most of us realised you meant charged and English isn’t your first language. Take no notice of some people at least you can speak other languages which is more than I can say for myself!
im so glad they caught the person. You’ve had a frightening experience and hopefully, no more midnight walks??
it will take time to get over it and I wish you well.
Thank you for keeping us updated.

Think he must mean charged.
since my last post i have spoke with my parents and told them i am no longer a believer.
i told them i just can't anymore.
here is my short story.
If it helps I can say how it was for me when my husband left the WT. He left years and years before me and the day he came home and told me he wasn’t going anymore...I can remember exactly what I was doing and where...it was that shocking to me. My world imploded. I couldn’t understand why he was giving up. I wouldn’t listen to him explain. I felt as if he was committing spiritual suicide. I then spent years and years trying to get him back in until finally, circumstances caused me to wake up too. So go slowly with your wife and be gentle. It’s such a big thing to do and I’m happy that you are getting out. It takes time for your family to adjust and all they’ll will be thinking about is how to save you from yourself.
i learned from loyd evans video that because of his higher education (harvard graduate).
and talented carrier in wall street journal,harry peloyan was very quick to be invited to world hq.. according to his life story (w may 1 ,2006) , he was invited to whq in 1957.. i wonder when was he baptized?.
is it true that people who have higher education be used by the org more quickly than people who don’t?.
EXJW FIFTH also interviewed a young man who was in Bethel and had followed all of the WTs advice about higher education. He said it was really annoying and unfair that having obeyed the GB he then saw university educated brothers fast tracked into high positions in Bethel.
update on this:.
just been to the police station with my friends where we were asked individually to identify aknife.
it looks identical to the one we saw.
Oh my goodness! That is so scary. I'm just glad you were all okay.
It does sound like it's related. Keep us updated.
@ kevin mcfree.
thanks a lot for all your hard work with the lego dubtown videos.
i just saw your "making of" and now i have a lot more respect for all the work you do with your movies.. please continue with the videos - i am looking forward to further episodes.. the making of dubtown's 'the naked truth' .
I agree. Kevin is amazing. I absolutely love the videos and watch them over and over because they cheer me up, Thank you @ Kevin McFree
i am writing the post i have wanted to write for some time.
it's a heartfelt note to those still attending meetings, still caught between the lines of watchtower and the world.
those with kids or a spouse in the society..... despite being mentally out....those who have weighed up that there is too much to lose in leaving.

It was great. If you want to pour it all out after a whiskey or two go ahead. It's good to share our thoughts and feelings and it's cathartic to write it down. Life is definitely hard after we leave and your words can help people.
I am taking your words to heart and doing my best not to give WT 2019.
if you are a true believer, then you are toast.
because you will be a slave to everything the watchtower, circuit overseers, elders, pioneers, imply.
believe me, there are not many true believers anymore, and the majority of them are old.
It depends where you live and what congregation you are in and what your elders are like. I've also seen elders children get away with so much more than an ordinary kid in the congregation.
I don't think it's easier now, either. I was baptised in 1967. In fact, in some respects, it seems more micro managed now than back then.
People do lead double lives and if that's what you want to do, well okay. But what a way to live.
For the record, and don't all come down on me for this, I thought the OP was quite arrogant and also very disrespectful to Finkelstein.
one of the witness rebuttals that is used to belittle the christmas holiday is the one where they say that people reduce jesus christ to being just a baby in a manger, whereas the witnesses recognize him as a mighty king, a much more accurate and current way to view jesus.
a baby in a manger is a sweet sight on any day, it's true, but more is going on than meets the eye in the case of jesus.
this particular baby is the first baby to have been born without an earthly father, the immaculate conception.
Yesterday I watched a television programme about the origins of many Xmas traditions. Carols, the tree, mistletoe, holly etc. The Victorians wanted to bring back Xmas because it was dying out in Britain so they started picking what they wanted from traditional customs from everywhere -a lot from Germany. The turkey came from America.
Half of it, isn't really pagan. No one really knows how mistletoe and holly began. Carols were sung throughout the year in church. In fact, there are more identifiable pagan customs associated with weddings than ever there is with Xmas and JWs do all of them except confetti and the toast.
It is just another way they have isolated us from family and friends, because that's what they do - cut Jws off from everything.

Thank you for sharing. You are so right.
