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.

Love your post Jane M. The sudden closing of JWR has prompted me to look at a number of things, one being "Is it time for me to move on as well?" JWR was a good fit for me...these other sites, no offense, I'm not so sure about. I am 57 and have been out of the org for many years. I've been in therapy and have made a lot of progress...so why AM I still here? I think the answer is that I still want to be there for others who need help. JWR was such a help to me...maybe I need to try and pay it forward a bit. And maybe I do still need to connect with some others who understand this very strange part of my background...and maybe I will still struggle with the old JW crap from time to time and need to vent. So for now, here I am. And if another recovery focused site comes along (Fugue...) I'll be there.

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!?

I am always amazed by the ego it takes to deny the fact of one's own death...

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,

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.

by StarryNight9 in

jw

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?
