  i am a new to posting on this board though i have been actively reading your posts the past while and i thank some of you for the interesting viewpoints that you have verbalized and that i have enjoyed thinking on.

  i am still an active jw, in fact an elder of 20 years standing hence my need to limit information about my personal circumstances.

  i have served in a number of countries in europe as a pioneer and elder over the past three decades.

  Greetings,

  You said,"Is this experience different from any other organization,religion,political party business,neighborhood?'
  
  It sure is. The majority of other religions,businesses,political parties,etc. do not enforce medical policies that endanger and kill,as the wts does.
  They do not tear families apart with an emotional and psychological abusive shunning policy.
  Putting religion aside,the others do not claim to speak for god.
  Other religions create and administer charitable programs,which the wts does not.
  I dont see the extremism on this board as much as I see people speaking the cold hard truth about the wts and its policies.
  Nice attempt at excusogetics here.
  Those who have left and recovered from your cult do not see everything as extremist,or black and white. Actually thats how jw's see things,,,you're seeing things thru your wts mind filter'
  Of course many struggle,everyone is at a different phase of their leaving and recovery. If the wts didnt have such extremist policies,the emotional damage wouldnt be as great as it is for some....the responsibilty of this belongs on the shoulders of the wts and not the people who left.
  Just MO FWIW,Tina

  Hi da,
  That's good to hear,but as RHW stated your personal experience doesnt negate what happens in congs around the world.....re-read her posts and you'll see what I mean-she said it very well,I cant add to it. We're talking global here,not the few exceptions to the wts rule,regards,Tina

  hullo everybody i'm new here, even though i've been lurking now for several months.. i have to say how afraid i am to post, afraid and ashamed but i feel if i dont tell my story, i honestly dont know what may happen to me or my children if they lose me, right now i feel like i've got nowhere left to turn and have my doubts about this place as well.. i know my story will shock you but i cant keep it in any longer.

  i am recently disfellowshipped for immorality, the subject of a kingdom hall witch -hunt and subsequent congregational humiliation, .

  during the process of the judicial committee meetings and proceedings no consideration was given to my real human circumstances nor to the spirit of survival nor human nature nor that of a mother seeking to protect her children from lack of basic fundamentals such as food, shelter and clothing.

  Because you set it up like that azzazel. By deliberately slammin posters you know nothing about.Seems to me w/ that flame and your anger you set it up to fight.....its your life,rationalize prostitution anyway you want,there are options out there. I think you deliberately slammed us to detract from your chosen career....

  azzazel,
  Nice intro,and thanks for the snap judgement. Something you didnt like happening to you,yet you do to others,you know little/nothing about.
  I feel for you because I went thru the same experience with the death of my husband. Unfortunately,its not a rare life event,as you may think.
  Dont worry,I have no interest in your story and will refrain from getting involved. Suffice to say there are many others here who appreciate my love and support. I dont give it when its not wanted.
  Simply lurking does not give you the big picture of somebody,remember that before you trash others you dont know or their stories
  I find it truly ludicrous that you call yourself an attractive prostitute,and are upset at the being bounced for it...and you have the nerve to slam all the old time posters/ Get real girl

  iw,
  you dont know the difference between conformity and open debate. Dont start those flamer tactics like you did on h20. RHW was right on,whether you agree or not. Tina
