Hello from NW USA
by Haulin Oats inhey there, gang.. i'm haulin oats.
i came to full awareness recently after finding a work-mate who also had "seen the light" finally.. i was born/raised a jw, having made some pretty big sacrifices in the name of the organization, even moving to where the need was greater before the start of high school.
needless to say, small mid-west farm towns don't look too highly on jw's.

I feel so alone here...
by Pams girl inthanks to all who helped me escape my imminemt baptism after 6 years of study.
it was a close call.. ive clearly been labelled spirituallly weak, as nobody has called here to say hi or anything and its been 2 monthes now....their divine justice for me i guess.
i did see my study teacher a while back when she dropped off my memorial invite, and that was after a chat, nothing to do with the wbts...seemed like it was an afterthought on her part.. they all know about my problems with agoraphobia and panic.

by chasson inin 2002, i had seen an auction on ebay concerning few documents on charles taze russell owning a gold mine in 1916. i had saved the webpage, and believing that it was a knowned issue i didn't care more about it.. .

De-Conversion: Where are you?
by NomadSoul ini thought i shared this post made on http://de-conversion.com.. i'm in #6. indifferent.. .
a person de-converts.... 1) loss.
de-convert feels extremely sad, a sense of loss and remorse, struggling to cope with a worldview without a personal deity.

New Light @ The 2011 District Convention
by dontplaceliterature in" at the bottom of the image on the back of the invitation raises some eyebrows, but last night in the routine district convention article during the service meeting, i caught that one of the paragraphs mentioned that we would be encouraged to keep a copy of the tract in hand for a discussion during sunday's last talk.
my guess is, there is going to be some new revelation about what the "?
" represents, or some other fangled idea.
