Wowzers Brock .......good on ya!

So proud of your tenacity.........glad you took the bull by the horns & produced another one.

If books & stories like yours were on the market when I first woke up, I never would have been still stuck in...thinking it was me, thinking I was to blame for my lack of faith!

Wishing you all the best as always..

Becoming officially inactive

i don't want to turn in my token time anymore.

it's only a few hours counting what we do with the kids.

i don't want it counted for their skewed statistics- or to just for the sake of doing it.

All for show ....welcome to jwn.

It is amazing, when I look back, at how fearful I was to stop 'reporting'.

I just phoned 'bookstudy' person & said I wouldn't be handing in hours anymore as I was ill.....and if & when I do......I will call him !

I nevr did call.

Maybe you could just stick a watchtower mag in back window of your car & count the time it actually rides around with you. I hear a few pioneers do that ......ha hah..

all the best

Interview With an Apostate by Village Idiot

by Village Idiot in

tell us a little about yourself and your family.

got myself in at age 13. one day i saw a leaflet on my door about babylon the great condemned by god and thats all it took.

i mailed a letter to the congregation listed on the flyer requesting a book study.

Hello Village glad you joined us, great to have you here.

Oh ya that feeling of betrayal when finding out that it was all lies, was awful........ still angry about it too.

Life does go on and it does get better & much more real & fulfilling.

You have a good life ahead of you my friend ......don't waste a second more of it.

Hello ...welcome to jwn, hang in there because it is a roller coaster ride for sure!

One step at a time .....no Armageddon to worry about now.

wishing you all the best

Jehovah's Witnesses activity game - Dressing and Undressing Children

by jwleaks in

with all the jehovah's witnesses child abuse scandals being reported on by the media around the world at the moment what were the governing body of jehovah's witnesses thinking?.

The problem that I have with it, is that, it will accustom a jw child to the game of 'taking off clothes', an activity that a paedophlile could zero in on!

As a child, my paper dolls were not promoted by a cult who has many child abusers in it as well as a 'two witness' rule!

No longer an MS! Hooray...finally!

by stuckinarut2 in

well, it's finally happened!.

im no longer an ms.. as many would know from our chats via this forum, i've seen it coming for a while....and while the way it was done stinks, i'm really happy to finally be free!.

(would love to share more details...i will do in time...or perhaps a pm would be best).

To be let down by your so called "brothers" is a shock no doubt......you are human. Thinking they were standing beside you as you pushed yourself as an elder to show them & god how dedicated you were, is quite a let-down now.... take care of yourself Stuck, cry a few tears & go out and live a great life!

all the best
