  What is behind your choice of forum user name?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  2. friends

  just curious how we all think.. what prompted or influenced your choice of username for this forum?.

  there are some really amazing names, and it would be great to hear the stories behind them.... mine was nothing fancy.

  i just felt "stuck in a rut too" along with so many others.

  I really need humor in order to get through this,

  I did,

  He was publicly drunk on a number of occasion, chronic lier to boot, he was off for a couple of years and then back on, I was thinking after that, how could I ever take seriously anything this guy says again, not because of the drinking, but because of the lying, it's not like he was sorry, :0)

  "...You will be Disfellowshipped for 7 years"

  2. experiences

  shortly before i left the "troof" a co had given a talk during his visit.

  at the time there was a scandal going on in the congregation where 2 couples basically swapped spouses with each other.

  it was quite the scandal.

  Hard to say, he has a lot of sway, it takes elders who will not be bullied to stand up to him, on the other hand 7 years is a lot of time, aren't they rotated every 3 years?

  i was a jw for 11 years , came to know ttatt and wrote my disassociation letter 5 years ago.

  since then i had been an atheist and trying all i can to spread awareness for “still in” members.

  my wife and mom are still jws and i do get along with them perfectly.

  No one studied with me, I was alone, the religion was just there (I was born in) It was the "understanding" that they were RIGHT and that the whole world was WRONG!! and BAD!! This attitude had a pretty strong effect on me, but no, no one, I remember they had me study with another kid when I was 6, maybe he'!l write in lol,
