shepherds of the flock...not
by searchfothetruth injust reading 'in search of christian freedom' and come across this quote which seems to hit the nail on the head regarding the genuine love among the elders.:.
" whilst serving as an elder in the warrenton, virginia congregation, i went with the presiding overseer to investigate an alleged indiscretion reported by telephone from the elders of a neighboring congregation about an elderly, inactive, widowed sister, living in yet another congregations territory, taking care of a comatose old lady for her livelihood.. when we arrived, he questioned the sister about her supposed indiscretion ( the charge was based purely on conjecture ).
her reply was, "it has been over seven years since my husbands death.

Hello....
by Anne ini've been lurking in this site for about a week now.
i didn't know something like this existed or else i may have come sooner.
i'm a bit selfish for making this my first post, but i'd like to introduce myself and get some feedback if possible.. my parent's became jehovah's witnesses when i was eight years old, so i was for the most part "raised in the truth".

my son's birthday celebrated
by BLISSISIGNORANCE injust a short post to say that i feel really happy today.
my 19 yo son has had his birthday acknowledged and celebrated today for the first time in 13 years.. and it feels good for me as his mother to remind him every year, on the day he came into the world, that i consider from that day on, the best days of my life.
i cried as i wrote his card, thinking of all the wasted time in the borg, but now is the time to move on and start enjoying freedom.. so i just wanted to share this with people who i'm sure understand and share in the joy.. cheers,.

Omaha area - suicide?
by asleif_dufansdottir ini don't know if it's ok to post names on this board, but i've been trying to find out about this for some months and can't (i don't have any 'connections' who are still in).. i heard a very well-known sister (beautiful, wealthy, pioneer, good-looking husband, parts on assemblies) from my old circuit committed suicide some time back.. anybody know anything about it?
i always admired and, honestly, really envied her, although i didn't know her personally.
i'm very curious.

Yet another simimilar story.
by enlightened ini was told about this site from family members that have all survived/overcome being jw's.
i must admit it is wonderful and so disturbing at the same time, to read all of these stories.
it's amazing what a religion/cult can do to you, first by embracing you then completely consuming you.

WoMD ... so where are they?
by Simon innow, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!
perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.
now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.
