Oh, no! The dreaded man-flu during all this AND the holidays! So sorry to hear that!
Yes, both accounts are connected to the same email.
Thanks again, and do take care,

Simon, please get some rest. The only reason I posted again on this thread was to reply to Rebel's post, not to dun you with a repeated request.
I don't expect you to prioritize me at all. If it makes you feel better, but me at the bottom of your list.
I am not requesting that you merge my account. Clearly there has been a mis-communication. I have been posting as Sail Away for about three months. Formerly I posted as rubadubdub. I can access the rubadubdub account, but not the Sail Away account which is the user name I prefer now. Obviously, this is not a life or death matter, merely my preference.
I do apologize for my part in this misunderstanding. Please take care,
Sail Away (FNA rubadubdub)

Site issues: Dec 27 Update
by Simon inhere's the current status:.
performance improvements have been made to make things slicker.. the "remember me" issue should now be fixed.. sign-in captcha can be affected by ad-blockers so consider disabling those.. sign-in email is case-sensitive - until i update this consider using your forum username instead.. ie stalls on "queued for processing" when posting a topic or reply but the post has been made (just navigate to active or refresh the topic if replying).. i will be working through issues today and contacting anyone who had sign-in issues to check if they still have problems.. many thanks again for your patience while we work through these teething problems..

Hi Simon, thanks for all of your hard work! I emailed you early on in the conversion process, and I posted in the technical forum. I am able to log in under my old user name, rubadubdub, by using my old password, but I would like to be able to use my new user name which is Sail Away (different password).
Thanks,
Sail Away

I was really into digging into WT dirt when I first left in 2011, but now I'm mostly into sailing and tai chi!
I'd still like to be able to log in with my new user name, Sail Away!

Building Your Own Rudder
by Coded Logic insome thoughts on meaning, human nature, and the initial difficulties of learning ttatt.. .
it's not just the fear of the wild, the untamed, or the untraversed regions of the mind that drives jws to seek shelter in the dim and dark citadels of their ignorance - seemingly protected from the insoluble mysteries of their universe.
but it's also the fact that the winds of reality can, at times, be cold and harsh and can rain storm and thunder upon everything they thought they knew.

I took an online course called The Science of Happiness this fall (brief course description below). One unit recommended viewing the film, Every Three Seconds; It’s Time. This an amazing film that shows how ordinary people can effect monumental change and find meaning and happiness in their lives. I highly recommend the film and the course. You can take the course for CEUs or audit it for only $50US.
“Created by UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, the course zeroes in on a fundamental finding from positive psychology: that happiness is inextricably linked to having strong social ties and contributing to something bigger than yourself—the greater good. Students will learn about the cross-disciplinary research supporting this view, spanning the fields of psychology, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and beyond.”

Minimus a group overseer is an elder (a ministerial servant is the assistant) who is assigned to lead the field service groups from individual homes and the KH on Saturday mornings. This began when the book/bible study was moved to the KH. The field service groups are roughly the same as the former book study groups (arranged geographically).

How Long Have You Been Viewing Thiis Site? Does It Serve Its Purpose For You?
by minimus ini've been here forever.... this site still gives us some of the most up to date info about jws .
it keeps evolving.
sometimes it is the place to be and i think that's especially true for newbies.

I've been biting my tongue as this thread has unfolded. I have been reading and posting for about two and a half years. For me this site serves the purpose of keeping up on current JW antics and ever-changing doctrine. It is helping with fogging my JW in-laws. I read it daily for that purpose. Sometimes there is a funny thread of post that serves as comin relief for me. I appreciate those.
I have come to the point, though, that I find it exceedingly uncomfortable to post. It feels just like it did at the KH for me. I was the outsider-- a "sister" with an "unbelieving mate" who was excluded from the cliques and the inner circle. JWN has its lovely members. Some have PM'd me with very helpful information, and I have formed a friendship with one member outside of the forum. But JWN also has its bullies. I find some of the posts sarcastic, unhelpful and mean spirited. The character assassination comments and threads make me cringe. There seems to be an old boys' club that is just plain immature. I left the KH to get away from all of that.
Let the insults fly, if you must. I don't engage with bullies. My father was a master of sarcasm. I've had my fill of that as well. My mother attacked my character and has disowned me three times in my life and yet I have been her primary caregiver for over 15 years, and I'm in the process of moving her out of her home into a higher level of care. She has always been mentally ill and now has Alzheimer's Disease. I can hold my own agains mean to be sure. I just have had enough of all the bull sh*t in my life. Enough said.

Congrats XStuckX!
I read your post to my hubby. He laughed and said, "That's sounds awfully familiar!" One day after 42 years in, I said to my long-faded husband, "I'm not going to be a witness anymore." He did not see that coming!
The thing is, leaving is a process for each of us, and we all do it in our own way and in our own time. Yesterday was not likely the beginning of your wife's journey out of the WT. Things have been brewing under the surface. I agree with jwfacts that your wife will need to learn TTATT, sooner rather than later. I, too, left based on both my own reasoning and emotions. Once the euphoria of feeling free (In your wife's case baking birthday cookies and celebrating Christmas) passes, the reality of the magnitude of losing her entire belief system will set in. Your wife is not mentally free yet.
You know your wife and your situation best. My thought is that you might want to slow everything way down. I just walked away and ignored all contact (nearly daily) for over five months. They are basically leaving me alone now. (Two elders did come by with the RNWT-- I accepted it, thanked them and told them it wasn't a good time to talk.) There are advantages and disadvantages to writing a DA letter. Explore them with your wife. This can be a reasoned decision, rather than a reactiive gesture if you slow things down a bit. Why not wait until after the holidays to decide?
You have received great advice about your employement situation.
