Watchtower-Free
Welcome to another awaking one .
I was bornin over 50 yrs ago . Currently being shunned by 20 close family
for asking forbidden questions .
Never thoughtin a million yrs precious family would shun me like this .
This is truly a heartless cult .

James ... Woody Alan said, 80% of success is just showing up!
So glad that you did.
>
You are in very good company here, as a matter of fact
I am so proud of my fellow jwn-ites today for showing up
to support you!
Good on all of you ex elders, co's etc.
>
I have escaped a 50yr captivity myself, 3 yrs out.
It has been very challenging but wonderful to be
free & have my original personality back again.
>
My biggest regret is the damage caused to my children.
As you can hear...we are alarmed about your Son and hope
good things have happened there.
>
A huge welcome to you and family, looking forward to
seeing your metamorphosis thru the words that you write.

SadElder
You'll find many of us here. Former elders who were kicked in the teeth by others who were jealous of our perceived standing among the brothers or some other stupid thing. Likely you will feel sadness for a while over this. It will pass. As it's been said don't let the 'bast...s' get you.
Have great day.

Welcome! I was an elder for 21 years (Coordinator, active with RDO, DC and SA), not born in, my wife and I stopped attending in 2010. I linked up with JWN about a year before leaving and I can say that there is a huge caring community here deeply concerned about each others welfare. I can fully understand why you are still attending, don't feel ashamed (thats what the WTBS does). You will slowly regain your life back as you make the adjustment back to normal life. Reconnect with your son, nobody should come between you and your family.
