Posting reunion photo soon with my granddaughter
by Nancy K indear friends, i am relatively 'new' on this website, but i have been posting about not being allowed to see my granddaughter and the 'shunning' thing..i was just going to start a court proceding(my husband is an attorney)to try and get visitation, then my dad passed away..many of you wrote to me and showered me with much needed support.
thru my dad's 'passing', i had to contact my daughter and we had a long 'talk' and she wasn't 'shunning' me after all..my sister, who is a "double-life" witness told my daughter some terrible lies about me which were ridiculous, and my daughter at that time was being treated for depression, so she didn't know what to think(as my sister is a witness, and she naturally assumed she was being truthful)..i have a damaged neurological system from 8 months of very high-dose chemo, at times i use a cane, i have chronic pain, etc.,but it is all from my illness..my sister was telling my daughter i was on drugs, and yes i am on medication, but not medication that gets one 'high', this is medication i must be on for life.
so, thru my dad's passing, a miracle has happened, after 2 years of missing my granddaughter, in a few weeks i will be spending an entire weekend with her and my grandson whom i haven't seen, so my daughter and her husband can have some 'alone' time!!

elders want to visit
by buffalosrfree ini've been back in town now for about six months, finally the elders want to visit me.
what a bunch of bull but they have my wife convinced they just want to come and encourage me.
she has told them all the things i no longer believe in and that i ain't interested in being stupid anymore, but they still blow the bull by her.

Why did I fall away from the truth???
by JNS2 inno, i don't think it is the "truth" any more, but for 22 years i did.
that is what makes this so very difficult to come to grips with, admitting that i wasted all that time as a mindless drone.
(borg) anyway, i've been trying to analyze why i have fallen away.

The Pain of my Daughter
by LeslieV inmy oldest daughter wrote this to her father to show her pain of his choosing his religion over her.
of course, once he read the letter he told her he has just choosen jehovah.
she wanted me to share this with all of you, and especially if there are any jw's that are lurking on this board, to show what a child feels when religion is more important than your children.. dear daddy;.

Officially Disassociated Tonight
by Princess insteve and i attended our very last meeting this evening.
i wrote a thread a few weeks ago about our elder visit and their decision to announce that we were disassociated.
they agreed to wait until we returned from our vacation so i could tell my grandma who still attends via phone link and so she wouldn't have to be alone in her devastation.

Female Subjugation
by out4good3 ini'm aware of many couples where the man, usually the breadwinner, can no longer tolerate following the wt party line anymore.
i myself am the only breadwinner in my family and although my wife works hard to appear as the staunch jw, i never berate or hold it against her in any way as do most other men i know in similar situations.
she knows how i feel about the wt so she almost never asks my opinion on soceity related matters.. but, what of the couples where it is the woman whose fallen away but finds herself totally dependent upon her staunch jw husband for support?.

Questions for Ex-Elders
by Yizuman injust out of curiousity,.
but since you now know the troof and are out.. how many ex-elders have hunted down members that have personally brought them to the so called "truth" and apologized for misleading them into a false religion and knows now it is a cult?.
if any had done so, what were their reactions?.
