have you become a Christian since leaving the JW's.....if so why?
by digderidoo inmany people i have spoke to on this site have found that becoming part of a christian group since leaving the witnesses has been of benefit to them.
i must admit at times i have considered visiting other churches or religions, but have not acted upon it.
but i am curious as to what's out there.. can anyone enlighten me?.

need advice about violent abuse toward my children
by digderidoo inover the last week many things have come to light about violence directed toward my children my their mother and stepfather.. for many years i have been concerned and have attempted to rectify the problem by approaching my x herself.
she always denies it.. this weekend my youngest son, aged 7, told me that his mom had tried to choke him, yelling, 'i'm going to fucking murder you'.
his stepfather pulled her off him.

Opinions on drugs?
by digderidoo inwhile i was in the 'truth' i and a few of my peers were curious about the effects of certain drugs.
as a teenager during the rave scene of the late 80's early 90's many of the 'worldly' kids were doing ecstasy, smoking weed and becoming heavily involved in the drugs scene.. when i left the 'truth', this curiosity got the better of me and i started smoking weed and eventually tried ecstasy, speed and lsd.. while all drugs can be abused (and i have abused some) i am of the opinion that the use of drugs can be a good experience, if used moderately.. i was wondering whether others have experienced drugs since leaving the truth, i am interested to find out what opinions people have on them good or bad.. i also wondered whether people feel that cannabis should be legalised.
my opinion is that people in power shouldn't tell me what i can and can't do with my own body.

How old were you when you got baptised???
by digderidoo in.
i was 15, quite old compared to some.. a friends child has just got baptised at 13.....to think that she knows what she wants for the rest of her life at that age seems ludicrous.. so, who here got baptised at the youngest age?.

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of the Pax Americana
by digderidoo inthe link is an article in todays sunday times.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/printfriendly/0,,1-6047-645452,00.html.
with all the threads about anti and pro america with regards to the iraq war, i would be interested to see what posters think of this article, in particular those in the us.. post cold war, capitalism has spread throughout the world, this in itself is seen by some as a world empire.

If this is the best forum say 'I'!
by digderidoo insecond attempt to get thread up.. when i first joined this site, i seem to remember that there were many defectors from h2o coming over here, but this site was always the underdog.. i have just been to h2o for the first time in around 2 years, and to my astonishment, it is abysmal!!!!.
i have come to the realisations that this is the site for those seeking truth and knowledge.
this is the site for the xjw community.. so, if this is the best forum say 'i'.

Do you think x-JW's need a crutch?
by digderidoo ini have thought this for a while...that when you leave the org, it's as though a vaccuum needs to filled.
when i left i threw myself into politics, it was as if i needed something to do with my mind and thoughts.
this lasted about three years or so, but even now i drink more than perhaps i should, as though i can escape through drink.
