hey y'all.
i just wanted to officially make my debut on https://www.jehovahs-witness.com and introduce myself.
i'm an old jwrer, and it looks like i'll be dropping in on here now for cult updates and friendly conversation.. a little about myself:.

well, thats it folks.. my identity on here has been rumbled and reported to the elders.
someone, somehow, has figured out that im a member of this site and - rather than speak to me - has promptly reported me to the elders.
i just feel sad for my daughter.
I am pale.emperor.
i've posted these before but this one looks more "official".. .
Who needs KHs anymore? With everything online, they can be indoctrinated at home!

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.
Way to step up, snugglebunny. I am so sorry for your family's loss.

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.
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 wanted to write my experience on how my husband helped me see the ttatt (the truth about the truth).
first, let me mention that he wrote his own experience a couple months ago under the name sanchy.
for his story please click hereā¦.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5148261828526080/walking-thin-line-resigning-elder
Wow, just wow...I am so proud of both of you!

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...
no early warnings or anything, just gone!
anyone else notice or are members there?
any info would be nice.
Go to Designer Stubble's thread...Fugue wants to buy the site and is asking for help if it happens.

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

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.
