i know i have seen topics on here stating what the questions are for a jc meeting that the elders ask, but i can't find them.. can someone please tell me what those questions are or provide a link to the topic?.
i know one of them is something like "do you believe that this is god's spirit directed organization?".
{editted to add} if you are a suspected apostate what are the questions they ask you?.

i had to take a break from jwn here because after all the drama that unfolded over a certain new anti-wt organization i had to back off because i had unbearable emotions and "flashbacks" to being a jw and being bullied.
even though i didn't experience any direct bullying, seeing it happen caused all the negative emotions to come back because i felt like i was back at the kingdom hall.
so i just left for awhile.. i've been having to do a lot of soul searching lately and reevaluating my life.
Thank you Adventurousone! I am thankful for JWn because I was able to make contact with others and I have some people who understand what I've been going through and they have been able to help me, and also at the same time I understand what they are going through. It's a hard road for anyone leaving WT.
That is part of the reason why I want to do this. I'm just trying to figure out what I want to say, I tend to ramble on if I don't have main points to hit so I'm just trying to figure that out right now :)
The other main reason is because I want to help people, more specifically deaf people, but I can't help them if I have to hide my face.
Thank you for the book suggestion too and your kind comments!
Peace.

Thanks lost! One good thing is it is keeping me busy. I keep telling myself I will have a 3 day weekend after these 12 days.

Thank you AuntFancy! I can't afford to seek professional help and plus the state we live in the "free" based help is no good. I guess this is my way of trying to heal and take back control.

Thanks lost. I had to take a break and I've been so busy the last month it's crazy. I'm still not going to have that much time to come on here. I'm actually working 12 straight days with no break. I'm only on day 4 right now. I'm not sure if I will even make it :)

Thank you all for the nice comments. I really appreciate the words of encouragement and even those of you who are concerned, you care more for me and my well being more than the JW's ever were.
I guess my whole thing is my whole life my identity was "I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses" and last year when I learned TTATT my identity was ripped from me and now all I have for my identity is my name and why should I be afraid to use it? There are many other reason why I want to do this which I will try to explain more in my video with my own voice!

Thank you everyone else for the nice comment. I'm hoping to have it done before my birthday! But I will share it on here when it goes live :)

To answer a few of the comments. I do have to prove something. I have to prove to myself that I can stand up against WT and not let them bully me anymore. Plus no one on here knows me, you only see a small part of who I am as a person from my posts on here. Several said things like consequences, this could hurt me more....etc. WT took 29 years of my life serving them when I thought I was serving God. WT took the children I could have had (Husband and I can't have kids of our own), they took my identity when I was born and only now is my real self coming out, WT took my family and friends....let me ask you, what more can they do to hurt me? Please someone answer me, what more can they do to me? I will listen to any comments or explanations of how they can hurt me more. Can they kill me? That's about all that's left they can do to me. Am I missing something more they can do to me? DF'ing does not scare me. Gojira

wasblind one of my favorite songs. Thanks
prior to that we had been in a new congregation for about 9 months, and we were just irregular.
my husband rarely went, and i would go occasionally with our toddler son just enough to show our faces and keep the elders off our backs, and for the sake of some friendships in our old hall.
all of the reasons i had for going were just no longer important.
What now. I really do understand what you are going through. My husband and I had the same feelings when we were about 3 months out. It's so hard for those of us to leave because we are always taught...drilled is more like it about the "bad association" with worldly people. It's very hard, I was feeling the same way because all of my friends were JW's and I would get invited to go to community events, but most of the time I was scared to go. Now almost 9 months out it's way better. We are going to dinner with our non-JW friends and hanging out this them and community events still scare me most of the time still but I can force myself to go. It will get better. You will make friends. You have to start your life over and at times it does feel kind of desperate and lonely, but be thankful you have a kid with another one on the way and that you have your husband.
It WILL get better!
