Welcome Captain! Your description of what you are going through sounds like me....so many of us feeling the same things. Posting is Hard/Weird at first, but it gets easier and you'll find it to be very theraputic! Look forward to reading more of your experiences as a former elder. Take care bro!

From my Oubliette ....
by Oubliette in.
from my place of forgetting, and out of my utter despair and loneliness, i tap out my pathetic message desperately hoping that there is someone, anyone that might possibly hear ... .

This is a great place to post a 'vent' or a cry for help...although all we are able to do is throw out a cyber hug. You can be sure that the people behind these posts are caring people that have and will continue to feel lonliness and emotional issues from learning 'the truth about the truth' as you are feeling.
I hope you will feel better soon!

Well crap...I had already asked Larsinger to remember me when he gets into his kingdom. But now since you are the true Christ, I will ask you: Shirely..please remember me when you get into your kingdom.

Welcome!! Glad to have someone that was so connected to the borg! Looking forward to more of your experiences...great first post about learning TTATT. You must have been an elder to have given talks at DCs. How did you step down from Eldership?

How do I tell my husband?
by dissonance_resolved ini'm a born in, baptized as a young teenager, whole family is jw.
i just recently woke up after the new understanding of the fds was announced and it seemed to me to smack of power-grabbing.
i started looking at all the websites we're not supposed to, and now i know why.

Real quick suggestion, gotta type fast wife is coming down soon..ahhh. I am in the same situation. Trying to tell my wife slowly and carefully that it's all BS. One thing I am working on is trying to slyly get her to watch 'Religulous' a documentary by Bill Mahr (not sure of spelling) a political comedian. Watching it not as a slam against JWs but how "crazy" the worlds religions are...hoping that will get her to think about her own religion. Some very good points are made....shows how goofy religion is. Would like to compose a better post but I'm typing fast....it's on Netflix

tyydyy (TimB) is my cousin

I hope you find your cousin Jeremiah....I also hope that ID'ing him as your cousin doesn't 'out' him if he is still flying under the radar. If that concerns you maybe ask a Mod. to move this to the private section.
I can definitely understand the feeling of finding a post and realizing it's a family member too....it's happened to me on this board. Still haven't brought it to his attn yet though. Nervous on how to approach it.
Take care

DUI Defendant Tries to Place Awake With My Prosecutor Daughter
by Justitia Themis inyep.
you read the title correctly.. my daughter is a prosecutor who right this moment is prosecuting a dui crash with major injuries.
the defendant--the drunk driver--just tried to place an awake magazine with her while both of them were in the courtroom.. .

Thanks Justitia...great XJW success story for both of you. Can't believe how an elder could say that to your face....well I take that back, unfortunately I can believe it. Passive aggressive weaklings is a good description.

Wow...what a Dip-$hit. Thanks for sharing.
That's so cool that your daughters a prosecutor...just curious, were you already fading when she decided to go to college to become an attourney? Did you get flack from the elders?
