First, I would like to say I understand. Second, it will get worse before it gets better because you will become an "instant" enemy to everything that is Jehovah's Witness (except for Jehovah himself. However, you may be able to show your children a fuller life closer to God. I have learned more about Jehovah and real truth than I ever thought possible. The True God created us to be all we are capable of being. To do less is not respecting His gift of life. I never saw that in the WT. In fact, it was discouraged and learning how to deal with "the world" was like learning how to handle snakes. That's NOT the way it's supposed to be. We are supposed to learn how to exercise our choice to become stronger and closer to God.....or not while living our individual lives. We have the right to choose, but the consequences are not optional. WT doesn't teach how to do that at all. And preach as they might, they DO NOT take care of each other or "shore up the weak." I sympathize with what your going through, but it's your decision. I'm just getting over all the feelings of rejection and anger when I was just protecting myself from someone that had a documented plan to kill me (they wanted more proof than three witnesses that were "wordly") and tried to follow through. I read somewhere that there is more mental illness in the WT than any other religion. That I believe. You have my prayers. Make some heartfelt prayers yourself to Jehovah to light your intended path (if your willing). Might be a lot different than you think after the bumps and bruises heal and you may find yourself closer to HIM than you ever thought possible. Ask Him for a clear path, and pray for an open mind and heart to hear His message and act upon it.

I feel like I am going crazy at times ...
by CovertsadJW ingood evening , .
i feel like i am going crazy - it’s so hard not being able to talk to the ones i love about how i really feel - meaning the “ truth “ is a big lie and a big waste of time.
it’s so weird - i can’t talk to my wife , or kids about how i really feel and it’s causing me probalms that i recognize.

I see they are still doing what they do and protecting the criminal rather than the victim. Very, very common. A child is not considered "a witness." The abuser would either have to confess to the crime or there would have to be TWO witnesses (physical proof means nothing if the abuser denies it).

The book burning has started
by pale.emperor indon't know if this is a global thing but i've just been told by a pimo member of my old congregation that a min servant has been given the task of destroying all old books/literature in the kh library prior to 1992.. could be the elders (or even one of them) on a mission to stamp out dissent as my ex-wife used the same reasoning to her elder dad that i used in my jc: rutherfords books containing failed predictions.. anyone else heared anything?.
the ms who's been given the task is a company man.
no hope of him keeping them or selling them on ebay.. they have some russell books in that library too.

This has been done over the years.....I was at that convention that announced 1975 would be the end. A lot of literature "disappears" when the predictions don't actually happen.
