  alot of members don't have a flag or country name beside their user name, and well frequently one doesn't know where that particular person is from, tell us your country, state, county or what ever you feel like giving out.

  if you are going to post please at least devulge your country.. me, i'm originally from taranaki, new zealand via auckland.

  for the most of this decade i have been living & working in brisbane, queensland, australia.. .

  Info on publisher cards???

  by OneDayillBeFree in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i moved to another hall to better help me fade.

  so far it's been great although it is a very long and annoying process!

  so i'm very good friends with the coordinating elder in the new hall since we've known each other for years and so instead of mailing them to the other hall he decided to pass them on to my dad so he could give them to me and for me to give them to the other hall.

  Quick question, did you feel lonely at the meetings even though you were part of the action?

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  2. friends

  just curious, something i've noticed only lately.

  i'm in the mix within the congregation, stay late after the meeting is over, converse with quite a few people afterwards, make plans for saturday and sometimes sunday service and yet i feel so awfully alone walking to my car afterwards.

  i feel lonely when i'm talking and laughing with people after the meeting.

  I wasn't in any cliques nor did I have any family in besides my mother so yes, I felt lonely quite often. Then I'd feel used when the JWs would talk to me and ask for stuff.

  I wouldn't care. Thos "JW friends" turned their backs on me and my mother who never did anything wrong. I wouldn't want to welcome people like that back into my life.

  My Introduction

  by Left in the Cold in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have posted on here a little, and i thought i should probably introduce myself the best i can right now.

  i stumbled upon this site and told my sister about it.

  then, sometime later she started discussing things with me that's she has seen or read (she's in therapy, as well, which probably has made her kind of rethink things).

  Welcome Left in the Cold. You sound like a few JWs I knew. Do a lot of research before you decide whether or not to go back. Losing friends and famil can be extremely difficult bit there are benefits to being free from WT tyranny.

  Letter From Whitney's Mother

  by breakfast of champions in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just saw this on google news.

  link to letter here.. .

  dear family, i want to tell you that although this has been the worst of my lifes tribulations, that i am still standing.. the obvious reason is that jehovah is the faithful keeper of promises holding to his word that never, would his great love allow his precious children to be tested beyond what we could bear.

  I feel compassion for the mother, she was victimized by the cult and by a crazy pedo most likely shielded by the cult.
