finally got the nerve
by livingagain ini have been reading posts here for several months, which has helped me to keep from going insane.
my doubts came when i finally got the nerve to leave a bad marriage, why did i stay so long.
because i was ashamed and really scared of what "jehovah" would think of me.

Birthday Today!
by livingagain inposted this in jw news and events but meant to post it here.. please read and give your comments.
i have been on this new job for the past 10 months and when i went there i was still a loyal jw and told them i did not celebrate holidays and birthdays.
being a wt slave for the past 27 years just recently (4/5 months) took off the physical chains but still have the mental shackles on to a degree.

Friends
by livingagain ini was in a car acident about 9 months ago and the lawyer handling my case sent me a form today to list my friends who could state what my condition was before the accident and after.
problem with that is i was a jw for close to 30 years and have been fading for about a year.
i couldn't get them to do that unless i made a come back to the meetings and i am too glad to be free to ever go back.

Comments?Elders Visit Again
by livingagain inabout 2/3 weeks ago the elders came to visit.
got rid of them pretty much didn't expect to see them again because i told them i was moving in a couple of months.i didn't plan on talking too much to them as i was studying for a test.
anyway it ended up being a long visit.

Ray Franz, DF DA & non JW's Salvation
by livingagain inif someone disassociated themselves from the watchtower society due to research that convinced them that the watchtower was erroneous on many issues and yet still felt convinced that jehovah is much more gracious with regards to salvation than what we learned through the watchtower, is it possible for such a one to get reinstated, even if they did not believe numerous things that the watchtower teaches?
but is this possible if someone still does not believe that certain doctrines the watchtower teaches are bible based (i.e.
: 1914, blood transfusions, disfellowshipping, etc)?

Celebration of Life
by livingagain ini went to a funeral in a church this past weekend.
the first time i have been in a church in 27 years, because of fear instilled by the wtbs.
this was a dear friend of mine, she was well liked, many, many people at the funeral.
