i've been lurking for about 3 months now and thought i'd better finally sign up.
you have all been an immense help to me as i have come to realize that this isn't the truth so i want to say a great big thank you!
what a crazy, emotional ride it is to finally face the truth about the doubts that i have carried for many years.
Mrs. Stumpy: "I want it to be the truth so badly, but... NO... I don't believe it is anymore. How can it be?"
We all wanted that, but it isn't.
You have an emotional time ahead of you, but you are both very fortunate in that you have each other. Most of us were not so lucky.
Deciding to live an honest, authentic life is hard, but it's real, and that is exciting.
Welcome to the rest of your life!

There are no trees. I'm guessing someone misspelled "treads."
i have always been a very rational and thoughtful person.
there where always questions i had growing up regarding things i was taught.
of course asking questions while being a jw is a big no no!
Millie: I always wondered why Jesus dying was such a big deal. He was only dead 3 days and he KNEW his Father would resurrect him, so why was it so HUGE?
Jesus took one for the team!

I think DOWN.

Here's a thread on that you might like from one of my favorite posters:
thw wts likes to play games with their statistics.
one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?
if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.
Moomanchu, I too am sorry for your loss!
This world is filled with too many instances of lives destroyed by this destructive cult.
