Holy Gaia, Batman!
So wars in the cradle cause earthquakes. But wars in other places do not? Gaia doesn't care that 100,000 plus people died in Japan by dropping a bomb but gets all bent out of shape over a skirmish in Iraq?
OK

In a heartbeat.
My second husband got the axe for marrying me. I was DF'd at the time. He was a really nice person. (deceased now) He saw that I was working on my car and stopped to see if he could help. He fixed my car and asked if he could take the kids to a movie. He and I became friends and he asked to marry me. The cong gossip reported him and the rest is history.

How old were you when you left?
by somebodylovesme ini only know a handful of witnesses, but i do know several ex-witnesses.
all of them left in their late teens, which (as i've read here) is pretty common.
i know there are a lot of people here who left later in life.

Baptized at age 16 left at age 54. I envy those who saw the light at a young age. But any age is ok to escape. Life is good.

The legal position of jws.
by badboy in.
if jws r ministers(we r talking about britain here), i understand u r considered self-employed if u r a religious minister, so presumely ucan't claim the dole,presumely when u r self-employed, you have 2 made provision 4 a pension(not sure if that is right).. if some1 assumes that that a jw is a religious minister and that anything they say is confidential,but the jw breaks that confidence, could some1 sue 4 breach of confidence?.

Interesting indeed. On this side of the pond the designation minister worked to keep JW's out of the military during WW2. The draft board would consider a young man a minister if he had a certain number of hours in FS. Not sure how many. Now that there is no draft here the requirements of hours for FS have been dropped to remain active. It seems that it was tied to the draft laws somehow.
The party line is still you are an ordained minister as soon as you come up out of the water. In reality the government recognizes only the elders as ministers being authorized to perform marriages and such. I don't know if they can get tax privileges. A Baptist minister for instance does not have to pay sales taxes and I do believe he is exempt from Federal Income Taxes. Correct me if I am wrong.
What kinds of government perks or hinderances apply to JW ministers? Hmmmmmmmm

Momof many join your children's school PTA or whatever it is called. Go to every school function and take the kiddies. Find out what kind of county or city recreation centers are available and see if they have classes to take with your children. Be it pottery or theater or tumbling. Get out of the house.

I never accepted the 1918/1919 fulfillments of prophecy as well as the convention in 1920. Whenever it was mentioned I did a mental "Whatever" gymnastic and continued on.

When I heard rumors of child abuse cases and surfed the net and found Silent Lambs I was shocked and livid!!!!! DA'ed myself faster than you can swat a mosquito. Told them I refuse to sully MY name by being associated with an org that tolerates, aids and abets child molestation. About a week later I found out about the UN fiasco on the net and have been learning new things almost weekly
Wow Elamona we must be clones! That was my exact route out. I though had three visits by the Gestapo before they got my DA letter.

The human carnage left in the wake of the Borg is immense. It is a killing machine set in motion many years ago by ignorant and foolish men. It now has a life of it's own. Bigger and more evil than any one man has ever been. More incidious than any of us can imagine. Those of us who imagine that we have escaped unscathed learn sooner or latter how truely damaged we really are.
I can not express the pain in my heart at what has been posted here, It just makes me numb.
Thank you Steve and Chris for letting us share your pain. We need to be reminded now and again how evil the WTS is so that we can keep up the fight to be here for the victims of the slaughter.
