  Hi

  Sorry to hear about your home situation and the treatment you have received. My wife also had depression whilst at the hall it seems she was never able to please everyone all the time and how could she with the demands that were made.

  I came here like you not sure what to expect what with all the brain washing I had for 30 years about "apostates" and their ways. I have to say however that the 99.9% of people on here are smashing and will do what they can to help and support you. We have been out now for a number of years and are both healthly physically and mentally which is in no small part of being out of the troof. All my family are still in by the way so it wasn't an easy choice to make

  I wish you all the best in the coming months and years

  1975

  by general in

  do any you ever remember the elders admonishing you to change certain behaviors, attitudes, and actions that could be considered a consience matter if it was stumbling another brother or sister...they always quoted a scripture "he that stumbles the faith of another will perish in gehena" (i think it goes like that...) correct me if i am wrong.. so i have been reading crisis of conscience and i am at the part about the 1975 debacle...my question is if " jehovah is directing the faithful and discreet slave (eka governing body, wts, etc) why would he direct them into making a colossal blunder on when exactly armeggedon was coming, thereby stumbling the faith of those in god and driving them away from him?

  " in essence, its almost as if jehovah allowed them to drive the flock away, which according to the wts he is so "desperate to protect" hence the need for disfellowshipping and such.

  yes, it can be argued it was the act "of imperfect men" but don't you think jehovah would have given them a flash of "new light" to correct the fallacy in their reasoning before the disastorous ramfications that occurred in 1975?
