Hi Kim, you did a very nice job. While I was watching it I kept thinking how much Shyla sounds and looks like you. It took a lot of courage to come out like that. I didn't realize you were now DF'd, I will have to go look up your post about that.

Please Hear My Confession, I lied to all my friends in the Kingdom Hall! Forgiveness needed!
by AuntConnie ini ask for the forgiveness of all the brothers and sisters who heard me lie and lie and lie about how my husband lost all his weight!
please make room in your heart to forgive me, it's rare i will open up myself to the scrutiny of jehovah's witnesses net message board, i try not to reveal too many things about my life.
i come from a fleshly family that is screwed up, we learned from youth how to use theocratic warfare even with other jehovah's witnesses asking innocent questions.

LOL! You are so funny, I would love to meet you in person and hear your real story. When you first started to post I didn't get it the first couple of posts but then I caught on to your satire. We enjoy hearing from you.

A lot of very good points expressed. I think you have to be tired of it and something has to happen to you or someone you love. That is what happened to me and once I started to read and research I was shocked because I knew of none of it. I also feel the internet is one of their biggest enemies right now. There is no way they can hid the lies and the crimes against children and all others. I agree with Quendi that it could fall in the near future just like governments do. I would honestly love to see them taxed, they will really pump up the reteric.

At one time it was the last congregation I was in until they had a large group from NYC move in and it changed the whole dynamic of the small country congregation. It was never the same once it split.

who signed your blood card?
by losingit intwo elders in my congregation signed mine bc hubby couldn't bear the repercussions of either 1- saving my life by allowing the blood transfusion, which would probably lead to him being df'd, and 2- me dying bc he did not allow the blood transfusion and having my parents call him a murderer.. isn't that so nice?
when i most wanted him to represent me, he didn't have the guts, even hypothetically.... so, who signed your blood card?.

I know my husband and an elder signed mine but when I found out about the lies I put it through the shredder. It sure did feel good to get rid of that card.

Don't give up, you never know she just might wake up. I am amazed at the ones who are finding out it is a pack of lies. I know you have read Steve Hassons book so that will help you with what you are doing. You obviously love your parents a lot so be careful, you don't want them to shun you before you get them out.

Go back and reread all of the posts on this topic and maybe you can see what the rest of us are seeing. If you are bound and determined to get back together then I would suggest you both go together for counseling and that way they will help you both grow. You will either make your relationship better or you will both get mentally healthier and stronger to move on alone.

Do you detect an underlying sadness ?
by Phizzy inwhenever i talk to jw's, and even in some of the jw official videos, i detect a definite vibe of sadness coming off these people.. i am very sensitive to "atmospheres" and to peoples emotional state, you wouldn't think so, because more often than not i do not react to what i detect, i just let people get on with it.. but i do get this feeling that they are sad, probably because very, very, very deep down they realise that it is all false, maybe ?.

This made me think about my mother in law who is in her mid 80's and this is all she knows. She was raised as a witness and they told them they should never marry or have children because the end would be here any day now. Whenever my husband talks to her she is so depressed because she thought the new system would have been here by now and most of her friends are gone. She realizes that she will be gone soon also and it still isn't here.
A friend of ours whose parents are in their late 80's and early 90's told me they are acting the same way. They have even become desperate to get them to go back to meetings. They have been out for years so they weren't aware of the crazy new changes but when they read about the new light and the December 2013 article Cedars posted they could see why they have become so desperate.
I am just thankful I woke up because I was once one of those depressed and very unhappy witnesses.

Has The Society, or Any Bro or Sis, Ever Screwed You Out Of Your Money?
by LoisLane looking for Superman inthis thread was inspired because of 3rdgn, and her asking, on behalf of her destitute elderly widowed mom,.
for the return of her mother's "conditional loan" to the society of $20,000.00.. (this was stated today, under my thread of, "what was the effect on you of knowing hypocritical jw's?").
the society more or less yes, no, it is now our money, and you can't have it back.

We too have had many who borrowed money or didn't pay for work done. For the most part we have never tried to hire or get work from the witnesses because there are too many problems from it. Their attitude is you owe us since you are doing better financially.
We even went in and finished up a kitchen remodel that another brother started at a house where the husband was a witness but the wife wasn't. He really screwed them over and the brother went to the body of elders about it because the wife was threatening to leave, my husband was an elder at the time and he agreed to finish the job with the little bit of money that was left. When they brought the brother in to decide how to handle the matter my husband was the only one not in on the committee matter because he agreed to help the brother. By the way, this brother had done this to many other people, they did not DF him and he is now an elder still doing the same crap!
I have a few stories and they all involve elders taking advantage of us financially. One had the condition that he needed to pay back his money he owed before they made him a servant again but the COBE that gave him that ultimative moved away and a year later they appointed him and he still owes us over $1200
