Welcome here, I agree it is a great place. I hope you find peace in your situation, many find the mental turmoil too much to keep going. It's great you have interests and a life away from the 'religion'.

Phone all f**** up!
by JWOP inso i let my adult son borrow my cell phone.
when i get it back, i find that he had reset the texting so that every time i put in a letter i have to arrow over to hit the selection ffrom a bunch of choices at the bottom!
bad enough i don't have a qwerty text keyboard....now it takes ten minutes just to write one stupid sentence.. and..... although he is the one who reset it, he does not know how to undo it!.

He's switched on predictive texting, I think motorola call it T5 or maybe that was Sony?
Google your model and predictive text, you should find the answer.

Appealing a disfellowshipping - any experience
by dozy inanyone had any experience of a successful appeal against a disfellowship?
a friend of mine feels he has been dfd unjustifiably & is considering an appeal.
he probably has something of a case - the jc was a total shambles - but i'm very dubious that he has any likelihood of success.. my only experience of a successful appeal is when elders in a neighbouring congregation were appointed by the co & overturned a df in our congregation a few years ago.

The appeal is there to see if the original decision was correct, the only way it can be appealed successfully is if some evidence or a slant on the original story makes a difference.

Is this true?
by Amelia Ashton inhttps://www.home.no/carloc/co.html.
the verdict is in!.
almost all of the anti-jehovah's witness organization have been completely quiet about the arrest and detention of the person in denmark who posted on the "yourselves and to all of the flock", and the society's other secret documents, in violation of international copyright laws.

My story in short
by DeWandelaar ini am visiting this site for quite some time now and now i think it is time to tell something about me and my experience.
without giving away my name (i am in "fade mode"): i am from the small country they call the netherlands, the land of wooden shoes, tulips, cheese and too many inhabitants per square meter.
i am married with children and a second generation jw.

New member says hey
by jay dubless ini have lurked now and then, just decided to join.. my older brother and i were raised by our jw mom, but our dad was a non-practicing catholic.
so we went to the hall, but were considered "weak" witnesses, since our family still celebrated xmas and birthdays, to appease my dad i suppose.
as a kid, i loved these holidays.. anyways, when my brother was 17 (i was 13), he spent a few weeks with our cousins in ky, who are all gung-ho j-dubs, and upon his return, he decided he was going to be more "theocratic".

Welcome here, glad you shared your background with us. It's amazing how after years of communication your brother decides to stop, when you've never changed. It sounds very interesting, the NDE, my sceptical brain is intrigued!

I got a phone call invite the night before, I gave a very patronising 'aw thank you' and ended the call.

New light Watchtower magazine leaked from organization weeks ahead of general release
by cedars inhttp://jwsurvey.org/governing-body-2/new-light-watchtower-magazine-leaked-from-organization-weeks-ahead-of-general-release.
if doctrinal explanations are missing from the article, it is because they are also missing from the magazine.. i would like to give my thanks again to my source for supplying me with the magazine article weeks ahead of its scheduled release.
it showed remarkable courage, because risks were taken.

Cedars, your time and effort is greatly appreciated, I cannot fathom how anyone can just accept all this and believe the GB are who they say they are, the R+F are truly blinded. As you say, it leaves more questions that cannot appear to be answered.
