  My story

  i have actually been on this board for a few months and never really posted how i ended up here.

  maybe it would be healthy,,.

  i was raised as a witness, my dad was an elder and my mom vacation pioneered, eventually she was an auxiliary pioneer, so witness activities were always going on.

  I told my husband when we got home from the meeting how I felt, and he slapped me.

  Real loving husband. I'd like to slap the shit out of him

  Welcome to the board Connie and I'm glad everything is going well for you now.

  Some of my DF'ing

  warning: this is graphic but a true account.

  i was df'd for committing fornication.

  i had already started to figure out that the religion had some serious flaws but that didn't stop me from feeling like all my misfortune was brought on by my disobedience to god.

  for a privileged few, you get an article with your lifes story published in the wt.

  most at least receive a grand send off with a kh memorial service.. my father passed away a couple of weeks ago.

  he was just shy of his 89th birthday.

  Continued . . . My husband is stepping down -elder

  by Prisila in

  over a week ago i shared that my husband was stepping down as an elder last wednesday.. well, for all those inquiring minds that want to know, my husband's efforts were a total bust.

  first he talked to one elder who adamantly refused to accept his resignation.

  he encouraged and demanded that he stay.

  I would think if he wrote a letter and stuck with his reasons without any deviation that they would honor it at some point. Any mention of COC will no doubt cause a situation that you guys don't want.

  GOod Luck, it's amazing how arrogant they really are.

  hi everyone.while i have lurked on this board for some time this is my very first post.

  the main reason for my reluctance to post has been the fact that my job keeps me pretty busy - however i have enjoyed the board so much i felt i would love to be a more tangible presence and have decided to take the plunge.

  i will give more details of my background later.

  Surrogate mothers commit adultery?

  by crownboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most people on this site already know that the jw religion has some really quirky beliefs.

  some can be silly, but unfortunately others dangerous.

  i find the jw belief on the properness of surrogate mothers to be rather silly.. .

  Ten Year Ex-JW Anniversary

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  friday, may 1st, 1992, i drove my kids to the motel we stayed at for the circuit assembly in woodburn, oregon.

  i told them that i was not going to attend the assembly at all.

  on saturday morning, may 2nd, i dropped them off at the front of the assembly hall, making this the very first day where i ceased going to meetings.. driving away from woodburn, i headed to the beach at lincoln city, oregon where i took time to walk a long beach - alone - enjoying the wind breeze through my hair - the sand move between my toes - the sea gulls chanting and squeaking - the steady roll of the waves - the gentle roaring sound as they cascaded onto the shore and an occasional sip of scotch.. it was the first day of the rest of my life ... the beginning of having my life back ... the beginning of personal freedom of the mind and heart.. today, ten years later - i still can feel the fresh breeze and the sand ... and i have no regrets, no doubt, no fear ... i need not look back anymore.

  I told my dad this morning.........

  he asked if i was going to the circuit assembly this weekend.

  he asked why.

  i just said after a long pause, dad it's not the truth (you have to understand that i'm the one who preached to this man and got him in the truth) the conversation lasted about 5 minutes with him saying well who else teaches the right thing, you have to understand, jehovah has to have an organization.

  You are doing the right thing. In time you may be able to help him also see that it is not the truth.
