I also moved out my family home and into an apartment. The move was a refreshing new start, but I had my mum with me it was an emotional time and good to have her there. She has never been a witness. Thanks for your story.

Moving out after the borg
by happy@last ini was delighted to hear of adjustments news, but it did remind me of what i'm sure a lot go through when they leave, here's a little of my story:.
when i married as a jw, and when we moved there was always a team of willing volunteers happy to drive the van or move the furniture or decorate.
additonally when you get married you have a list of items people want to buy for you, even if some had odd taste we received lots of needed and wanted items, sometimes 2 or 3 of the same type.. as a da'd person, also seperated from my spouse i needed to move home.

The Elders help
by punkofnice ina young jw i used to know (nice person), said within earshot to a non df'd ex jw he knew that his "..parents are up and down in the relationship and the elders(tm) are going to help.".
the non df'd ex jw said to me that he considered that after the elders(tm) get involved his parents were bound to split up.
the non df'd ex jw also commented: "what do elders know?

Reading the Watchtower and Awake! is like getting a college education!

I remember hearing it, but I don't remember reading it in print but I read that much rubbish I could have. I was actually convinced that it was equivalent to higher education, thankfully now I am awake and can critically think and see the basci language and concepts in WT literature that make it very simple indeed.

Mental Disorders among JW's
by Blackfalcon98 inhi everyone, im begining to notice patterns of mental issues in the congregations and among the witnesses as a group.
do you think this is a trend in the entire world or is it exagerated in this organization?.

Yes I think being in a cult causes depresssion. As a JW we were always pushed to do more and not getting enough rest. I am sure this messes with the brain and can cause depression. Stress can cause other mental disorders too, JWs are always stressed.

I agree they masquerade as a charity but don't ever give money to the needy. Just funnel it into projects like Temple Farm UK. Kate xx

This is a huge property development plan for a charity to be taking on. It just shows how financially corrupt they are. WT are just a property development company. Kate xx

My kids are my world to me. Life is like a pie chart full of different things we fill our life with and children can be one of those segments. At the moment you want more than can fit in your pie chart. You need to decide what is more important to you a career of family, most women struggle to balance both unless they had kids young, I was at uni when my daughter was 2yrs old. I could have a flourishing career now if it wasn't for packing it in for pioneering.
