How many have gotten interested in Human Services, Charity, Social Justice, Social Work and the like after awakening to Watchtower aberrance?
by Fernando inwhilst under watchtower influence i had little interest or awareness in these areas.. now they have become a passion.. i wonder if it has something to do with the "cult identity or self" versus the "authentic identity or self" as outlined by steven hassan in the "interacting with dual identities" chapter of his book "releasing the bonds - empowering people to think for themselves".. who has had a similar experience and/or change of career related to unplugging from the watchtower?.
or a story to tell?.

My son was murdered today
by truman ini have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

Animosity Toward Inactive Ones
by EmptyInside ini don't understand why many witnesses are cold toward inactive ones.
aren't they supposed to want to help them and encourage them?.
i know of a young woman,i've known forever,who married a non-witness,and hasn't been to the meetings for awhile.

I've not seen them for four years - elder puts Memorial invite on my door
by truthseeker ini just came back from shopping, was about to pull up in the driveway and noticed an elder from my old hall and his young child working the territory.. i waited till they left and parked.
i noticed i was the only one who got a memorial invite, none of my neighbors got one.
so they weren't working the territory but stopped by to give me an invite.

Territories, and Boundary Changes...Such a Confidential and Top Secret
by Quarterback ini can recall awhile ago when some of the elder's wives weer talking and hinting that the boundaries were being changed in our city.
this affected 4 congregations.
my faimily was shocked when we found out from a sister in another congregation whose husband in not even in the faith.. apparently she is in the gossip group.. how sad, that they won't tell you what the proposed territories would be like, and allow some discussions on it.

Are there many non-English apostate forums???
by diamondiiz inmost of us here, are from english speaking countries and we can see many waking up to the truth in our areas, but how are people doing in other countries?
are there forums like this one in other languages and does anyone know if the foreign speaking "apostates" are also associating together in similar manner as we are able to?
just wondering if we have a much bigger advantage over non-english speaking witnesses in learning he truth about the troof..

How Do You Approach New Friendships Now?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inmost of the website vistors and members have experience the wonderful conditional love (if not, why are you here?
), by the followers of the watchtower society.
feel the love "that no other organization or group of men and women have experienced" or was it elusive during your tour of the religion?
