  in the image you can see what jw wrote about how galileo was treated by the catholic church.

  now they are disfelloshipping me because i believe the earth is flat.

  is this coherent?.

  March 2004 disfellowshipped a year later.

  Haysbridge assembly hall is the venue.

  I was so excited. I thought as i came out of the water I was going to feel the holy spirit and a new found connection with Jehovah.

  I came out of the water extremley underwhelmed.

  Just peeking in for a bit...

  by Jidders in

  i rather apprehensively would like to say hello.. i've been raised somewhat in the truth,one of my parents is rather rather strong in the beliefs but could honestly be considered pomi with how active they are and their side of the family comes from a line of witnesses, the other parent was but faded a long time ago.

  as such i was taught quite a bit of jw teachings between family and off and on again bible studies.

  recently i had a serious emotional break down over a few months after said pomi parent had advised me that they would not attend my wedding should that day come (i also had recieved a text from my bible teacher i hadnt heard from in a year or two giving a scripture) and it sorta all sank on me that my activity over the last few years was not really jw material.

  Welcome to the forum. As said above there is a search function, but if you cant find what your looking for or even just need to get something off your chest feel free to let it all out here.

  You will be amazed how many people are going through or have been through the same.

  most every night, where i work i transport dead persons to the morgue.

  others i work with have told me that around 3:00am they hear voices in the morgue.. i asked them have they experienced something more than physical life?

  just the voices inside the cold morgue.

  I have PTSD and in the days when i suffered with it badly i had flashbacks and saw things I can swear where real. Obviously I know they werent there. But even in my memory to this day it still seemed real. The mind is powerful and convincing.

  Anti vaccines

  by blisterfeet in

  2. experiences

  i personally feel that vaccinations are beneficial.

  there has been a modern movement that vaccinations are more harmful than beneficial to which i disagree.

  what is your stance as an ex jw on vaccinating your children?

  have you ever heard of a jw minor getting disfellowshipped and their parents then throwing them out of home?

  i know of 1, 14yr old, df'd for smoking and the very same night it was annoced his mother kicked him out of the family home on to the streets!.

  unsurprisingly as an adult he's never returned to his mother or the wt .

  I was 17 when i was disfellowshipped and made homeless.

  It was announced on the Tuesday and that evening my dad sent a message via one of my sisters that I better have left the house by the time they get back from the meeting.

  I never looked back.

  Is Being a “Manly Man” a Bad Thing?

  so much is said regarding men , in a negative way.

  shaving commercials are now lecturing us as to how bad we really are.

  men should be less masculine.
