QUESTION: What religion are you in now? ...
by terafera inthis got me to thinking.... now that most of us have left the wts, i notice some have taken other belief systems.
some have come to a peace with their own ideas.. my question is are you involved with another religion?

JWs & DF'd ones doing business together
by roybatty ini recall reading a wt article from the 1980s regarding how dfd and dad ones should be treated.
a portion of this article dealt with having business dealings with someone who is dfd.
if i remember correctly, the society encouraged the reader to, if possible, get out of any type of business partnership with someone who is dfd and not to have any business dealings with these ones.

Precious Things
by individuals wife ini was feeling very low today as i realised it is now nearly six years since my wonderful father passed away.
he was only 42 and meant so much to me, i still think about him every day, and it still hurts so much that i cant just pick up the phone and talk to him, pop over to his house with cream cakes or just sit down by the sea and talk over my problems with him.. the jws are responsible for making my grief just that little bit worse, when i was studying with them they told me to get rid of anything in the house that would be displeasing to god, in my desire to do what was required of me i searched through the house, got rid of some bible literature and some other little odds and ends.... also my cruxifix.
i now regret that so much, it was one of the only things that my father ever gave to me just from him, not from my mother also.. how i regret that now, if only i could turn the clock back and stop myself, i was so eager to do what i was told, to make sure i was in a good standing with god.

Why Do They Bother?
by Stephanus inon another thread, i was struck with a thought.
someone mentioned how brainwashed the r&f were to accept the drivel pumped out of bethel and it suddenly dawned on me that the 'tower and the awake!
and all the other literature are irrelevant.

Hi everyone....
by Jeremy Bravo inas i sit in front of my computer in a drunken stupor wondering what might have been, i felt i had to post my story to those who might truly understand what i am going through.. i am a newbie here, but have been lurking around for the last few weeks.
i am 25 years old, from ontario, and totally heartbroken.. to give you some background, back in 1998, i studied with the witnesses because some friends of mine, whom i believe to be honest and sincere people, gave me (i thought at the time) some good advice to start a book study.
i did, and i really enjoyed it because i felt they presented everything factually and had a strong interpretation of the scriptures (i'm a facts man, you see).
