Wholly, sorry to hear about your bad start in life. But think positively, it can only get better from there. And in my experience, happiness and success are the best form of revenge. Show them that you can be happy and make a success of your life without their help and the help of so-called Christians that have no notion of what God and the Bible are all about.

18I Didn't See That Coming
by Wholly ini was raised on air force bases in the us and asia until i was 10 or 11. my mother divorced my father while he was on an unaccompanied tour in turkey and hooked up with my uncle.
she married him and his children became our step-brothers and sisters.
i saw my father once when he got back to the states and not again until almost 30 years later.. after two years, my uncle put his children in an orphanage and my mother dispersed her children to the four winds so she could be free to be with my uncle without all the problems eight children who hated each other brought.. my story begins in 1977 in an old farm house in corinth, kentucky, without running water or heat, just electricity for lights and cooking.

Welcome StevenJB. Ironic that you, as the innocent party, had been victimized. That is one of my major gripes with the WT. Pedophiles are given the benefit of the doubt, while their victims and their families must suffer the consequences. That's WT Justice for you. Everything of the best with your new relationship.

I was DF'd for apostacy. I proved to them according to the Scriptures (Dan. 11, Matt. 24, and Rev. 11) what they believe is plain wrong. They did it according to the book (the Sheperd's-book), reading out of it and not the Bible. But I hear the announcement at the hall went something like this: So-and-so does not wish to be one of JWs anymore or something to that affect, which was a lie. Quite a few of those at the KH, knowing the circumstances first-hand, called them out on their lie.

Chichi89, sorry to hear of your bad treatment. Even if you dated and married a bona fide Witness, the chances of your marriage surviving are 50/50. I have been married twice in the truth. Both times ended in (bitter) divorce. So take heart, it is not the end of the world. Live your life to the fullest. At the end you must be able to say: No regrets.

Recently, the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses has claimed the title “faithful and discreet slave” for themselves. This is a serious matter. When Jesus, as the master, returns and finds his slave to be faithful, he will appoint him over all his belongings. But when he arrives, and finds him beating his fellow slaves while imbibing with confirmed drunkards, he will be severely punished (Matt. 24:45-51; Luk. 12:41-48; cf. Rev. 18:3). In fact, he will be sentenced to death (Rev. 13:16 , 17; 14:9-12; 15:2; 16:2; 17:8; cf. 14:1, 4, 5).

Prologos, then there is Amos 3:7, Dan. 12:4, Hab. 2:2, 3, etc. to contemplate. I find it mentally stimulating and enlightening to study, especially the prophecies. As long as one doesn't go overboard, it cannot do harm.

Londo, if it all happened in the past, then it should not be too difficult finding the beginning and end point for these dates. For those of us looking for a future fulfillment, it would be more of a problem, where do the days start and when they do they end. But I am open for a primary as well as secondary fulfillment, if the evidence bears up.
