What Made You Finally Wake Up?
by Tenacious inhello to all.
i've been on this site for a couple of weeks now posting here and there but have not had the opportunity to read about many of the regular members and what led up to their leaving the wt.. i understand that some of you (i'm part of this club) may not be able to disclose many details and i can appreciate that.. i'd love to hear what was it that finally made you renounce what is and hopefully soon to be "was" the wt.. i truly look forward to having good discussions.. thank you to all for your kind participation.. .

At This Point In Time Would You Ever Subject Yourself To A Judicial Committee?
by minimus ini certainly wouldn't.
and if the elders wanted to have a meeting with me, i would respectfully decline.
if the elders wanted to deal with you, would you talk with them?.

I would totally have left the JWs differently if it happened today. I voluntarily went to the elders & set up a meeting to tell them I didn't want to be a Jdumb anymore, boy was I the dumb one!!! They treated me like dog doo doo and made me enter the back door of the Kingdumbhell, shutting the door in my face when I tried to enter the first time cuz they were busy listening to someone else's confession story. I had to wait in the dark in the bushes until they were ready for me. How totally messed up is that? I wouldn't allow myself to get treated that way now, I have way more self respect & self esteem than I did back then.

A day in the life of a Cop...my story. The truth.
by Witness 007 ini work for a mental health unit with 2 police officers we deal with people who have drug and mental health issues.
at times over the last 10 years we have "taken down" some large drug affected men, mainly "ice" these days which is epidemic here, and let me tell you even with three of us it is a huge struggle.
sometimes back up is needed or mace spray which is aweful stuff!

I have had negative experiences with cops & still don't hate them.
Back in 1994 I had a restraining order against my first husband #1(who was a large black male) because he had a violent temper. When I tried to pick up my kids from visitation, #1 started a fight with current husband#2 (small white guy) beating the crap out of him giving him 2 black eyes & bloody nose in front of my 3 young children. I got into it with #1's girlfriend and I ended up with a black eye. The offending parties had no marks on them.
When the cops showed up, they threatened to take everyone to jail if we didn't keep our mouths shut, so no report was filed. And I had a restraining order!!!
I have since softened my heart toward law enforcement, but it did take me many years to learn to respect them again. I felt violated & not protected.

Truthbknown-- thank you for your perspective. I have been wondering why people often die rather than just get wounded so you answered my question.
I have a huge amount of respect for law enforcement. Undoubtedly there are crooked cops or cops who are racist or whatever, but I know they are not the majority. I certainly wouldn't want their job and appreciate the fact that they are here to protect the public and to protect me.

im 15 and a couple weeks ago i confessed to my parents that i didn't want to be a jehovahs witness anymore and also that i was bisexual.
i had just gotten back from an eating disorder clinic and my parents decided to put me back in school (i was homeschooling before).

can you secretly join a support group for gays/lesbians? you need a place to vent and not feel so isolated
Please talk to a doctor or someone who can help you, it doesn't sound like you can take 3 more years of living at home, but you have to decide if you can deal with the alternative of living in some type of foster care until you are 18 but it would be a way out for you
my daughter was a cutter and she is a lesbian and I was able to put her through counseling and a special school, I am so sorry that you don't have a support system at home-- but don't give up!!!

love2Bworldly
I used to experience it a few times a year but mostly when I was a Jdumb, always thought it was the demons of course. One time I woke up like that and the sheet was over my face and it felt like someone/something was trying to suffocate me, that was scary but it was at my aunt's house, and I had a few weird experiences being at my aunt's house. I also used to have terrible nightmares about demons trying to get me, but those bad dreams stopped when I left the Jdumbs.

Judge Rutherford's son & lineage???
by love2Bworldly inso i have been doing a little light reading regarding the whack job rutherford and find out he had a son.
does anyone know if he had grandchildren etc?
if so, where are they?.

love2Bworldly
Thanks Blondie-- for all the info. I guess I was curious if there were any relatives of Rutherford that were still involved in the JWs
