Tort Law and Disfellowshipping
by journey-on inlike most of you, i inwardly seethe at the practice of disfellowshipping and the shunning that follows.
i wish i could find a way to hold the wtb&ts legally responsible for what results from this heinous practice.
the more i read about the psychological and emotional pain that is perpetrated on those who are shunned by friends and family after having been raised a jehovah's witness, the more i am convinced that there has to be a way to sue for these damages.

Are You Happy With What you've discovered in Life After being a JW ?
by flipper inmy life personally has taken a much more positive turn after leaving the religion.

Is your non dub partner/spouse curious?
by samiam2b inafter hearing all about my life and experiences as a jw, my non-jw spouse was curious.
that is how she found this site and how i found it.
the doctrinal crap really pisses her off, especially because of what it does to families.. i did have a family member who was molested many years ago but do not know the details nor the outcome.

Has anyone found dating as an EX JW difficult?
by sweetstuff injust curious as to what difficulties have faced people dating as an ex jw.
myself, i have noticed the glazed over look in a guy's eyes when you try to explain why your family doesn't celebrate the holidays with you etc.
new to this board, so if this has been well covered before, please forgive me.

Do you have any assembly memories/stories?
by RisingEagle inon an earlier thread about ice cream i remembered a snack that was sold at assemblies and that started me thinking about some of my memories of childhood at conventions/assemblies.
i guess it was the taste/smell association because even today when i go to various convention halls for home improvement expos, car shows and the like it takes me right back to the past.
i have many memories wrapped around the conventions and experienced different things because i have lots of elders in the family that were used, literally, for food service, the accounting office, security and dramas.
