Pondering the Flood...
by 2pink inthis is only my second thread here on this forum, so forgive me if i put this on the wrong board.. i'm a jw on the way out....past few years and esp past few months of thinking have pretty much sealed the deal for me.
i'm done.. so anyway, as i allow myself to think more and more and question more and more of the bible, something i have always wondered about is the flood.
did god regret doing that, hence the rainbow promise??

Fading fast and not sure how to proceed with the JW relatives...
by 2pink infirstly, my apologies for all the posts i've written over the past few weeks asking for help with all the issues that come with leaving the wt.
i realize i am all "take" and no "give" at this point, but i'll pay it forward at some later date, i promise!
so, as the title of this thread suggests, i'm fading fast....more disappearing than fading really.

Advice about writing a letter to my relatives
by 2pink inmy husband and i left almost 2 years ago, and were quickly dubbed apostate and didn't refute it...since then we have had zero contact with either of our families (aside from one of my sisters and one of my aunts).
i think it's taken this long for me to come to terms with that...we both came from large families with extended relatives ...all jws.
something that i need to do for me is write a letter...it will be a pretty generic form letter, but anyway i want to draft and send a letter to those that i truly care about.

Got "THE letter" ....how to proceed?
by 2pink inmy husband and i faded/mysteriously disappeared from meetings over a year ago.
we've had a few visits from elders (where we said very little but thanked them for their time), the last one being when we had some nice jack o lanterns sitting on our porch.
on saturday, we got letters cordially inviting us to our beheading, i mean, our judicial committee meeting.

Need advice on Christmas/Birthday gifts
by 2pink inbeing newly out of the jws, and being a born in, i have never celebrated a holiday or birthday.
as the holiday season approaches, i need some advice on who i should buy gifts for and who i shouldn't.
our families are all jws, so they are automatically excluded.
