Well Hello Shy!
Haven't seen you post for while. I'm sorry things are rough. Just try to keep as busy as you can with school, get a part time job and time should faster. I know its hard, I went through the exact same thing from age 16-18. Just hang in there.

my wife and i are new to this forum, and really, we're now new to life as well.
or rather, life is new to us, normal life that is.
i don't want to turn this into a novel (at least, not yet).
Hello Brandon & Stephanie! Welcome Aboard!

i'm an inactive dub.
i still ponder a lot on my true motives and the chain of events and developments in my heart and mind that have led to where i am.
here's my story anyway.

Thank you Blondie. I love reading your comments.
a witness friend told my husband this:
at the sm recently
the po was giving the congregation a pep talk.
huh?
glad to say my internet connection is still up, my parents phoned to disconnect it on monday but its still going.. i havent officially dad yet but it will happen within the next few weeks.
i will also be sending the da letter to all my immediate family.
as soon as they announce my da my parents will be chucking me out but are helping me get sorted for my flat.
congrats to you!
I am also considering DA'ing myelf. I also have done the slow fade, but I am finding it hard to continue to put up with the pressure and guilt trips from my family.
I admire your strength and wish you great happiness.

i've read a lot of threads of late, where people stated when they did something wrong they would go the elders the next day and confess.. i find this truly bizzare !!!.
okay, maybe i didn't have a conscience as a jw, i did alot of things wrong, but, that would be the f--kin' day i would go to the elders and confess anything.
i would never tell those old goots anything, because then they would have something to hang over you for a long time.
I never ratted my self out or anyone else.

22there has befallen them the thing spoken of in the true proverb, the dog turns back to his own vomit, and, the sow is washed only to wallow again in the mire..
i remember when i was going over my baptismal questions the elder spouted off this scripture to me.. looking back at it i wonder how could he be such a moron!
"In those days my mother thought it would be a protection for me of sorts. Of course that thinking is wrong, but it was a different era."
I was always told that If I was not babtized, I would not be protected during armageddon. I would have no chance for survival. This is still the a jw belief
weeks, months, years??

7 long years.
