  Not everyone moves at the same pace Giles...and not everyone on here is an Ex-JW. You can't forget the people like myself still stuck in and in need of a place to vent our frustrations to people who actually 'get it'.

  I hadn't used JWR in a while, but guys...abruptly shutting the forum down was kind of a douche-bag thing to do to people who were in need of support.

  By kicking them to the curb, you may have very well kicked some back to the org...good job.

  we are madly in love with each other and she is in the process of being divorced.

  let me make one thing clear i'm not the reason for the divorce.

  she attempted to reconcile with him but to no avail.

  Tell her you've been reading about witnesses on apostate sites...see what her reaction is. If she's ok with it, then maybe she's mentally out.

  I'm sure witnesses around the world knew they were buying a £500,000 building when people in Africa build mud and straw huts to hold meetings in...

  I have chemical sensitivities. I noticed they're not as bad as they used to be now that I 'woke up'. I think it stems from neurological / nervous disorders exacerbated by PTSD..Basically, the cult did it.

  What I said to an Elder and the matter was dropped.

  by Simon Templar in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i decided to tell this small story.. about 25 years ago, we lived in a certain area in the usa and associated with the local congregation there.

  coincidently, one of the elders was the assistant congregation servant in a different kh and congregation which i grew up in.

  therefore, we knew one another well.

  I just love how when you're accused of something, they don't tell you. Didn't Jesus say something opposite to that?

  What's the craziest thing someone INFORMED on you about?

  by Londo111 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the culture of jws as encouraged by the watchtower is one of informing on one another, reporting to either the elders or ones designated head.

  whats the wackiest thing that someone reported on you?

  im not talking about a black-and-white watchtower rule that would land you in a judicial committee, but some judgmental nonsense that someone thought they should turn you in about?.

  Something my husband and I didn't even do.

  Eating chocolate in the back someone 'sees' us sucking each others fingers like we were giving oral?!?

  The hounders pulled us back...didn't tell us who came up with the story...just what we were accused of. We didn't know what to make of it.

  Don't know how eating chocolate turned into sucking on each others fingers?

  My husband watched the broadcast and just sat there saying: 'they're wrong...'

  He also says things like: 'If I die of old age in this system...'

  I just wish he'd wake up and realise its all crap.
