So Are You As Good As It Pleases You To Be?
by Englishman inlets assume that some time has now gone by since you made that final decision to stop associating with jws.
you are now your own person, the worlds your oyster, let the good times roll!.
still there seems to be a hole in your life, an emotional gap as it were, a feeling of loss that borders on depression.. whats happening, of course, is that despite your decision to bale out of wt ways, the old patterns of thinking are still hanging in there and influencing your life.

Getting married....any advise?
by Uni girl ini'm getting married in a few weeks to the man that was disfellowshipped with me for 'committing adultery in our hearts".
we have been together for 5 years and have a wonderful and warm relationship, no fear or guilt.
the only blimp on the horizon is his family, some of whom are maniacs when it comes to the letter of the law.

new, nowhere to turn, ashamed & afraid
by azzazel inhullo everybody i'm new here, even though i've been lurking now for several months.. i have to say how afraid i am to post, afraid and ashamed but i feel if i dont tell my story, i honestly dont know what may happen to me or my children if they lose me, right now i feel like i've got nowhere left to turn and have my doubts about this place as well.. i know my story will shock you but i cant keep it in any longer.
i am recently disfellowshipped for immorality, the subject of a kingdom hall witch -hunt and subsequent congregational humiliation, .
during the process of the judicial committee meetings and proceedings no consideration was given to my real human circumstances nor to the spirit of survival nor human nature nor that of a mother seeking to protect her children from lack of basic fundamentals such as food, shelter and clothing.

Goodbye and i want to say thanks
by nogs inthis is my farewell message.
i just want to say thanks to the number of people who i have spoken to and share stories with, i thought i was the only one who left for the reasons i did but i have met many and they have strenghened me in my life course now, basically i had never looked up witnesses before and was thinking about returning to the borg when i found this site, you all made me see that it would be like going backwards.
i feel strong now and will be not returning to this site, mainly as i want to let the past stay in the past, wts is the past and while i keep re-hashing it it will always affect my life.. thanks all.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO GET INVOLVED??
by nogs inwhy do we have top get involved in the fight between god and satan?.
why can't we just opt out like we do in the fights between the nations?.
i never chose to be on satans side or on jehovahs side although if i had to chose i would chose gods side.. even though they seems to be the same amount of killing innocents on both sides.. it seems like we are pawns, disposible.. im sorry guys but i have always wondered this, have you???.

What about those who commit suicide???
by nogs inthe wts say that those who commit suicide commit a grave act toward god and will be everlastingly cut-off.
where does that idea come from and where is the compassion of ones when the person just could not go on living anymore????.
i felt like ending it alot of times, the jws made me feel ugly, stupid and unworthy individual, i lost all my confidence and never felt that anyone would want to marry me as i was so flawed.

Scribes and pharisee question to Jesus???????
by nogs inwell i think everyone will know this one, remember the scriptures when the scribes and pharisee's tricked questioned jesus on resurrection???
the wife of a man who had seven brothers and whom died and married all of them until she died herself whom would she be the wife of in the ressurrection and jesus said that they would be no marrying of the ressurrected ones.
one day when i was on the ministry with an elders wife and we talked about and her thoughts were that when the earth was finally filled then they would be no need for marriage and having sex etc as the earth would be filled and children wouldn't be needed anymore and then man and woman would live as brothers and sisters platonic, noone has ever explaned the scripture properly to me and if that was going to be what it was like to live forver with no marriage than i'm glad im going to die at armaggeddon!!!.
