**MUST READ** AlanF's email to Knocking.org
by sf inthis is a must-read that, hopefully, will stay an "active topic" for all seekers and lurkers, by bumping it to the top as often as possible.
alan wrote it in randys {dogpatch} thread regarding knocking.org documentary and in reply to the email mr. engardio sent to barbara anderson.
however, it is so vital a read that it indeed needs its own thread:.

I am inactive and probably will never go back but I'm not bitter like u guys.
You probably were on the fringes of the organization for it to have affected you. Good for you. And thanks for the free advice. Don't let the door smack you to hard on the way out.

no stones please!
by almosthome ini am hoping a little balance is allowed here, or at least the coin's flip side.
this is my story so far, but i am fairly sure it is going to end up a bit differently than most i have read on your site.
the brothers couldn't help my husband, he didn't want help.

Hi,
You do not not need anyone's permission to go back. Choice is what it's all about.
It's obvious you are missing a sense of community. You feel like you want to belong. I am not sure you will find that sense of belonging once you get there.
No one denies the fact that there are some very nice individuals in the org. Pehaps you are looking to find some nice friends. I hope you find them.
I for my part can't wait to get out of her. After 35 years of faithful obedience to a human organization that has dictated every aspect of my life, I look forward to the day I will be free.
If you are coming to this board you are abviously not afraid to read so called 'apostate literature". Before you make any final decision why don't you get yourself Ray Franz's 2 books. The first is "CRISIS OF CONSCIENCE" and the second "IN SEARCH OF CHRISTIAN FREEDOM". These books will give you a bird's eye view of what the organization is really like. I learned more about the org from these two books than in the over 35 years of association.
wishing you only good things,

Does being a JW make a person physically sick?
by Gill indefinitely mentally and more than likely physically.. i have read on a few posts and freeminds about an increase of mental illness amoungst jws of between 2 and 40 % and it seems understandable considering the amount of stress being in the borg puts on people.. but what about physically?.
what are your experiences since leaving the borg?.
do you feel well and fitter than ever before?.

My cong is filled with sick people. Most suffer from some form of mental anguish. So I would have to say YES tht being a JW can make a person sick.

New and need a question answered before I post any other questions
by soundbox_guy inokay, first off, let me get this straight...you guys are all witnesses, some all active, some do things all the way right, some don't do things all the way right?
some are by the book but not preachy, and some are witnesses that are rogue and do things their own way?
i just want to know before i post any doubts or concerns or anything because even though i know we're supposed to stay away from places like this on the internet, i don't want what i say somehow getting back to my congregation somehow and next thing you know 4 elders come busting through the door waving "no blood" cards and shouting "freeze, jehovah's witnesses!

We have a family plan. It's based on what we have learned on this board.
If the elders ever came after my husband and I we would sue the local elders.

I showed this point about a month ago to my father in law. He said that 10 years ago there was an article that basically said that Korah would be resurrected because he was swallowed up by sheol.
I thought this was "new light" but he didin't think so.
Any scholars in the house today that can clarify this for us?
