how many here are (a) ex-jw, (b) non-jw with jw relatives or spouses, (c) inactive jw, or (d) active jw who stay in for your own reasons?.
Oh, I forgot to mention I got remarried on Valentine's Day. Immediate family really took a burn to that. Have to hand it to my Mom. Even though a diehard witness, she came to my wedding.

Got Df'd after leaving a intolerable marriage. Remarried a wonderful girl. Will be celebrating our 5th anniversary next Feb. I'm viewed by family still in as an "apostate" so most everyone I knew in 4 local congregations avoid me like the plague. I do enjoy watching them squirm when I see them Sat. morning in the donut shop "witnessing".
Having been in for 50 yrs. I always go back for the funeral talks of old " friends" & family. I especially enjoy the ones for the elders on the JC that kicked me out.
once when i was profoundly sad for too many days, my brother in law sent us a mix tape.
he named each song after a person in our family.
this is the one he named heather.
Ravel's Bolero
Led Zeppelin- Nobodys' Fault But Mine
Metallica- Hero of the Day
Johnny Cash- Stuck in Folsom Prison
Whitney Houston- I Will Always Love You
a few of my pet peeves were:.
the po/cobe knowing that he needed to have an elders meeting after the meeting but not telling any other elders.
humm, but his wife knew.
Having to put up with the assertive elders by playing politics. As a kid, we met at one elder's house for the "Babylon the Great" book study. ( Remember that gem?) He heated with wood. The house was at least 90 degrees at every study. He had a Volkswagon sedan we took out in service in the winter. Froze my ass right off. God, how I miss field service, meetings, committees, assemblies, the arrogance, the deceit, the fear.....
...i might drop in every now and then but i hope you all enjoy life, escape the watchtower(r) and live prosperous lives.. i can't say i contribute much here anyway (and i'm not attention seeking).. i'm just going to get on with life away from the constant reminder of the mistakes i made being a jw zombie drone.. i guess i'm just going to fade.......rather quickly.. of course i didn't need to make any posts here to disappear but i thought it'd be polite and very british to bid you all a fond farewell.. see you all sometime.....maybe.....maybe not.....maybe....... bye!.
ps.
don't pm me as i won't be checking the pms.. .
Goodbye Punk, as I always say "Live Well....Enjoy Life". I know you will.
i had two close friends in the org.
one is in her early thirties and got married last year and the other one is single and in her late twenties.
after reading coc, i couldn't help but feel sad at how ray and his wife felt regret at putting the religion first and not having any children.
I had a close friend who was a CO. His wife was the joy of his life. They, of course, never had children waiting patiently for paradise. When she died, he was inconsolable. It was unbearable to watch. He wasted away & died several years later. This sick cult is guilty of so many tragedies on so many levels.
"ours is the god of true prophecy, what he fortells comes to be".
i don't know if this song is in the new "scream at jehovah" songbook, but i always found this lyric odd even when i was in.
it seems to imply that there are many gods and not just one.. anyone else ever think that?.
I've been out over 5 yrs. & still have these tunes pop up from time to time. I still remember tunes from the little green songbook. Gotta play more AC/DC & Black Sabbath.
