it's so good to finally be nineteen years old.
graduated from high school, taken more seriously as an adult.
i even have a job.
Welcome scaredtospeak,
It's ok to move out when you're financially able to or you have other support. If your mum and dad are upset it's because their kids have all grown up.
You are not responsible to make your parents happy.
My daughter left home at 19 she's 22 now. We talk nearly everyday and I visit three times year.
She is happy and I am happy for her. She just grew up.

i joined this site about 4 years ago and life was very different to say the least.
i was a jw and started the process of 'waking up' after experiencing life threatening blood loss due to complications of a pregnancy.
i was married with two kids (husband was an ms) and was a stay-at-home mom.
Thanks for bringing annulment up angel.face it a good topic.
I think if you stop going there are always going to be some JWs that will shun no matter what.
I have also experienced being Df'd that some loved ones will greet me in public and chat on the phone with me.
It just depends on your loved ones and how indoctrinated they are as to whether or not an annulment will actually work over the necessary business clause if your df'd.
Happily my daughter didn't agree with my Dfing and wanted to speak to me.....then eventually she left and we both woke up.
Why do you want an annulment? Is there someone in particular you want contact with?

prologue... .
a brief precursor about myself.
i've been lurking around for almost 2 years.
Yinzerdad, welcome to the board and thanks for your story. I have lost passion for life too. I know how you feel.
But I do find joy in life each day. I have my ups and downs.
Keep posting and join in a bit....you might find a passion.

thousands of mormons have simultaneously tendered their resignation from the cult following secret changes to the handbook that further discriminated against gay members and the children of gay couples.. "last week secret revisions to the handbook for the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints was leaked to the public, sparking a furious backlash and ultimately resulting in the mass resignations.

This is a much better article from a more reliable mainstream unbiased source.

Interesting if it's true. The source is not one I have heard of. Seems pretty good none the less, and is a good example to those JWs who are awake and still stuck in WT.

why does everyone just turn a blind eye to the false teachings of the watchtower?
the bible warns us many times and in many ways not to follow false prophets - including the lake of fire.
fundamentally why do the followers of the watchtower just ignore the very bible they claim to live by?.
WireRider,
Most of us are here for support or to give support in JW related issues. You have the answers why JWs believe in WT lies.
It's a cult and they are indoctrinated.
A lot of us here have woken up from this indoctrination and struggling to rebuild our lives from scratch.

hi my name is graham (but i much prefer to be called grags), i'm a 38 year old married man from the uk and have been studying with the witnesses for about 3 months.
i do a study every saturday and love every minute.
in john 6: 16-24 jesus's disciples get onto a boat without jesus and set off.
Grags, welcome and thanks for coming. If you enjoy your study with JWs, that's really nice. There are a lot of loving kind JWs to meet. I was one.
But as far as having the only one truth about the bible that's a different matter. Watchtower is a cult and it has harmed my family.
If you want to know my story let me know and I will post my YouTube for you
Take care Grags

Welcome Pioneerbot, it's great you woke your kids. Howe old are they? I woke mine up too. It's great you sowed them The Australian Royal Commission hearings. Excellent move.
Thanks for the added info.
