joannadandy, I hope and pray that Jason fares well. I don't know anyone personally that has been called in. He has my deepest respect for committing himself to protect those he knows and those he will never know. When he comes back send my regards and a big hug to thank him. Keep us updated okay?

Welcome Chaosmama. Thank you for sharing your (and your SIL) situation with us. It is difficult to understand the type of control the JW's have over you until you are able to get away from them. I find myself saying over and over "I can't believe I fell for it for so many years." I was sort of raised in it. My mother started studying with them when I was four years old. I can say that at least my intentions were sincere, once I was able to see what I was buying into, my sincerity compelled me to leave.

I am so sorry to see how far that thread progressed. I went to bed right after I posted there. I had hoped that my having so many IP's show up would have helped. Please don't let it get to you. I know that it is easier said then done, but don't we have enough baggage to carry? So many of us here have so much in common including/especially our pain. I knew from my own reading of your posts that I value your input here. I am free to make up my own mind. I don't hunt for trolls, they have their own way of showing us who they are.
I will also add that I like blackout, razor and kat too, along with many many others.

EVERYONE knows that using two aliases and having double personalities is not acceptable.

maybe I am paranoid...
by Azalo indoes anyone know if there are spies who monitor these boards?
has anyone unintentionally "outed" themselves solely by posting on these boards?
i have been out for over 7 years now but my family is still in and i am afraid of giving too many details about myself for fear that someone will inform them.

I am not attending. I will be right here getting my proper encouragement. Last year was the first year I missed. I was rushing home from work, no matter what route I tried traffic was jammed. At one point I heard an accident behind me so I turned my car around to make sure the driver was okay. I then again tried to hurry home, I was in a state of panic. When I finally made it home it was time for the Memorial to start, a peaceful calm came over me. I appreciate the sacrifice that Jesus suffered for us so I went inside and my daughter and I went over the scriptures that lead up to Christ's death. I realize now that the pressure that the WT puts on you takes the joy out of the occasion. I won't even have to go to the expense of a new dress to show off.

Who would have left if....
by hippikon ininspired by a recent thread quoting from an awake.
some people who were once faithful christians have purposely drawn away from god,perhaps because of bitterness,pride, or greed, and are now "apostate fighters" against god's spirit.they willfully oppose what the spirit is clearly accomplishing.
have these induividuals committed the unforgiveable sin?

I don't see God as corrupt, so if the organization is corrupt I want no part of it, it couldn't have God's blessings. I hope that the accomplishment is: that those who want to do God's will are able to leave that corrupt organization after seeing it in that light.

1 year later
by DIM inwell its been a little over 1 year since my wife moved from pa to wa in hopes of starting a new life....its amazing how things and people change over time.
we've basically become much much happier people without the awful influence of the wts...so relaxed in fact, that my wife is now pregnant and we are starting a family...i guess my "guys" worked alot better w / out the stress of the wts....strange how people change too, one of our best friends, "collegegirl", isn't really close to us anymore and we've made a bunch of friends out here...i guess satan really does bless good people.
yeah!

DIm & Mrs. Dim, congratulations. Isn't it wonderful to know that you will be able to raise a child in a happy family home. You won't have to regret later that he/she missed out on so much.
a toast to your new life-cheers
