it's utterly boring.
jung from the canadian bethel is drooning on.
may be the worst assembly ever.
I am home! I hope my family realizes at some point what I am putting up for them.
At any rate, I am glad this one is behind me. One thing is for sure this whole assembly on loyalty, not only to governing body but to the local elders too is really scary.
it's utterly boring.

It's utterly boring. Jung from the Canadian bethel is drooning on. May be the worst assembly ever. The youngest baptized was about 9.
great news!.
we are free!.
as of the 9th of june, me and my dear wife mrs. eden handed over our letters of disassociation at bethel in portugal, thus making official our departure from the jehovah's witnesses.
Great news indeed!!!!
just finished a walk today i came onto a happy family group of all the generations celebrating a tiny ones birthday.
they all sang ..happy birthday and i sang with my bass baritone the chorus, .."why was she born so beautiful why was she born at all.." silly words but they are happy words.
the family cheered their pleasure at this outsider joining in.
It's so nice to wish someone a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Zeb, hope you had a nice day .
for those of you who are still in because of family circumstances, what do you do about field service?
do you still go regularly, sporadically or not at all?.
if you do still go, how do you manage?
As long as you are visible a few times a month, no one will notice. These are few things that work for me:
You can fake it pretty good these days. You don't even have to try because everybody else is faking it too
i was just reading the below article on theodore jaracz.
http://watchtowerdocuments.org/the-theocratic-life-and-times-of-theodore-jaracz/.
although the article never states whyjaraz was suddenly removed from the australian branch.
Is Pat Gaza still with us?
I believe she died a number of years ago.
today marks 13 years since my wife and i have stepped inside a kingdom hall.
after 29 years full on being a jw and a number of years serving as an elder then as the presiding overseer we pulled the plug.
yes 13 years ago coming home from the first day of a circuit assembly i said to my wife “that’s it i am not going back”.
Good for you! and congratulations to both of you. I seems that many of us were afraid to look at ex jw forums. I also remember my first time. I kept looking around the room. It was as if I was expecting someone to tell me what a naughty girl I was. We've all come a long way.
gorby has been offline from jwd for some weeks, and it made my situation not better, have had some serious problems with the fading, much pressure, i have nothing new to say, it must be very similar to the situation of many faders here.. so, i had so much pressure, that we have had to change our holiday booking so we are able to visit the convention, due to family reasons, you all know what i mean.. please wish me (and us) much luck for this summer.
it is not my best summer season in life.. this is how i feel:.
.
Well, if its any consolation Gorby, I will be thinking of you when I am sitting listening to the convention I have to attend. :(
i last updated you guys almost 2 years ago here.. i thought i'd post an update.. the peace i discovered having decided to let the angst, worry and fear over what to believe is as strong as ever, although i am keeping more abreast of what jw.org (formerly known as wtbts) is up to, and i never cease to be shocked and surprised.. as my last post mentioned, i split from the jw girl i married in 1993 and both of us have moved on with new partners that better fit who we are as grown adults, rather than the children we were 23 years ago.. my partner has no religious background whatsoever, although her children are being raised as catholics by their father.
hearing her kids openly doubt, question and even ridicule the religion is heartwarming and exactly the way it should be.. as for my children, they continue to be a never-ending stream of joy and pride.. my oldest son is now 16, having been only 8 years old when we left the watchtower.
he had big anxiety problems for a while afterwards, worrying about armageddon etc.
Glad you checked in and that you're experiencing happiness by leaving this cult. Thanks for sharing your story.
