my wife and i stopped going to meetings in 1988 and da'd in 1989. for a few years we both actively participated in the xjw world, she quit doing that a long time ago, and has pretty much completely moved on.
the other night i told her about my planned blog (which will probably launch this weekend) it will mostly be about my writing, a lot of which is mostly about jw related issues.
she asked why i am still so drawn to this subject.
Firstly, I am moved by Blondie's post, and can relate. I am still involved with domestic violence helping others to escape and recover despite being years free of it and now in a wonderful 'normal' marriage. I've only been here 3 years, but I can't forget how invaluable the support was here for me. How much it helped me to recover and heal. I am not needy here nowadays, but can't not help others leaving the WTBS to freedom. If Simon and Angharad had taken the other view, so many of us would've had nowhere to go. Keep up your good work.

yesterday i had the duty of care to take our feline companion of 20 years to the vet to be euthanized.. i took a tin of his fav tuna and gave him a last meal at the vets to settle him as the needle and medication did its work.. he died peacefully and in no pain.
my wife and i buried him in the garden next to a another older moggie.. i had the duty to email this sad news to the family who have largely grown up with him.. i sat in my back room and cried bitterly.
i will miss him terribley and his head rubbs him checking on me once i was in bed and all his ways.. sleep well..... time for another cry..
That's so sad for you and the family Zeb. Sounds like your friend had a really good life with you all and a lovely peaceful ending.

hello all.. my name is dteve and i live in the uk.
i hope i can make genuine friends here and not pretend friends.....like that among jw's.. i left, went back, and have left again, but this time it is for good.
so i tried to work things out, but she carried on.
Hello and welcome to the forum!

i think it's fitting for my very first post to be a thread on jw.net turning myself in to any lurking elders out there on a witch-hunt to cleanse the congregation so that god's choosen ones can "remain in god's love.
" so i'm sorry to all you awesome, truthful apostates on this site, but this thread is really intended for any lurking nazis -- i mean, the taliban -- ugh, i mean elders of the world's most "loving" cult religion.. i am an apostate.
here, i'll save you the trouble:.
Hello and welcome brave lady.

the top cardinal of britian has resigned, cardinal keith o'brien, the archbishop of edinburgh, has given notice amid accusations by three priests that he made 'inappropriate contact' with them.
he will not be able to vote in the upcoming selection of the new pope.
the current pope has accepted his resignation.. like cardinal mahoney of the los angeles archdiocese, cardinal o'brien will be allowed to 'retire' receiving a nice pension and home paid for by hard working catholics.
Earlier I watched The Magdalene Sisters, it was heartbreaking and indefensible. What people do in the name of religion just makes me weep.

good morning jwn-land.. since my parents and my husband and i have learned ttatt we have been keeping quiet, mostly.
we have held off on revealing our true names, my dad has held off joining jwn and telling his story because we have been waiting for one special event.
my dad talking to his mother about ttatt.
Sorry I'm late to the thread, it's so encouraging to hear you supporting each other as you come to grips with TTATT. I'm sorry to hear about Grandma and the way she's treated you all. Sounds like the damage to your family is less than it could have been, so thats a plus. Im glad the forum support is a help. Stay strong.

Isn't that about eunuchs and abstinence Slimboyfat? As opposed to married women restricting their family?

I'm just wondering where in the 'gospel' (good news) is contraception considered wrong?
