Hello Everyone!

I´m soooooooooo glad you guys created this place,THANK YOU!

I have been lurking on JWN for years, never joined because I´m still a believer and I have seen what happens to those who still believe.

None of you "knows" me but I feel like I know most of you
O, I´m just so happy I finally can join you all.

NAMBO SAID

Hi and welcome Lisa

It was many years before I joined JWN for the same reasons you state, whenever I did look at it, it seemed very hostile to JWs that still wanted to believe in God, it must surely turn away a lot of JWs from the help they could have got, after all, surely most people in a religion actually do want a relationship with God?

Whereabouts in Sweden are you?
I have a fleshly sister who I visit most years in Kungsbacka, I didnt know of her existence until my Father informed me about 15 years ago, and then what a surprise to find we had both independently found our way into the JWs.

AGUEST SAID

Greetings, dear Lisa AND Nambo... WELCOME... and peace to you, both! I am so glad to hear that a forum like this is welcomed by others! Please note that it is not our intention to limit discussion to matters of believe but only to make it a bit calmer/safer (from hostility) for those who might to wish to discuss such things (as I do).

Please... make yourself t'home: there's tea, crumpets, scones, cake, and sandwiches about and those who have them may stop by and offer them. If so, help yourself - LOL!

Again, welcome... thank you... and peace to you!

Nambo, thank you for your reply,It´s sad isn´t it,that a handfull of agressive posters keep the more moderate ones from joining. I was thrilled when Tammy wrote about this place and have been keeping a close watch on JWN to see if the adress would be posted there.As soon as I read the adress I joined Amazing story about your sister, did you meet her and is she still in? I have sent you a PM.

Shelby, Thank you for welcoming me. If only you knew how often I have been praying for you when the wolves ganged up on you. Please forgive me that I never stepped in to help you,I should have but I didn´t feel strong enough to even become a member let alone take up a discussion with them.
You see, first there were the JW´s bullying me what to believe and what to do and now I dont need a group of ex JW´s bullying me around,I just want to walk with my Lord in peace.

Lots of love,

Lisa

LISA SAID

Nambo, sorry, I can see you visit your sister in Sweden.

Welcome Lisa

I'm so glad you feel like you CAN post on here. Really, one of the main purposes of this forum was to try to provide a safe(r) place for people who feel as you do, to post.

Peace to you,
tammy

AGUEST SAID

Don't you worry about a thing, dear Lisa (again, peace to you!). I'm just glad that you feel "safe" enough to post here! All I can say is "Amen!" to your comment:



That's what we're hoping to provide, dear one! Unfortunately, some just don't see that they interfere with that. Or maybe they do!

Again, welcome and peace to you!

Tammy and Shelby, thank you. I´m so glad that there now finally is a place where I feel I can fit in.

GLADIATOR SAID

Lisa, Glad to see you on the forum. This board is designed to be an enjoyable and tolerant forum where people can discuss their beliefs or opinions in an adult way without being ridiculed or abused.

After the Watchtower Society experience we need such a place to explore and grow. You sound as though you will fit in well and be happy here.

Be seeing you around…

LOZ SAID


Hello Lisa and welcome! I too love the premise of this forum that we can still be free to be believers outside the WTBS.

COCO SAID

May you find peace and rest here as well as answers to your questions ...

Funny, we thought all our questions had been answered!

Or is that all our answers were questioned?!?!?

I get so confused at times!

Love,

CoCo

CLEARLIGHT SAID


Hello, Lisa. I have a feeling that after the initial "gathering together", this forum will begin to take form. Glad you're here and looking forward to sharing thoughts and discussions with you.
