  Braincleaned, I hope someone will read it from the WT$ but from everything I have heard they don't give these letters to the GB. Sometimes writing your feelings out like you did can really help get the anger out. I wrote a letter too but never sent it, I may send it some day but for now it is still on my IPad. I did feel a little better once I got my angry feelings on paper.

  I also hope you can teach your children critical thinking so they can use their own mind to research the WT$ and I also hope you can make sure they get a college education. The odds are on your side with 3/4 of the youth leaving the WT$ so your children have a real chance of staying out.

  Villagegirl gave you some excellent points to make your letter have more impact.

  hay out there.. wife got back from her thursday meeting & now she's setteled down with the dog, a v large g&t (maid be me) & watching terminator 2 on the telly with her ipad on her lap looking up places to go for our holiday (& googling symptoms of to many antibiotics as my 16 year old is getting signs of ibs).

  so now is a good time to say hello.. well hello.

  my name is phats & i'm an ex jehovah's witness.. there, i've said it.. this must be like it is going to your first aa meeting.. i've already used up some of my posts for a newbe but i'm not in to the whole long story thing.. basically i've been out now for 8 years (mentally out for all but four or five of those years of my life when i made the commitment, got baptized & married.).

  Welcome Phats, I am glad you have found a way to keep your marriage happy and hopefully some day she will see the same things. I am very fortunate because my husband (born in 58 years) and I came out together. Look forward to hearing more from you.

  today, thanks to a brave do and my colleague elkatire 1980, we make make public the manual, guidelines for traveling overseers (tga-s), of which existence many suspected, but even in english, it wasnt available.. from its very title page, this book indicates in bold letters:.

  it should not be shown to others, nor should any portion of it be reproduced.

  note: for now, this book is only available in spanish, but we are working in translating a brief summary in english, hoping that someone from the english congregations makes it available to you soon.. http://hildeydesa.blogspot.com/2014/06/pautas-para-los-superintendentes.html.

  Very informative book

  by zeb in

  1. social
  2. current

  i am reading "apocalypse delayed'-2nd edition by m.james penton-utp; isbn 0-8020-7973-3.

  1997.. this a kind story of how the jw came about from the early days of russel and his un-natural marriage through to the rutherford (same) and it does not pull any punches as it wades into the latter rutherford era the failed predictions (1975) and the nasty way by which people were treated.. this will not convince anyone you know who is 'in' if you wish to see them 'out' as such people are blind to any sort of argument and will have no ability to discuss, but will give the reader an immense breadth and depth of background material as to why things happened.

  how i wish i had found such a work years ago!.

  My husband and I both read this book and we enjoyed it. We did not know all of the history so we found it interesting.

  You can tell by my name what I do! Lol! Yes, I love all of the girly things along with designer clothes. I can remember as a very young girl looking at womens nails, jewelry, make-up, clothes and purses. I honestly think there is a girly gene. :)

  My niece gave me this name when she was about 4 years old and it stuck, the funny thing she is a milder version of me.

  It sounds like you are enjoying yourself. I agree with Villagegirl that you should do a background check on any that you are very interested in. You can never be 100% sure but it is better to be safe than sorry.

  Farewell from Confused and Alone

  i use to hate when people who made goodbye posts on message boards.

  why would they think that just because you no longer post on a chevy truck forum or a los angeles lakers forum the world would crumble around those still left there.

  this place is definitely different.

  I will miss you Confused. You made your posts so interesting and I enjoyed hearing your adventures. I always kept my husband abreast of what was going on with you but I am ahappy you are doing well and you realize you need to move on in order to live a full life.

  I know I don't come here as often either and I am trying to make a decision on what to do next so we all go through this. We both came out about the same time And I know I feel so much better but I do let things that the WT$ says get to me so mabye I am getting close to doing the same thing. Not sure if I can ever 100% walk away.

  Have a great life with your wife and children and please stop in an let us know how you are doing and what you are up to. We consider you a freind!

  I really wish you are your family all the best. We understand what you are going through because there will be a time for us to move on too. It has been on my mind lately But I am having a hard time breaking away. There comes a point when it keeps you from moving on to a healthier life.

  Please stop bt once in awhile and let us know how your life is going. You write such interesting stories.
