Questions by JWs in 1976
by Doug Mason inin 1976, my friend bruce price was in contact with jehovahs witnesses who had become disillusioned through the debacle with 1975. bruce was the leading voice among the sda ministry in working for jws.
at the time, i was a member of the sda church.
although i left them about 25 years ago, to this day bruce and i enjoy a strong and genuinely warm friendship.. so, in 1976 bruce invited me to a meeting with one of the jws who was leading the disquiet in his congregation in dandenong (victoria, australia).

Another rumor about changes in Watchtower and Awake
by wannaexit init's only a rumor.
but we all know that sometimes rumors become a reality.. supposedly the public watchtower and awake magazines will be combined together and the two shall become one.. i wonder if the present 16 page "rags" are becoming an embarrassment.
they truly are rags of the lowest quality..

@Eustace- I believe the rumor is that it will be a 32 page magazine.
@Smiddy and Erbie- LOL ---there was actually a time when I was such a good little girl-and never never said anything that would indicate I was running ahead of "mother". Those days are long gone.

Mind Reading and Reinstatement - Part 1
by RayPublisher ini've published a new article on my blog about the agony that people go through in seeking reinstatement.
part one includes a personal experience of one that crawled throught this field of glass in order to be able to regain a relationship with a close friend that is asleep in the jw movement.. part two will have a transcript (and accompanying audio on my youtube channel) from a sister that recorded her entire reinstatement hearing, including what the elders said about her after she was dismissed from the room while they deliberated.. here's a peek at the article on jwstruggle:.
.. .. .. there are likely a number of you on jwnet that have "been there and back again" and gone through it.. what was the hardest thing about getting reinstated?.

Wow! so many new members the last couple of weeks! I am so happy that many are figuring things out. I also want to give Awakening a heartfelt WELCOME.
I would have to agree with the members that have suggested to tread lightly and carefully. And I love what Jnat has said: "Don't spook the natives."
From personal experience, I know that if my husband would have told me right off the bat what he was learning and his involvement with this forum's predecessor, I would have left him. I was so "cooked" and so devoted that I would have tossed him and our marriage aside. No question in my mind. He knew that too. For the sake of our marriage and family, he kept it all in. I realized after, how difficult this was for him. But eventually through his gentle prodding and reasoning--I started to see things too. I love him so much more for this sacrifice.
My 2 cents worth: do all you can and educate yourself on what this religion is really all about. Take time for yourself and your wife. Increase the time you spend together and do fun stuff. Every once in a while draw her out. Most likely your wife has doubts of her own and things don't make sense for her either.
See if you can step down from your duties and when you go to meetings make use of your time o read other stuff. It's easy now. Just use a mobile device --sit at the very back and tune things out.
Wishing you all the best

Were you popular in your congregation or district?
by Emery innot to start some form of popularity contests here but i was wondering how popular some people were?
how far did your network go in this organization?
this question also pertains to those who are actively fading..

I wasen't popular--but I got a lot of attention. I was the role model--pioneering right out of highschool. I was a very productive pioneer. I had a lot of studies and I was on stage a lot and was interviewed at assemblies. Now that I have stepped back and do very little---I have become a nobody in their eyes. I like my situation now a lot better.
