if you both could leave the Kool-Aid out of it and just agree to disagree...but is that even possible for her?

  Hi Simon,

  I remember you from JWR. She's still seeing you, after all these months! Wow, she must be feeling very conflicted. Does she know about the ARC hearings, or the $4,000 per day fines the WTS is paying to avoid producing its records on pedophiles? These are not apostate lies; they are matters of public record. As a mother, I wonder what her thoughts would be on these issues. There's also a secular reporter, Trey Bundy, who has compiled a good deal of information about JW sexual abuse and policies. Again, none of this info is from apostate sources.

  Good luck!

  it was a shock despite us being divorced for over 40 years.

  my son from that marriage phoned me with the news of sandra's death a couple of days ago, followed by my daughter.. sandra was one of 5 siblings.

  the other 4 are still jw's.

  hello everyone, it's been quite a while since i was last on this forum.

  originally i was under a different user name, but lost all that information when i moved to a different state.

  anyways, i had left the jws back in 2001, after being raised up in it most of my childhood life.

  RSVP that you are coming but that you'll be staying as long as you like. It was rude of the inviting party to extend a conditional invitation.

  So, two JW men knock on our door tonight at about 8pm

  all they did was invite us to a convention on the other side of town in mid-july.

  my husband tried to engage them and asked where he could send them some information.

  they showed him the address for the convention center across town-yeah, they are going to get it there.

  You're right, it is stupid. My mother would have thought so...when she did it, they actually knew their stuff.
