  i've just found out that my application for volunteering in ghana has been accepted!!

  i can't tell you how much i'm really looking forward to this challenge.. i've recently moved to london in the hope that i would be able to pick up some project work in the 3rd world country.

  i registered with www.workingabroad.com who fitted out my profile with 80 prospects of ngo's i could apply with, and was successful with applications in mexico, india and ghana.

  i've read several references to 'apostafests' & various other gatherings that have been held for ex-dubs to get together.

  i'm very curious to know if these are formal or informal type affairs?

  are they just held between known aquaintances?

  Reestablishing family ties with non-Witnesses

  by cyberguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as most of you folks know, non-witness family members are treated almost the same way as jw's treat disfellowshipped people.

  after leaving the borg, fully or partially, has anyone had good results in reestablishing relationships with non-witnesses family relatives?

  i've got over a dozen cousins that i'd like to have a relationship with once again, but i'm not sure the best way to break-the-ice.

  Does anyone know where I can get a copy?

  by Vee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'd really appreciate any tips on where i can get a copy of 'crisis of conscience' by raymond v. franz from.

  i'd prefer to get a copy online, and i imagine it's not the typical stock that my local books etc will stock!.

  i have looked on amazon, and other searches that have come up within yahoo, but so far they're either out of stock, or don't ship outside of the us.

  hi folks!.

  just a warning if you are df or da make sure you destroy your bloodcard.

  recently i checked my medical files at my docter's and they did (still) mention that i was a jw and refused bloodtransfusions.

  How did you successfully move on...?

  by Vee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are actually some questions at the bottom of this lengthy thesis, however i thought a bit (ha ha) of background might be necessary first:-) .

  some 12months ago after the switch flicked over in my head, i began the challenge of facing my fears head on, which led to breaking through the first mental barriers of the damage done by 22 years (from birth) of indoctrination.. the fear of loosing all i had was insignificant in comparison to denying myself any further what it really meant to be true to myself.

  for the first time, i could honestly attribute that all my mental strength and decisions were of my own accord.

  XJWS! Remember your Training, Please!

  2. friends

  i read so many sad stories on this board about folks who suddenly realize that the.

  watchtower is a corrupt cult and then try to bombard their loyal relatives with information.

  about the un, the blood fraud, molesters, etc.. big mistake!

  Did being a witness bring out the best or worst?

  by freedom96 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a person years ago made a comment to me, about witnesses.

  they said that in their opinion, being a witness brought out the extreme in a person.. for example, if they were untrusting, they would trust less.. if they were vindictive by nature, they would become more hateful and vindictive.. if they were kind and loving, they would even be more so.. basically, whatever type of person they were, being a witness would intensify that persona.. have you found that to be true?

  maybe you knew someone before they came a witness.
