message from designer stubble to the former jwr members.

first of all i am glad to see that many of you have found your way to this great forum, facilitated by simon.

i am sure that after the dust of the jwr shutdown has settled, you will find this to be a good new home.. i would like to apologize for the sudden closure of jwr.

Fugue, you're right. JWR was the best site for people who needed help getting out. I really hope you can make this happen.

Hugs,

"how awful it must be to be dying as an apostate!"

by purrpurr in

i heard today about a former jw/now apostate who is dying in hospital.

this information was accompanied by the comment of "wouldn't be awful to be lying there in hospital,dying as an apostate!

knowing that you have no hope!?

Worldling9

I would rather die knowing that I did my best to be kind and tolerant, that I have a loving family, and that my friends are genuine, not fake or conditional.

JWR usernames list

by StarryNight9 in

i created this thread so that jwr members can list their old jwr username with their username for whatever site they've moved to.

i apologize if this has already been created somewhere else.. jwr = starrynight.

jwd = starrynight9.

First exchange in years about JW religion with my wife...

by NVR2L8 in

today my wife showed me the new medical directive and power of attorney form she got at the meeting.

surprisingly she asked if i wanted to fill mine!

i have been inactive for 6 years and i don't go close to any jw gatherings because i don't want friends who only care for me unless i share their beliefs.

I'm new here and this may have been covered before, but I've always been suspicious of the new light re: blood fractions. Could the rules have changed because a higher-up JW was in dire need of a transfusion?

C'mon folks...DS doesn't deserve this. He came on here to try and do some damage control and some of you are being a bit extreme with your criticisms. As for Rifter...he screwed up. Never once did he claim to be a psychologist, however. HE kept the site going after someone else needed to get out. We all wish it had been done differently but maybe we should step back and get some perspective here. Nobody died, after all.

Hey jwundubbed,

I am really glad to find you here. You always give us something to think about, though we may not always agree. Trying to put myself in the position of someone new to JWR for whatever reason...if it were me, I would have kept searching or made an appointment with a therapist, or called a hotline of necessary. I do understand that some may feel too vulnerable to trust another site. I get it. And I'm not saying that I agree with the way JWR was shut down. I DO wish we'd been given some time and support. But it wasn't my decision...and none of us can be responsible for the reactions of thousands of people. It's difficult for all of us to one degree or another...I'm just doing my best to respond like an adult while presenting another way to look at things. That's all.
