  As I'm having the day off work today I decided to take the time to post a BIG 'HELLO ' to all my old friends on the forum, and also to the new members here.

  Nothing much has changed for me and my family. We are all out and happy. I often bump into dubs who either panick because they don't know if i'm df'ed and whether they CAN talk to me.................or try to save me and then take off quickly because with what i tell them they may need to be saved from me! LOL

  As frustrating as any conversation is with a dub, i have alot of fun, especially when the sister says that "you can't blame jehovah for sexual abuse" and i say "no, that's true but you would blame me if i didn't warn your daughter and put your grand daughter at risk".......the eyes pop out now because it's her family and suddenly the danger and feelings are real and personal. Then i remind the sister that i got df'ed for doing just that, warning her daughter of the danger of leaving her kids with pedo. The sister still has to defend the borg and says, "well that's the problem with so many new ones coming in to the borg, they bring their past bad behaviour with them, such as sexual abuse" I just assure her that the pedo that abused my kid is 3rd generation dub and he is still in the congregation.

  I guess they will eventually df me but I really couldn't care less. Fact is the whole experience of being a JW and all the bad events and traumas have become a very distant memory to me.

  For all new ones that have recently joined JWD..............time is a real friend. It will pass and life away from the WTS is wonderful.

  All the best to you all and take care. I will drop in again. So in Marvin Gaye's famous words........"what's goin' on?"

  Cheers, Bliss

  We celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary this week.

  by nicolaou in

  2. relationships

  like most of you we never did the birthday or christmas thing and so over the years anniversary celebrations were grabbed as a real chance to wrap presents, get festive and party.

  this habit has carried on and there's a small mountain of shiny gifts all waiting to be torn open on april 5th.

  okay, the kids are bit older now (18, 16 & 12) but we all still make a fuss of this one day.. we'll be going out for a slap up meal tomorrow night, just the 5 of us at our favourite curry house.

  Congrats Nic....................it's so good to hear others sharing positive things about the most important thing in the world...........FAMILY.

  Sounds like you, your wife and kids are in a great place.........together and out of the borg.

  I am in the same situation, we all left about 4yrs ago. Life is good!

  Wishing you many more happy years together.

  Cheers from down under, Bliss

  after exactly 1 year on discovering jwd and working through emotions, feelings etc, i feel the need to relate this.. as a witness i really believed i was smart.

  i believe i must have had a high iq.

  that i knew so many more things then others.

  Oh, Misspeaches.............luv. I guess it could be the 'big fish in little pond' syndrome. As a convert to dubdism, when i started studying and going to meetings, (and you know who i studied with) i was always made to feel as though i knew little if anything. even my italian was corrected by my teacher, her being slovak and me being italian.........guess i was dumb. maybe if you're raised to believe you are in the true religion and have holy spirit directing the borg, therefore you have godly wisdom, you must be extremely smart. when you join like i did, particularly as a woman, single mother and obviously capable, you are humbled by the elders and others constantly because you need to control your spirit of independence or pride. i remember when i started my job as a film technician, having worked in television before, so many bros and some sisters would try to put down what i did, like say things that made what i do seem so trivial and unnecessary compared to what I COULD BE DOING FOR JEHOVAH. yet so many of the elders would be challenged by me.........guess that's why i got df'ed at one point. do you remember bro/elder MO? when there was a vidoe of the quickbuild made i was asked how to edit something. he listened to what i said. i offered to do it but he said not to worry, it may not even get done. next thing, he's done it and bragging. god forbid should i be better at something than him. i'm so glad i had a life and many experiences before becoming a dub, and i'm even happier i got out and have broadend my thinking again. life is so dull and mind-numbing in dubland. we must speak soon......re. our last phone conversation ok. cheers bliss

  Elders teach "Don't raise your hat to a lady! - it's worldly."

  by ozziepost in

  back when i was a boy in the 1950s many men wore hats and so did my father.. one evening at the kh he was called in to the backroom by the elders for a 'meeting after the meeting',.

  his crime?

  he had been seen raising his hat when greeting women!!!!.
