Well that's just normal ... more over if you have been a JW all your life ... all the good - (and of course the bad) moments of your young life occured when you were a JW - also all the hope and motivation that it gives to believe (in now what you know is bullshit) make some moments quiet special (even with the not reliable friend that are in there) ... It's a big part of your life ... You'll never forget ... and you might always feel nostalgic from time to time about that (the good is just good - so well just remember it as is) that doesn't change what you think and your décision to have a better life out of the JW JAIL ...

How did you actually envision Paradise?
by freedom96 inthere was always the talk of the new order, or new system.. but did you ever take the time to wonder what it would really be like?.
would it look like it big park?
would it be country like, with acres of land per home?

Under74 ... No actually at that time I didn't know about it yet (I was 12 when I left first - actually when my mother left us alone at home to live with her 22 years husband she was 45) ...
well later (I've touch this stuff the first time I was already 18 it took times for me to be sure I could handle it - observed my friends) but never attempted meetings more than 6 months (and only once) in a row at the same place and usually 1 to 2 times just to take the temperature (all fake spirited just sniffing the ambiance) ... and I like to live ... I hate being in jail ... this life is already a kind of jail (we are interdependant) actually that stuff is very relaxing (to me) ! (that doesn't mean everybody can handle it)

I don't know but thinking about it what could lead to that in a sick mind : the probleme have to be related to the kids somehow, maybe there father. So it could be a way to cut all links with him ... Weird I know but as a sick way to get read of her links with their father or a revenge to say I don't care YOUR kids.

just wanted to say hello
by rune ini know i have been quiet for a while... i am sorry my friends, hopefully i will think of something meaningful to say again someday, something we can all discuss and enjoy.
things will never be the same again, and i hope that from this passing shadow to the next you find a piece of what you are looking for.. the tiniest things can make the most enormous differences.... i wish you all well.

i can of course tell ya'll my entire spiritual story, but that would take an entire bookwork.

What obligation do you feel towards your family who are still in?
by czarofmischief ineverybody's situation is different, of course, and everybody has their own choices to make.. but do you recall that when we were dubs, we were constantly urged to go out in service, because people needed to hear what we thought was the truth?
they would use that scripture by paul, "i consider myself a debtor to all men" etc.
to enforce the moral compulsion to go door to door.. now that we know the truth about the truth; how obliged are we to tell our family?

help me to talk to my wife
by toolmaker ini have attached a letter that i am thinking of giving to my wife who is a witness, she wasn't going to the meetings for 8 months and showed interest in exploring other avenues of spirituallity (christian).
without getting into too much detail she was disfellowshiped for seeing me.
she was told by the elders that she had no grounds for devorce at the time and that she had to go back to her abusive husband.

... 75 years !!! well congrats to them ... I guess that they are not the only one JWs or Catholics or Whatever, morevore like Sunspot and some other said in the past (married a long time ago) ... there were not that much solutions (most for women) for a couple but to stay together ... most of the time what separeted them was death (whatever happen in their story - and whatever they say about it when very old and still together - they're not gonna come back on bullshit wish is cool anyway - but it does not mean that it reflects the pure reality) ...
Also lots of women like to romanced there story it give them value (in lying which is funny somehow) Cause it means (to those who don't know about the details/reality : I've been loved because I deserve it (they might really deserved it and didn't get it) - and it doesn't put any black spot on their husband : which is cool also ... that still doesn't mean that everything was THAT perfect ... some secrets are very well hold in between both or the only into the familly)
My Grand Mother (Mother side) always talked about her husband as perfect (not in hearing what my mother told us about it at all ... a good father yes, but certainly NOT a good husband) he died way before her, she never got married again (she died at 99)
It's not the same story from my Grand Mother (Father side) she dare (still alive) saying that when her husband died she actually Thank GOD ! Cause she was living in hell (and yes everybody can tell).
Now there is a difference in between a bad husband and a tyran ... of course !
Some men (and women) are very good in doing thing with discretion (abuses / cheating / ...) what people see from the oustide doesn't talk that much and it often happen that the one who's complainning actually appears like the bad one (Oooops) ... There was a time where my mother (who didn't talk about her troubles) from the outside proch neigborhood appeared like the bad one ... I can tell she was not ... but she have been treated as if, for a long time !!! those who never knew might still believe ... those who realised later I guess don't care that much (it's not their story after all - and they might not even remember being critical and being assholes before - they just aknoleged and move on).
