Hey Nowman. I was at that convention at Hawthorne. Ran out of milk and only mothers with children and children could get any.
We sat behind those big glass panels and I remember the original DQ was there and open.
That was a yucky part of town I thought.

i was wondering how common it is for ex-jws to relocate after leaving the borg in order to escape the bad memories of being in a cult, or to break contact with cult members.. i have wanted to move far away for as long as i can remember--even as a kid--for this purpose.
various life circumstances have delayed that--long story--but mr. rebel8 and i are thinking of moving within the next few years.
i am the one who's most interested in moving to a completely different type of place--different culture, different climate, different everything!
Being raised a jw in the same area I grew up in, married in and divorced in it was the best for me to get away from the whole jw thing.
I went to the bank, gave them the keys to the house, went to a lawyer and declared bankruptcy, packed everything I owned in a 28ft U-haul, towed my car and moved from Indiana to South Carolina.
I was dfed the following Thursday, for exposing a con artist brother.
I spent 3 years here trying to be reinstated, only to be told no. Last 3 years I have loved my life away from all the visible reminders of the local jw family who dfed me. It was a small city, everyone knew everyone.......wish I had left the area years ago.
When my appeal was denied I told all the elders, whom we all came into the truth at the same time in the 70's........I told them they were all motherfu**ers, and evil men......and left.
At the appeal I was told that my language would determine if I was ever to be reinstated.....When I left the appeal they went out to watch me leave to make sure I did not kill myself. Such love.
So yes, I moved, and am never going back to the state nor the jw's.

would you still be a jw if you had not been disfellowshipped?

Well the abuse took place in 1973 during the Chicago International Convention. My mom started studying in the spring and so this was our first ever convention.
The brothers fiance was on the convention, she was a regular pioneer.
It happened on the way home, on a bus full of witnesses for 4 hours. I never moved, never said anything. Then when we got to the KH onto a van to go back to our town he managed to set beside me and it continued. I was so naive...and in shock.
It was in the following December I approached the only elder and told him about it. The end result was he was privately reproved and I was put on a years restriction from no socializing with the other girls. It was so unfair. And the warning was given to not tell anyone, nor my dad as he would kill the guy. The 'brother' tells me afterwards that 'I was a mature girl'. And he appreciated me speaking up.
Then him and the sister were married, her not told of his behaviour of playing with little girls. Years later they divorced. I was in the town her parents lived many years later and just told the father what had happened back in 1973, and his only reply was, 'well you were the first of many'.
The sister remarried, but the 2 sons they had were never right. They too had been abused.
Just before I was dfed I found out he had been dfed and was reinstated and had married another 'sister'.
It urks me to no end how a person tries their whole life to do things Jehovahs way and get kicked out by a group of men......and others, just do things over and over and keep on smiling.
And this experience is only a small part of the jw adventure.

My story? I was baptized in 1974, disfellowshipped in 2000. Before I was baptized I was molested by a 'brother'. Married a JW brother, he was a fake brother. Divorced from him after 16 years. Later the 'brother' I was dfed for is/was well known online and was a con artist, apostate, and every terrible word you can think of. The sister he married after 'us' took her 2.5 years to get her marriage annulled from him. He is a member of this board and if there was a burning hell he deserves much worse than that punishment. Among us who he mislead and abused, we refer to him as the president of the little dick club. Not much of a man, let alone a JW.
I suppose if I was never dfed, I would still be in.....just not active. I am in the not sure group. Things I cling to as a hope, yet so many lies, and liars.....and justice is rare.
I hope to live life as I feel and what happens will happen. Dying does not bother me at all, nor does living.
i have heard this is so.
i'd like to aks your observations here.
