Repulsed by the thought
by serendipity inyesterday, i was cleaning out the dark recesses of my purse and found the blood card.
i was going to throw it away but stopped.
after doing some research on blood in the bible, i no longer believe in the jw blood doctrine.

I'm coming out on my blog.
by Abandoned inno, i'm not talking about being gay, although if i was, i'd come out about that too.
no, i'm talking about coming public about having been a jw and explaining why i feel the jw is a dangerous cult.. now, i don't have a huge readership on my blog, but i've never talked about my jw past to anyone outside of that organization or this board.
i would love to hear any advice from those who have been out and successfully dealing with the mental and emotional abuse that the jw poured out.

Help needed
by return visitor inin reading coc i learned that prior to the 1980's it was ok to speak with disassociated witnesses and that this was changed in the 1980's.
while i can find the article in the 80's that addresses the issue, i can't find anything that shows that it is a change.
can anyone direct me to something published by the organization that reflects their teaching before the change?.

My Ex is suicidal, apparently
by dmouse insome of you might remember my story from years ago - how i became an 'apostate' which effectively ended my marriage of 20 years.
how my wife subjected me to intense psychological abuse when i left 'the truth'.. my son ben, whom i love deeply, left when he was dragged into the back room and told he was being used by satan to corrupt the congregation (he was only15) because he was gay.. my dearest middle daughter charlotte, who has more common sense than all of us put together, 'left' on her 14th birthday.
she was dragged out of the house in her bare feet to be taken to the meeting, and because i intervened i spent the next year on a camp bed in the front room.. in the end, i could not stand the abuse and left.

The Best One-liners for Witnesses
by gordon d inwhat have been the most effective reasons that you've given to the people that you love for why you're no longer a witness?
considering that most dubs have the attention span of a 2 year old for anything from an a-prostate, please be consise and succint with your answers.
just trying to plant some seeds of reasoning.... maybe in-depth discussions with those folks will come at a later time.

Talking to a DF'd sister...
by SoBizzy ini am not df'd and have not da'd, just faded the last six years - anyway i was remembering a time when i was about 18 or 19 and a very good friend that i had grown up with was df'd for fornication - well she was finally coming back to the hall to get reinstated and i hadn't seen or spoken to her for more than a year - so when she showed up at the hall one night i told my mom i was going to say hi!
remember, she was still df'd - my mom said i shouldn't and i told her i don't care - i had missed my friend and wanted to just say hi!
i said to my friend - "i just wanted to say that i missed you and happy to see you back!
