I'm from the Memphis area originally. I knew the Reckards from Bolivar and the Brittons from Jackson. Also knew a couple named Bobby and Susan (cant remember the last name) from Jackson. Anyone know these people??

anybody from west TN???
by christopherceo inthis is my first time posting and i am just curious if anyone in west tn is on this forum.
i figure the best way to begin the healing is to find out if there is someone in my former circuit who has escaped also.

Man, let me tell ya. We started having a hard time with the biz 2 and a half years ago. She wanted a new 30 grand car and said she'd get a job to pay for it, but what she made wasnt good enuff and we finally bankrupted and EVERYTHING went back. She quit her job within 30 days of me telling her we were going bankrupt and hasn't worked full time since. The last 2 and a half years she hasnt filed taxes (doing the books was her only job) and now that I have finally left, she still wants to bleed me dry. Plus have me pay all the back taxes. Trust me, what you are going through I can totally relate to. As soon as I left she quit her part time job that paid decent and worked for her dad so she could have her wages manipulated to make her look impoverished and try to get alimony from me. Anyway, I'm close to the end of my fight (I hope) and now shes trying her best to make things hard. Amazing how a good JW can act and still live with themselves. Good luck with your fight. I really hope it goes easier for you than it has for me. :)

Nita,
Your hubby and my wife should get together. Men and women don't change. It's not a gender thing, just a fact of life. My wife begged me to stay grasping for things that might save the marriage, but as you probably realise already, ppl like that are really grasping to hold on to their free ride through life. They are scared because they DREAD having to actually stand on their own two feet and take responsibility for themselves. I let my wife leech off me for 9 years of marriage. She might have actually worked full time 6 months of that time. Now that I'm gone, guess what? She STILL dont work full time. See, they dont change. Anyway, that's my 2 cents.John

Wow, I've had similar experiences in here. I was in chat one day and met a guy I used to know from 4 or 5 years back when I chatted in a JW room! I also caught up with a long lost friend that was in my old congregation in here. Lyin eyes and I also had some mutual friends from Louisiana. It's a small world after all!

Wow, what a welcome! Thanks guys. I figured I would start a new thread to tell you about my story. I was raised by mother who was a JW and started giving talks at 6, pioneered, and was a servant at one time. I have a lot of good memories from being a JW, but a lot of events lead to my df'ing and finally throwing in the towel. I really dont hate JW's, just dont agree with a lot of what I have seen lately. I was married almost 10 years and a lot of what led me to leave has to do with my wife and her family. I worked hard as a husband to provide, but for some reason the good qualities that bing a witness is supposed to develop never seemed to stick with her and her family. I have been through about a year of her being drunk most of the time, taking multiple kinds of "feel good" prescriptions, being physically abused and being taken advantage of financially. She got a little slap on the wrist for all that. Her Dad, a servant, knew about all this and never said anything. He, stole altogether probably 200,000 from relatives and friends. Somehow he finds justification for this. And I'm sure if i brought it to the attention of anyone, he would probably get the same thing as his daughter, a slap on the wrist, since he's a "good ole boy" in the congregation in Cottonwood, CA. It's funny that everyone thinks he is so good, when he bad mouths more ppl in the orginization than anyone I have ever known. Wow the "truth" has really transformed their lives! NOT! Now I'm divorcing his daughter and the family is out to make me pay. We dont have kids and no assets (the ex plunged us into bankruptcy 2 years ago) so the only thing they can go for is alimony. (the bread of laziness she does eat) They have used every underhanded tactic they can to impoverish her so I can pay more. So now you can see why I've had my fill and will most likely just stay out. I have been taught how the truth makes better people, and all I have seen lately are people worse than the world within the orginization. Anyway, I'm almost done my divorce and I have my Dad and sister to support me through this. Maggie my sister drifted out and actually told me about this site. Her nick is Magzy28 if you want to read her story. Anyway, I am 33 now. Was raised mostly in Memphis and the mid south. Spent a little time in Belleville, IL and now live in Redding, CA. Look forward to meeting some of you guys and chatting. Later, John
