i'm new and have been browsing some of the posts and am surprised to find active witnesses here, pissing and moaning about this board and how other posters are mean to them, cursing at them, etc. well i'm just curious as to why an active member of the wtbts would want to fraternize with a whole lotta ex-jw's. i mean, that's why i came here, to find other exiles like myself. can't you get disfellowshipped for simply talking to apostates, even if it is in cyberspace? i'd also like to know where the 'real jehovah's witnesses message boards' are, the ones one or two of the active witnesses have referred to in several posts, and whose location seems to be classified information. if you have your own boards why do you come here? this board obviously is for anyone, current or disfellowshipped, so why complain about other posts? why not just leave i don't get it. as one who left the tyranny, lies and hypocrisy of the witnesses far behind me, i can't express enough how wonderful it is just to read the feelings and circumstances of others like myself- people who wised up and left them in the dust. it's heartbreaking, too, to read such anguish. and i hope in some small way we can all help each other get over all this bullshit some day. so, why are any current witnesses here at all? do you want to leave the wts? if you want to, i will help you do that. that's my personal mission, you know. if you want to talk to other witnesses who won't say truths you don't want to hear, go to a homogenized jw board, or better yet, a kingdom hall. and this isn't about hate, it's about exercising for the first time in my life my right to tell the world how i feel, how jacked the witnesses are, and how they fucked up my life and the lives of many of my family members.
