well this afternoon as i sit here i am calm but my heart is literally aching.
i am sitting here with my young daughter on my shoulder.
i guess you could say i spilled the beans to my wife this afternoon.
Wow this is so hard for you BU2B.
I am so sick of the hold the JWs have over us even when we are through.
Even though faded I am going through shunning by my parents and siblings at the moment. I cant imagine how I would be if I didnt have my Husband and kids out with me.
Sending lots of hugs and positive energy your way.
Keep talking to us and dont give up.
hi everyone here on jwn.
i admit to being a lurker for quite some time before joining and now i am ready to post and i want to introduce myself.
i am/was 3rd generation and daughter of the po (as it was termed at the time) for most of my life.
After reading the rest of your posts I see you also had depression cured by leaving the cult and panic attacks that only occured at meetings, me too. Hard to believe the damage they have done but welcome to the rest of your free thinkiing life.

Hi and welcome Joyfulfader.
I recently got out 'mentally' at the age of 37. It is so liberating isnt it!! Im glad youve joined us.
I love how we all have one thing in common.
Keep chatting to us as it is great to be relieved of the burden and someone has always been through the same thing.

Sorry Aware but the elders really are in a position to know better.
With their secret elders book and the way they break up families they are definetely not without blame in the org.
They see the inner workings of the cult and still choose to remain.
I see this in my father who has been an elder for 30 yrs, he should know better but he backs up his cronies when they want to disfellowship his daughter.

dont think the jw's will think too well of this!.
Maybe the elders wouldnt want to pull her aside because if she disagrees with their discipline it could end up as bad press for the JWs. Im sure the $$$ speaks volumes too.
the 'flock' book (elders manual) makes this quite clear and upon arriving at your judicial hearing one of the first questions you will be asked is whether you have any recording/transmitting equipment with you.. however, most jw's will have never seen - or even heard of - the 'flock' book.
do a search on the wt cd on recording meetings and you will see that it all pertains to the recording of meetings at the kingdom hall and conventions and that any brother wishing to make such recordings is free to do so so long as the recording equipment is not attached to the society's equipment.
the one question of propriety that is raised has to do with recording prayers.
