Wondering if any of you might know a Kim Tongsun (last name might not be spelled correctly). She used to go to Central k.h. in Chicago and we've lost touch. Not sure if she's still in or not - she was disfellowshipped when last I heard and would love to reconnect with her (if she's not still in the soul crushing, mind raping JW group). Any info would be appreciated!

I know the original post was a while ago but can I just say how pathetic the person that posted this is. First, if you are a "true Witness", why are you on here? Could it be that somewhere deep down in your repressed little world, you actually DOUBT that this is the "Truth" and are just too afaid to make changes.
I'm curious - have you grown up in "the truth" like I did? Were you fed poisonious lies since before you can remember? Are you old enough to have your own children yet? If so, are you feeding them the same tripe that you were fed - we don't "do" birthdays b/c of "scary beheadings" and no mention of them in the Bible?!
What if your child is lying in a hospital bed, looking impossibly small and the ONLY option is a blood transfusion? This is not some infant that doesn't talk and you can stuff down more emotion that they'll be happier in the "new system" - this is a living, breathing, talking, loving, amazing 5+ year old that looks into your eyes and ask WHY? Why can't I live? Are you seriously prepared to tell that child, that adores you, b/c there might be a fairy tale far away land called " the new system" or "the new Order" or whatever craptastic name they're calling it and we'll frolic like fairies there so you should die now?
If you belive that crap, go live it. But don't pick on individuals who have had the integrity and strength of moral and mental character to not be afraid to question and stand up for what doesn't feel right!

Please welcome my sister!
by mjarka911 inalthough she has posted once here herself (ange 2.0), i would like to introduce everyone to my sister ange.
up until a week ago, i had not spoken to her for 5+ years after i da'd.
we are both 3rd generation with hard core parents (just hard core attitudes, not hard core jw activity).

Thank you so much big brother! And thank you all for the warm welcomes! I feel like I can breathe for the first time in years - I am so at peace with my decision and the happiest and most hopeful I have been in years!
Matt's support and love over these last few weeks have made ALL the difference and I am so grateful that he's been here for me considering how I blindly shunned him for the last six years - I cringe at the thought but look forward to renewing our relationship! And my beautiful Eli is now getting to know an uncle that he never knew! Life is great.
Thank you all so much for the warm welcomes. I look forward to meeting everyone at the meetup!

Hi,
I have just gotten out and am free at last! My brother did so a few years ago and has been such an amazing help to me these last few weeks. I was raised a JW, disfellowshipped when I was 17, married a non believer and then dragged back in by my family. Here's the thing - I was 17 when I was disfellowshipped and we had just moved from the only city I'd ever known to the South. As soon as I was DF, the wailing of my parents began immediately. I wanted nothing to do with it then but that wasn't an option with my parents.
So I ran away and stayed with friends from high school for a few months. No family would talk to me - and to boot I'd moved back to where I was from and had no family - just some friends I barely knew b/c I wasn't ever allowed to have friends that weren't Witnesses in h.s. Married someone just so I could have a place to stay really and he and I have a beautiful son. We've both had doubts all these years but were too afraid to say anything until this past week when I worked up the courage to talk to him. We are now both leaving, getting divorced and have never gotten along better in our lives. Feels good to say all of these things out loud.
The tipping point for me was the last few years when my son wanted to "do birthdays" or Christmas or anything and I had to tell him no. And then thinking if anything ever happened, I was supposed to refuse to give him blood to save his life on the off chance that there may be a "new system" No THANK YOU!
I know it will be hard and emotional (still have parents and sisters that are in that I love dearly) but I am so glad to be free! Do feel like I"ve wasted 29 years of my life but at least my son won't have to worry about this crap!
