I dont think anyone appreciates being told they are wasting their lives. Maybe later on when they are alone they will think about what you said.

Morning Witness - Sowing the Seeds
by Frazzled UBM inso i walked past a couple of young witnesses on the way to dropping my son off this morning and they were still there at the station when i came back to catch the train.
seeing them made me feel sad and think about all the stories of regret here on jwn so i figured what the hell i'll tell them.
so i approached them and asked how old they were.

Oops I just reread your Op. I see that you will have a structure. No random ravings.
Are the list of questions ready for a preview?

Snare: I prefer the written word myself.
I've watched some video testimonials and to be frank the personalities sometimes turned me off.
Is there going to be an editing process or are you going to show the videos as is?
Just my 2cents worth.

Consider the "outcome" when elders apply the two-witness "rule"
by AndersonsInfo injehovahs witnesses two-witness rule is applied by elders when a witness member accuses another member of a sin, even if that sin is a criminal act.
if there arent two witnesses to the accusation, it goes nowhere, including not being reported to the authorities.
and in the case of an allegation of child abuse, the accused is free to molest again.. watchtower attorney, jim mccabe, recently stated this about jehovahs witnesses two-witness rule which he described as a bible-based belief :.

The 2 witness rule is out dated and reckless.
I am a little puzzled though. It sounds like several of these kids were abused together. That would have been more than 1 witness wouldn't it? So why didnt the elders investigate?
I know when I came forward, my 2 other sisters backed me up. But the elders did not report it. They did delete him as an elder.

Moving out after the borg
by happy@last ini was delighted to hear of adjustments news, but it did remind me of what i'm sure a lot go through when they leave, here's a little of my story:.
when i married as a jw, and when we moved there was always a team of willing volunteers happy to drive the van or move the furniture or decorate.
additonally when you get married you have a list of items people want to buy for you, even if some had odd taste we received lots of needed and wanted items, sometimes 2 or 3 of the same type.. as a da'd person, also seperated from my spouse i needed to move home.

one last step..Is being mentally out the same as being emotionally out?
by MissFit inwe talk here about the importance of being mentally and physically out to be really free.. what about being emotionally free?.
i realized for me, i had to be emotionally awake first.
i had been yo-young back and forth for years.

You are right, but it is up to us to decide how much it will affect us. I think this site helps us work that out and gives us support while we are doing so.

Sipping our drinks at the track..part 2.". I didnt tell them anything," she said
by MissFit in...as we were enjoying our weekly sunday "no meetings margaritas.. my friend and i have been meeting for lunch and margaritas ( okay mostly margaritas, we throw lunch in so we dont feel like alcoholics lol ??).
instead of going to meetings.. ( we discovered we could have lunch*margaritas* without the meeting first.).
my jw lady friend still goes out "in service" and stays in touch with her "service buddies" who also know me.. so she was telling me that they asked about me and mentioned that they would like to stop by to see me.

I am going into withdrawals. My friend hasn't been feeling very well so we had to cancel our Sundays for a couple of weeks.
I check on her regularly to make sure she is okay. I am hoping we can get together again next week.

((((((Niveau))))) Lots of hugs. You are not alone. As you explore this site you will find many people struggling with the same issues you are.
Someone mentioned that many experience the stages of grief after they leave the org.
