It is not easy to move on and you were hit with two big life changes at one time. If you feel you really love your ex then before you consider getting back together I would seek marriage counceling so you are both helped. It can also help her to leave the JW's for good. There are plenty of women out there that don't have the baggage of being in a cult, you just aren't ready at this point because you still have feelings for your ex. When you are ready you will find the right person to spend your life with.

I am glad your health has improved and you are enjoying life with your wife and children by your side. I too went through some serious health problems and I can relate most of it back to the WTS. My health improved like yours did and I have been able to get rid of some medicines. Living a health, happy and rewarding life is sweet!!

Want to know why people accept evolution ?
by snare&racket indo you have questions about or want to understand evolution?
it is a difficult concept to communicate and so if it is not explained well , it is understandable that we would dismiss it.. i sincerely want to talk with people who want to learn more or see what all the fuss is about.
we are all learning and increasing our knowledge all the time and it is good to go over facts with critical eye.. evolution we can discuss, looking at the foundational facts and evidence, one at a time for you to go and check, agree or disagree with and return.. no pressure to accept it, you can decide for yourself, also no mocking etc of what you have to say.. .

Jeff, I am so sorry you are going through this. Your parents had such a wonderful and fulfilling life and I know it must be so painful to see her decline. The article brought tears to my eyes. You must be so proud of both of them and you are such a good son to her. Hang in there.

Troubling experience at 1 day assembly re: little jw child
by williamhconley injust had my 1day assembly this weekend.
an experience given by the bethel speaker was quite troubling and shows how jw's live in constant paranoia, anxiety and they isolate themselves from normal living.. a first grade class was having a fire drill.
everyone ( except one) lined up and stood outside away fron the classroom in the grass.

We know it isn't a real story because every teacher has to make sure all students are out of the building. If anything this story shows how ignorant the WTS really is.

This is so pathetic. I hope it wasn't a real story because not teaching children how to reason and think can cause them to lose their life. There is nothing cute about this story at all.
Searcher, my husband was a born in and he hated school because he always felt left out. He wanted to play football and his mom wouldn't allow it but she did let him run track and play baseball which is more than most are allowed to do.

I think lawyers are being used to write all the literature
by EndofMysteries inif you think about how they word and spin doctor everything, such as on jw org, the faq about shunning members who leave the religion....if a jw says, "look, it says you don't shun ex members and family ties remain no matter what!
", they will say, "na ah ah!!
if you look closely it talks about inactive ones who are not shunned, and as for family, the example is of a husband in the same household as his wife and children.

I have suspected for awhile now that many of their articles are being cleared by lawyers to keep them from being sued but I also don't feel they write them.

That is very good news and so uplifting to hear of a young one who is using her critical thinking abilities. You are definitely doing something right in helping your daughter to get out. Keep us posted on her progress.

by Maat13 ini'm still in the matrix(the truth), but 'morpheus' and his team are valiantly working on a way to get me out.
in the meantime, everyday i am discovering so much about being a jw i never knew, like don't buy girl scout cookies, that i keep asking myself "what have i got myself into".. maat.
really lame for a first post, but i figure i should start some where.

Yes they do have lots of money but how many homeless people have they helped, how many soup kitchens have they provided, how many widows and orphans have they supported. The list goes on and on of the things this charitable organization has not done. It is really very disgusting that they have a charitable status but yet no money goes to those who need help in any way. Their money goes to printing magazines, books, real estate, paying very little for slave labor, for lawyers to fight endless legal battles and paying settlements to victims of child molestation. I would say their record is very dismal. They have preyed on good hearted people who have given their hard earned money and yet most of them have a very limited knowledge of what it has been used for. When I got out and actually realized what they were doing it made me very angry.

Thanks Barbara for all of your hard work and for updating us on the progress. Of course Jerry Brown vetoed the bill, he has "friends" in high places. I find it very scary that the religious lobbyists are trying to do something that will cause harm to so many people. It is time that religion and all other organizations take responsibility and pay for covering up child abuse. The law needs to protect children and not these organizations.
