just this morning she told me on the phone from her hospital bed that we will have to learn her diagnosis through the grapevine.. she wasn't always like this.

why do ex-jw's talk so much....
by bittersweet inso my husband ( who is a baptised witness who no longer attends meetings and pretty much doesn't believe any more ) asked me last night why do so many ex-jw's feel the need to keep talking about the religion even when they have been out of it for years.
i told him that in my case i still talk about it because i feel i lost so much of my life to them and i am still upset about it.
also that many people have lost families and livlihoods, etc.

Describes how most of us feel
by Kobe in<!-- @page { margin: 2cm } p { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } --> .
for you of those who are unfamiliar of what a messianic hebrew is, a messianic hebrew strives to restore the hebrew roots of our faith, not following the words of man but only the words of god.
a messianic accepts yeshua as the messiah, which most people in the world refer to him a jesus.

Were you Stalked or Chased After Once you Exited the JW's by Elders ?
by flipper ini tried to fade off the map by moving 30 miles initially in 2004 after i exited in late 2003 .
the first several years they didn't bother me.
i ran into a elder from my former congregation in late 2005 in an antique store - he tried telling me i was wrong for stopping attending meetings.
