What was the "point of no return" for you?
by B_Deserter inwas there a point in leaving the organization where you did something that demonstrated that you had officially made your decision to leave?
for me, i think it's going to be when i vote in the general election this year.
it will be my first action in public against jw doctrine.

Lecithin?.....
by Pahpa indoes anyone remember the brouhaha over lecithin in candies and other food items?
i remember one sister writing to all the manufacturers of these products to inquire whether or not the lecithin was from a blood source.
there were even lists of products to avoid that were circulated in the congregation.

Any positive experiences with the JWs?
by greendawn inwe all talk about our negative experiences with the jws and no doubt most were negative but weren't there any positive experiences with some of the few decent jws around?
i recall an old jw who was of the anointed and who was very benign, knowledgable, supportive and opposed to much that the dubs were doing especially the lack of love among the congregations.
also another very good natured dub who would always reward me whenever i gave him a little help with his business.

I met an ex jw at church today!
by esw1966 ini recently wrote an email to my pastor and let him know of my story and journey up until this point.. he thanked me for blessing him with my story and had stated that he was praying for me and my situation and my 3 children.
he was very encouraging, positive, and loving.
after getting his quick response, i received another email from him stating that he had just received an email from another ex jw and how similar her story was to mine.

How is it possible that JWs are permitted to be nurses etc?
by MinisterAmos inthe first thing i can remember from my jw studies is having the (no) blood policy explained to me; the brother liberally quoted from the ot and then from the nt when i complained that mosaic law did not apply to christians.
he also reminded me that "all scripture is beneficial" (forget which book that's from).
a quote that i must have heard a hundred times if i've heard it once is from leviticus.
