i want to start by saying i will not participate in discussion here about my resignation as a moderator at jwn.. simon please consider this as my resignation from that position.. i have been posting on this board for almost 12 years.
i know some of you a lot, others a little and some not very well at all.
i have remained here for those of you who have needed support as you make the transition out of the wts, who needed someone to listen to your experiences of abuse at the hands of jehovah's witnesses, and to both laugh and cry with you as you progress out of the watchtower society.. we know that we have all experienced the cruelty of abuse of one kind or another.

i want to practice christianity but i feel i can't just yet as i'll be 'outed' before i'm ready.
the spy network will report me to the elders, and that's it, i'm gone before i'm ready.
and before my husband is ready.. can one feel spiritually frustrated?
You don't need a religion to do that Julia. Why not start by reading the NT in another version to the WTBS one. That will give you lots to think on and pray about.

i'm new here but have been lurking here for a couple of months.
i am 3rd gen born in but have been inactive for a few years but always had the intention to make another go of the truth, but not now that i know ttatt.
i became inactive due to the inhumane treatment from family members who are elders.
Hello and welcome. Glad you found us.

No shame in making mistakes, we all do it, that's why they put erasers on pencils. We just need to learn from them.

i'd like to offer a public apology to nathan natas for making a wrong decision when i deleted him.. i allowed a combination of previous issues we'd had and input from other forum members to bias my decision which lead me to what i now, in hindsight, believe to have been a mistake.. whether you want to come back and post here or not i wanted to at least say sorry and will reactivate your account..
Welcome back Nathan. Good to see this sorted.

i've got an audience with a believing jw.
yes, i know he's not really listening.
i see all the usual signs of cognitive dissonance.
Start with the fact that they can't be the 'truth'. Jesus words are there in their own bibles. HE is the TRUTH.

i'm new here, so i thought i'd start with an introduction and summary of my life, for the most part.
i have a tendancy to ramble ridiculously, so bear with me :) and this will be all over the place as thoughts take over the keyboard.. i was born a 5th generation jw.
i never really "felt" it, but was book smart about it.
Hello and welcome SD. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that with your family, but glad to know you and your children are now free. Well done.
