i am sort of new here, used a different username for a while but things got 'difficult' at home so i've since been lurking.... what i would be really interested to know, if you don't mind sharing, is what it was that triggered your doubts and initial research which led to awakening, was it a bad experience, injustice, changed doctrine?

for me, it was seeing mistreatment of young ones in the congregation, they're under so much pressure and as soon as they go even slightly astray they are shunned, either informally (as bad associations which pushes them further into the 'world') or formally - with elders dying to throw the book at them so they even lose their family.... ...then reading about child abuse issues in the press.... ...which led me to silentlambs.

...then jw facts, this forum and coc, wham!

Injustice is what woke me and my kids up. We experienced domestic violence and the elders Df'd me because I exposed it and they wanted to shut me up.

Here is a youtube of my story and the JC meeting with the elders. It's over 30 mins so watch it when you have time.

by jws in

jw
friends

my son was never a jw.

he was born about a dozen years after i left.

but he's heard about it from me and knows i was one.. recently he has a new best friend at school.

Sounds like they are not very active anyway......I wouldn't worry unless your son comes home telling you you're going to die at Armageddon xx

A Burger and a Hook-up

by John Aquila in

so i went to get a burger just now, and a couple of elders from my former congregation caught me off guard.

they started giving me the we feel so sorry for you, you must be so lonely bit.

i kept telling them im doing great and im not lonely but its like they couldnt hear me talking.

KateWild

I'd be willing to bet you could go all the way with at least one of them - hoser

I would agree I think desperate women JWs are more likely to be sexually promiscuous than non JW women who have more self respect.

A big hello and thank you

by iwasblind in

i just wanted to introduce myself and say a big hello to all of my mentally diseased friends.. i say friends because i have been lurking for some time so it feels like home (us lurkers are a bit scared and cautious so it takes a while).

i won't bore you with too many details, but i am a born in, currently serving as the cobe of a congregation.

my wife and i have pioneered for the last 10 years and were shaken awake by that ridiculous 15th july 2013 wt about the generation and 1914.. my wife who is much smarter than me has questioned for years.

Iwasblind, it's nice to see you have plans and all exits should have a good plan to help you stay in control and do things your way. It's cathartic and helps you transition better.

"Be Kind to the Fornicators in the Congregation!" -- New August Watchtower

by FusionTheism in

have you noticed the article entitled "watch your associations in these last days" in the new august 2015 study watchtower?.

unless i'm reading it wrong, or somehow misinterpreting it, it is saying that we should be kind to intentional breakers of god's laws inside and outside the congregation, including fornicators, but that we must not be close associates with them.. are they already preparing for a shift in their disfellowshipping practices?.

here are the relevant paragraphs:.

KateWild

It's all utter nonesense and propaganda. Being kind is getting close.

Fisherman your idea of kindness is nonesense.

The article states that unrepentant ones get df'd. Well that depends on your dad really. It's all total rubbish and shunning policies have not changed by way of this article.

I feel so sorry for her. Such a terrible experience. Her parents are wrong on so many levels.

I am so glad she has kids and can function to take care of them and build her own lovingfamily.
