hi, i just joined the board and wanted to present myself.. i'm active, in fact very active in congregation activities serving "where the need is great" in a foreign language congregation somewhere in western europe.
as a young brother, i'm seen as an example as i'm doing all a good witness should do.. i had doubts years ago but i decided just to ignore them and move to another congregation to preach more.
that worked for some years but i'm now at the exact same point.
Welcome Walker,
Your English is great. You have plenty of response so I will keep mine brief.
You have come to the right place to explore your doubts. I first doubted holy spirit when I had a bad experience. Then the whole WT fell around me as I did research.
Jwfacts.com and jwsurvey.org helped me a lot and this site too.

my mom was unwell for awhile bruises on her body....doc tells us she has a form of lukiemia.
of course "no blood" she is anointed and stubborn as hell.
her platelets (blood fraction 2% of blood volume) are 4 should be 150!!!
So sorry to hear what you're going through. It seems dreadful. My thoughts are with you through this terrible time

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.
