new boy
50 years as a J.W.,born in 1949 in Azusa Calif, raised in Glendora Calif. My father was DFed in 1961 for not going to the Kingdom Hall he was assigned to, by 3 brothers who later all left or got kicked out of the borg too! Pioneered in Salina Kansas 1968-1970. Was at N.Y. Bethel 1970-1974. Married in March 1974-July 2001,My Wife left me after a 27 years of marriage, because I no longer wanted to be a Jehovah Witness. Lost my sister, 99% of all my friends, and could have lost my 2 children, but they were treated so badly, because I left, that my children left the loveless organization too. We all are doing fine now. Now my ex-wife will have nothing to do with me and little to do with her kids, or her grand children. She turned her back on her own father who was Dfed in 1958! He later blew his brains out, because his 2 children (my exwife)would have nothing to do with him, plus he was not allowed to see his only grand children {my children}! and why? The only thing he was doing wrong was smoking. My father could see me and my children even though he had not been a J.W. for 40 years and he was smoking too! The only difference is, he knew it was all bullshit, got reinstated back in 1965 and faded. It is absolutly amazing what you can get people to believe in! By their love you will recognize them-------Isn't that the truth!

I live in Manhattan and have a typical background. 3rd generation, I spent 3 years as an elder and many years as a MS. I am divorced and well into my life free of the organization. To quote a line from a John Lennon song: Every day in every way is getting better and better.

Number 6
<div>32 years old (as at Feb 2002) Raised in "the troof" left in 1991 after being treated like crap. Got on line mid 2000... the rest is history. Email me privately if you wish. I will always reply. I lurk quite a bit because I don't often get the time to post but am totally addicted to this forum. Be seeing you.</div>

When persons are in great danger from a source that they do not suspect or are being misled by those they consider their friends, is it an unkindness to warn them? They may prefer not to believe the warning. They may even resent it. But does that free one from the moral responsibility to give that warning? -- THE WATCHTOWER January 15,1974

Usual story. Mum started a Bible study when she was vulnerable and got baptised in 1973 amid the 1975 hysteria. I was baptised in 1980 at 15 years old, left in 2000 and signed up here soon after. Follow me @undubbed
