  hi... i am new and after nearly 20 years after being disassociated at 15 i would like to make contact with others who have similar difficulties.

  my mother was disfellowshipped shortly after my rebellion and had all ties with both her mother and brother cut and that remains the case.. just really hacked off with not being able to put things in the proper place in my life after all these years.

  for the record i don't know if i believe in god but am searching for some peace as i seem to self destruct on a regular basis.. any ideas anyone?.

  Oh Perry, that is so awful for you. We've just experienced this from non-jw family. Not as close as your mum. But it's cruel to those who experience this, and it's too late to do anything. I really feel for you man.

  666 Jehovah Witnesses in Iceland

  by disillusioned 2 in

  just came across this news article and thought you all might like to see it.

  quite funny.. figures on registration in icelands religious institutions have yielded some interesting results.. visir recently compiled data that they requested from the national registry on the numbers of people registered with different religious institutions in iceland.

  unsurprisingly, the largest number of registrants belonged to the national church; some 240,395 icelanders out of the total population of 331,244 belong to the church, either by voluntary registration or from being autoregistered at birth.. where other religious institutions are concerned, one of the more interesting data points is that there are exactly 666 registered members of the jehovahs witnesses in iceland..

  been reading for about 2 and a half years, thought i would take the plunge and sign up.. my circumstances... i live in uk, serving as ms. i am fully awake.

  i can not leave due to family, so just treating the meetings as a bit of a social club.

  i would like to give out more details, but i think you all know the drill.. complete disillusionment and i suppose natural curiosity woke me up.. don't know what else to say right now, just hello, and i hope to get to know some of you guys better.

  The Witnesses Are Really Trying Hard To Get Me Back In

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at my mom's bed side all i see is either jw family or friends making a concerted effort to have me return to their fold.

  evidentlyy, my mom has encouraged this and i'm a trapped prisoner, as they do their best to have me come back.

  it's bad enough that i have to endure my mom's dying, now i have to be bombarded with this bs..

  Good idea using delaying tactics. Then when it's all over ( sorry). RUN FOR THE HILLS.

  November 2015 Awake

  by username in

  2. beliefs

  ok. when i first looked at the cover of this issue of awake i was instantly struck on how creepy it looked.

  my first impressions were the picture looked almost masonic in nature.

  well, further investigation has led me to another picture that shows a grand masonic hall.

  What am I meant to be looking at? First picture circular object looks like a clock. Zooming in confirms it. Circular object is masonic symbolism in picture 2.

  i very seldom receive a call from my jw siblings, i mean seldom.

  i can count them on my hand in past 10 years.

  I've just had a text from an elder's wife. Telling me "all have been instructed to attend sunday meeting because there's going to be an extremely important announcement that could mean my life". Ooooh err missus. She's a lovely lady, but totally uberdub.
