hello all and happy new year!.

i don't post here often,but as the new year just started and my birthday is tomorrow, i am feeling extra reflective.

it has been several years since i was willingly disfellowshipped, and i say willingly because when the judicial committee asked me my thoughts on the organization i told them i thought it was not a god directed organization.

i haven't been on this site for as long as many of you, but when i first started it just felt like much more supportive and constructive.

as of late though it just seems to be a very toxic and argumentative place to be.

i speak for myself and i believe others as well, when i say that some of us need a place where we can vent, speak our minds freelym and not feel attacked.

2. beliefs
i am going to be speaking to the 45-55 years old plus generation here.

i bought my first copy around 1980, it was the thing to do because it proved most of christendom's believes came from nimrod, and by the end of the 1980s the book and the name faded away into oblivion.. .

the watchtower use to print that book or distribute it, am i correct or has my memory gotten bad?

How will the WT spin China???

i read an article this morning on how china is quickly reaching even footing with the united states in all aspects; military, economic etc.

the article continued saying how it was imperative that the united states recognize that it would be forced to behave accordingly or risk ddestabilizing the world.

another interesting statement was made that sooner rather than later the u.s. would become the 2nd largest economy falling behind china.

Life after DF/divorce

2. experiences
i am just wondering how many here have gone through the experience of being disfellowshipped and divorced?

i am currently in that situation and sometimes i am afraid of what to expect.

thankfully i have a good core of friends, but nonetheless i still find myself somewhat nervous of what to expect in my new life.
