Sorry your hubby is being hounded like this. Them blaming you is not respecting the sanctity of marriage. Credibility and reputation are very important do everything you can to protect yours. This cult can ruin lives.

after hubby skipped out on the memorial his parents and close friends started getting more assertive with him.
before they took on the role of the concerned let me rescue you from your apostate wife's clutches.
it's 100% my fault he stopped being a witness according to the inlaws.

hi bros.. after my father's publishing his book, "15 questions after 40 years of jw" , many ex-jw bros in korea became motivated to rush to the coc korean project.
however any secular project needs a fund eventhough it's a not-for-profit.
fortunately, a bunch of bros decided to donate generously $300~$7,000 to this unprofitable business.
I think I will bump this on 06/05/16.
Not long

during co visit, i took him for a bible study i was conducting.
during the session, the householder said he believed satan was not a person, but personification of evil within us.
i left co to handle householder’s doubt.
Elbib, sorry about your experience with the CO. It just goes to show how hierarchical WT is and how having opinions is not allowed or encouraged.
You were mistreated. I am so sorry.

i have a question with regard to fading.
the wife and i have plans to move to another hall and continue our fade from the organization.
we are already missing quite a few meetings and we are not reporting time.
Sounds like you have built an excellent network outside WT.
Sounds like there is no need to carry on the facade..... You have everything in place.
My daughter did a long fade and hardly anyone stays in touch..... Eventually when you leave you will be seen as bad association by some.
Go for it I say.

Moving congs might be useful if you were being hounded by your elders. It can also be good if you are not well known in your circuit.
To make a fade easier I would recommend building a circle of friends outside WT. I would see this more of a priority than meeting new people in a new cong.

horrible crime in glasgow on thursday evening when a well loved muslim shop keeper asad shah was stabbed to death by at least one other muslim man.
mohammad faisal, a family friend, said a bearded muslim wearing a long religious robe entered mr shah’s shop and spoke to him in his native language before stabbing him in the head with a kitchen knife.. mr shah had posted the twitter message ‘good friday and a very happy easter, especially to my beloved christian nation’.
residents of shawlands in glasgow say he was well respected and had been known to hand out christmas cards to neighbours despite being of a different faith.. hundreds have turned out in a vigil near the crime scene....
Very sad story..... I bet his family are suffering very much.
He seems like a great example for others to follow....it's so very sad he lost his life for being nice.
Be nice everyone

who cares?.
the first time i was in distress with the watchtower, i was fortunate to find this place.
my ego thought ,i was somehow special, that my posts were reaching a worldwide audience, and most of all i felt at ease, maybe home is a better word.
I am here after about three years and have seen posters come and go. A few I have met in person and truly are great friends.
It's a shame some have left though and I feel the personality of the site has changed over the years too.
I feel good about supporting others and sharing my experiences.

i have been disfellowshipped twice, and currently am- both times for sex.
i have a high need for sex in my relationship, and after 3 marriages, keep not finding that need in the other person.
so, i end up going out of the organization looking for it.
I call troll on this post lol hahahaha

ok, i am not now, nor will i ever be a jw.
so ive been with my gf for over a year now and she has finally woke up to how destructive the cult was to her!
she turned to it more and had private tutors?
Welcome to the board. You seem very caring and thoughtful. The best thing you can do right now is tell her how well she thinks for herself and how good she is at making decisions.
This will help her support herself and leave her family home when she is stable. You can also help her make future plans.
Take care
