The old KH in my area is now a funeral home!
From a place where people go when spiritually dead to a place they now go when literally dead.
Hi Punk! I know what your saying about the debate threads, just don't read them. You being around makes this a better place.
tl;dr: if you live either in scotland or in other parts of uk and you don't mind traveling, you might be able to help a fellow ex-jw by being present during a courtcase where she alone has to face more than two dozens of jws who have ruined their business.
please contact me directly for details on when and where the court case will be held (i will know these details in few days probably).
ps.
I just stayed at a 100 room hotel this weekend and the entire place was being run by FOUR employees. She needs 24 employees to support a couple rooms??
Hire new employees and move on!
Something does not add up with this story.

@Jehovah on Twitter is a protected account... I guess only the GB are allowed to follow him.
my ex-wife actually opened up to me today over the phone.
she was quite anxious and, i could sense, i little upset.
for those that dont know my situation im separated from my wife.
Hi PE,
I was in a similar situation back in 2001. My ex reacted with her emotions not her head, we divorced in 2 months, then she got DF, learned the TTATT and was an ex-jw one year later.
During that year, I avoided any dating so I could learn and find out who I really was as a person.... being raised as a JW you really have no idea who you really are. I am so glad that I took the time to myself to do that and I'm sure it helped when I was ready later to find the right life long partner. In this area I agree with DJS, you should really take time off from relationships after a bad breakup or you really risk getting with the wrong person.
Anyway, one year after we split, my ex was trying to hook me up with a friend of hers... I was like WTF? She said that now that I was no longer a JW I would be a good catch for someone... then I was still like WTF?
You got to do whats best for you and your child first and foremost!
researchers have found evidence that modern genital warts – otherwise known as the human papillomavirus (hpv) – were sexually transmitted to homo sapiens after our ancestors slept with neanderthals and denisovans roughly around 100,000 years ago.....
This is clearly a racist lie started by Homo sapiens!
i know i will get a lot of backslash on this forum for saying this, but as it looks like, i won't ever be able to escape the jws.
i have been a born in, third generation jw and awoken in one way or another (i joined this forum 15 years ago) for a very long time.
but i have adapted to the jw lifestyle to a point where it does not bother me anymore.
@OrphanCrow
I Didn't intend to come off as being sexist in my comment about watching porn. I was just speaking from my own experience after leaving the cult and dating women on the outside.
I had no issues what so ever with meeting and interacting with worldly women with the exception of my lack of sexual experiences and that was a direct result of being raised a JW and their bedroom rules. And yes, watching a little porn did help me get up to speed in that area.
I just assumed that @Neva was referring to that, based on my own experience. I have always respected women and maybe I just wasn't as socially retarded as others and took his comment sexually when he did not intend it to be.
I apologize if my words offended anyone.

@Neva,
Just wondering now that you are single and awake how you will approach meeting new JW women?
Will you be truthful with them about knowing TTATT?
Most JW women will expect you to reach out for service and if you don't do that it can lead to marital problems.
How can you be truthful with a potential single women and at the same time keep a lid on your true feelings.
As far as not having as much experience with worldly women (tm)? Try watching some porn, you will figure it out!
the issue of whether beards are acceptable or not is addressed in the september 2016 watchtower - well sort of.
it is as clear as mud as to whether they are allowed in places like australia, usa and britain.. 17. what are some factors that may affect whether a brother wears a beard?17 what about the propriety of brothers wearing a beard?
the mosaic law required men to wear a beard.
When I grew a beard while still active, I noticed the following...
1) Many publishers said it looked good and didn't understand why it wasn't allowed.
2) All of my school assignments seemed to be in the 3rd school (basement)
3) Every time I tried to make arrangements to go out in the ministry with an elder they would pawn me off on a MS so as not to take the heat or give off the impression that they approved of the facial hair.
the last talk at the assembly made an interesting statement, "we can show faith by following direction if we're asked to move to another kingdom hall for better use of dedicated christian funds".
this statement has everyone talking.
i spoke to multiple individuals and they heard the same thing at different assembly's.. i know they have been "evaluating" all kingdom halls the last year or two.
"'Zion's Watch Tower' has, we believe, JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support. When He who says: 'All the gold and silver of the mountains are mine,' fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the publication."
