i decided to put an end to my affiliation with the jws for good.
this decision is not the result of an irrational impulse.
it is quite the contrary.
Esmeralda,
I have struggled with relating my experiences (of 32yrs.) On this forum, so didn't. You have written it for me. I went cold turkey in April.
Live your life now how you want. You come across as a strong person.
It's not possible to have a healthy relationship with an indoctrinated person.
This is so true sparrowdown.

hello people.. i'm tired and a bit sick at the moment but i can't let anyone think that this is going to go away.... i am able to tell you a few things in order to prevent any confusion in the minds of those who are thinking that nothing will come of this arc;that nothing will effect the wtbts in america and other places.. i have been there and given my testimony.
helen milroy and her assistants were there along with another group of people who are there to lend assistance if you crack up at any time during or after the hearing.
i did not crack up but can see how this happens.. security is tight and anonymity is sacred to them as they want to protect all who come forward.
Dear sweet Umberto your dignity in the face of this is motivating. The actions of the scumbags (not even going to dignify them with a title) cements my decision to fade stronger!
Please be assured that this report from the ARC is having repercussions here in the UK. I'm aware first hand that there is dissent/arguements about lack of direction from the platform/a study quitting when they found out/elder's wife speaking confidently amongst r&f about this terrible situation. I've walked. My 33yr old baptised child is on the verge of DA.
In my family the reputation of JW's leave a lot to be desired
my study conductor lectured me about my attitude this morning!!!!
apparently some sister complained to her that my attitude was irritating.
the sister in question is just bothered by the fact that i ignore her along with her four daughters.
i was listening to beyond belief yesterday, a radio 4 programme that treats religious ideas as worthy of consideration and discussion.
yesterday they were talking about belief in the afterlife.
they mentioned something i'd never heard of before.
Slim, thanks.
Diogensister, if you have BBC iplayer you can catchup on that.
" the opposite of knowledge is love".
the rebel.. i believe a poster named " cofty" once replied to my great thought " the opposite of knowlege is love" with the comment :-.
" bollocks" .
Hi Rebel,
I would add the opposite of knowledge is ignorance......whether through choice or circumstances.
The opposite of love is indifference. Hate is a destructive emotion.
You didn't deserve "bollocks" as a response.
I wouldn't like any association with WBTS on my grave stone. 32yrs association was enough thank you very much.
i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.
i don't.. could we have a "show of hands" from any uk members?
i've already found several by reading older posts..
how many people have seen a person leave and return multiple times?
out of curiosity, what was the number?
hi,.
i am a former member of a congregation in central scotland, wondered if there were any others from that area?.
