You are going to feel better and better over time truthseeker. You will make many new friends, true friends, not friends forced upon you by the WTS. I've found that most worldly people are nicer! You've got your whole future before you - enjoy it -

Eyes Open
by WildTurkey inas i look back at my life as a dub, now that i have my eyes open, sometimes i really feel like a fool, because some of the things we believed are just dumb, shows the power of fear and mind control.

I blame my parents. They were baptized when I was 10. The "truth" was the only option at home and then, over time it just seeps into your pores until you're believing it too. I was smart enough to know it was a lie years later. My parents haven't been so lucky. Those are the ones I feel bad for. You know they completely buy into and can't see that its all a lie.

I drive a 10 year old Chevy S-10. The rust holds everything together. Someday, when it dies, I'm going to get a Subaru WRX. Though I think this truck's going to last forever....it's already past the 150 mark and still cruising 100+ miles a day.

Does Ray Franz owe us an apology?
by sleepy in(not, ray franz owes us an apology) .
(ok lets add this on)do those who are or were governing body members have a greater amount of responsability than witnesses in general?at what point do we stop being victims and become instigaters?
this may have been discussed before but i'm not sure.so sorry if it has.

Ray has more than made up for his time as a GB member by writing Crisis of Conscience. That book has changed many more lives for the better...

Was your witness worship acceptable to God?
by sleepy infoir those who believe in a god.. do you feel that your worship as a jehovahs witness was acceptable to god?.
if yes, then why did you leave?.
if not, that means god has a certain satandard of worship, how do you know you meet that now?

Yes, because I was doing my best, and I left because the JW Organization, with its hypocracy, double standards, child abuse, and blood issue is not acceptable to God.

Spice is right - and the fact that he was so flirtatious isn't cool either.

I left a successful career years ago because I was madly in love with a married man and I couldn't deal with it. I suffered unemployment and immense depression and starting over at a crappy job. It took me about 5 years to really move on and now I have a very good job again, ten times better than what I was doing before. I know its painful, but the worse thing I did was let my grief drag on for 5 years! He took my youth away from me! I even called his house a couple of times in my foolishness, but, despite his supposed feelings, his wife is the mother of his children and that's a hard bond to break. He's married and will probably stay with them, even if you break his front door down and tell the entire family about your love.
I still think about this man from time to time but I no longer spiral into a depression about it. I now have a married life of my own. I just wished I hadn't wasted those 5 years. Especially your early 20s. You never get those prime years back again. Just fill your life with other activities that bring you happiness to the best of your ability and don't look back. There's no sense reminding him or yourself of what can never happen.

Blood Part 05 - Quack science and blood
by JanH inquack science and the risks of blood transfusions.
the watchtower society has not been content with giving "biblical" reasons for prohibiting blood transfusions.
articles and publications dealing with this question are just as concerned with emphasizing the dangers of blood transfusions and the advantages of some alternatives to blood transfusions.

When's part 06 - I'm at the edge of my seat now! It's funny - when my non-witness Uncle was in a serious car accident and received blood transfusions, by JW mom insisted his personality changed, though, mysteriously, no one else could see it. My uncle was also 17 years old at the time so, of course he was changing!
