Every Chandler dog bite accident has the potential to wreak havoc on the lives of the victims and their families. But when you are the parent of a child victim in an accident where a dog bite occurs, you'll find that there is more than just havoc in your life. It will seem that there is nothing that can quell the anger and frustration, and the fear that you feel over the pain that your child has experienced and will continue to experience.
When a dog bites your child you may feel or think that you have no recourse against the owner of the dog. Your primary concern is your child, their health, and their well-being, and you may not even be thinking about what the future holds. Fortunately for you and for your child, no matter how distracted you may be by your concern, you do have recourse against the owner of the dog that bit your child and changed their life forever. However you only have these rights if you act quickly on your child's behalf, reach out to the right people who can help you, and do whatever it takes to ensure the safety of the neighborhood, your child, and your family's future. If you are the parent of a child that was injured by a dog, it is also important to understand your rights and responsibilities, what may happen to your child, and where to go from the time of the injury moving forward.
Disfiguring bite injuries. Disfiguring bite injuries are common in dog bite accidents and impact hundreds of people throughout the United States every year, changing not only their lives, but also their appearances, permanently. When a dog attacks your child, there is a high likelihood that they will be bit on the face or other part of the head, arms, legs, neck, chest, hands, or feet, and any of these areas are susceptible to disfiguring injuries. For a child, a dog bite injury on any part of the body has a high risk of sustaining a serious disfiguring injury that may cause them significant harm.
The amount of disfigurement depends on the location and severity of the injury, and also the age of your child and how large their body parts are. With disfiguring injuries it is a very real possibility that your child will require multiple surgeries just to begin the corrective process, but that surgery may not ever completely repair the injury or make your child look the way they once did. These types of injuries forever change the life of your child because they are a constant reminder of the pain and suffering of the accident, and because they may be teased at school, and even be shut out from groups of friends, or from jobs that they may have held at a later point in life.
Another reason that disfiguring injuries are so serious for children is that they can impede the normal growth process and over time, your child may lose use of a limb or other body part due to these injuries. Unfortunately, there is no crystal ball to tell you or a doctor what the permanent damage may be. Only time will tell.
Losing the use of limbs and digits, or, losing digits or limbs all together. While losing limbs is a significant possibility in a dog bite injury, losing the use of a hand, of a digit, or of another part of the body is also a possibility. Some children have been paralyzed from the neck down and from the waist down in a bad dog attack incident. This is a very serious type of injury as it impacts your child's mobility for the rest of their lives. While surgery can help to increase mobility for your child, in the majority of cases, your child will face lifelong problems due to their injuries.
Internal injuries. Internal injuries are more than just possible, but probable, in a dog bite accident and can cause a significant amount of loss of blood within the body. Internal injuries are very common in dog attacks involving small children where the dog stomped on the child or bit their bodies. If your child fell down repeatedly while trying to get away from the dog, this could also have contributed to the development of internal injuries.
Unfortunately, internal injuries are not always readily apparent, and if your child does not exhibit symptoms, or does not have external injuries, you may be tempted to not take your child to the hospital. However, it is critical that whenever a dog attacks your child, that you take them to the emergency room immediately, as only a doctor can determine whether or not your child has sustained internal injuries. A visit to a doctor could be a life-saving measure that you never thought of.
Significant blood loss. When your child is involved in a dog bite accident, it is likely that they will suffer a significant amount of blood loss. Small children, unlike adults, are likely to sustain deeper wounds across a much larger portion of their bodies, making it more likely for them to lose more blood in this type of incident.
Depending on the severity of the injury, the depth of the bite, the location of the bite wound, and how long it takes for you to get your child to the hospital, they could lose a significant amount of blood. This will, in turn, result in your child requiring blood transfusions and other emergent care. Significant blood loss from a dog bite injury can also result in your child going into shock, and falling into a coma, or may even cause their death.
In addition to the above listed injuries there are many other types of injuries that occur in dog bite accidents, which is all the more reason for parents throughout Chandler and the state of Arizona to do everything possible to protect their children and the future of their families.
When your child is involved in a Chandler dog bite accident you may feel that your family is at a loss for having any recourse against the owner of the dog. However, you have more rights than you are aware of at this time that will provide you with the ability to seek recourse against the owner of the dog. In addition you may be able to seek out additional assistance from animal control. Animal control will take possession of the dog in question and hold it to ensure that it is not an aggressive dog and that it does not have any diseases that could cause serious harm or death to your child or others in the area.
The law will also help you to get recourse against the owner of the dog when you file a civil suit against that individual for your child's injuries and medical bills, including those that will occur in the future. In addition your family will be able to seek recompense and compensation in the settlement for your lost wages while caring for your child, and for other traumas that your child may face in the future, such as the inability to work and to lead a fruitful life.
After your child is involved in a dog bite accident you have the right to seek recompense from the dog owner for the damages caused to your family. However you also have responsibilities that you must attend to in order to ensure that your child's right and your rights are upheld. One of the most important things that you must do immediately after dog bite accident is to take your child to the hospital. Getting your child to the hospital not only ensures that your child will receive appropriate and timely medical care, especially if they sustained serious or life-threatening injuries, but it also ensures that you will have a record from a medical provider in the hospital showing that your child sustained serious injuries due to their encounter with the dog in question. Waiting several hours or days after a dog bite incident to get your child to the hospital could compromise your ability to seek compensation from the owner of the dog.
It is also your responsibility to notify animal control that there has been an incident with an aggressive dog. Contacting animal control ensures that the dog will be taken off the streets, and animal control can hold the owner of the dog responsible for their actions. If you do not notify animal control and the dog bites another child you could be held responsible for withholding information from the law.
After a bad Chandler dog bite accident in which your child is seriously injured, getting them to the doctor and getting in touch with animal control are obviously your top two priorities. However, you must also quickly shift gears and think about your family, and your future. And that means reaching out to a skilled Chandler personal injury lawyer. An attorney who is experienced in dealing with dog bite injury accidents can help you to gather all of the information and evidence you need to proceed with a legal case against the owner of the dog that bit your child. They will collect witness statements, information from animal control, records from the doctor, and other evidence to build a strong case that will help ensure you receive the compensation you need to put your family back together.
The Husband and Wife Law Team can help you fight for compensation to cover the wages you lost while caring for your child, all of your child's medical expenses at present and for the future, and additional compensation for pain and suffering felt by your child and by your family. Contact the Chandler dog bite attorneys at the Breyer Law Offices, P.C. for a free consultation to help you better understand your rights and responsibilities, and to determine whether you have a good case.

OMG, these look amazing. I have a recipe for vegan Thanksgiving green beans with lemons and pecans, but the miso and preserved lemons just send these over the top. I have a batch of lemons fermenting now. I cannot wait to make these. I hope your holiday was amazing. I think of you often, lovely lady.
On Thanksgiving I did add chopped almonds and the crunch was a great addition. I think of you too and look forward to connecting again!
Mmmmm, I’m coveting your lemon tree! I love preserved lemons and use them in all kinds of dishes but find they work particularly well with miso and honey.

O. T. #1175 "Excellent Name"
What is in a name? Have you researched the meaning of yours? Mine means "beautiful." I'm so sure that I can live up to that name, though. Only Christ ruling in me can make me worthy of it.
Read our key verse. Here God's name is translated Jehovah, who art our Sovereign Lord and Master.
When we compare our selves to God's greatness and majesty we realize our smallness. Our Creator is so much stronger and wise than we His creation is. In great authority He reigns over all the earth and us. When everything is put into the right perspective, we humble our self before the Savior.
One day Christ will come reign upon the earth as King of kings. One day there will be a new heaven and a new earth for us believers. Then all the hate, evil, and sinfulness will be gone. What a glorious time!
MacArthur says that LORD refers to Yahweh, while Lord refers to His sovereignty. Does God rule over us as our Sovereign Lord and Master of our life?
What is man that Thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that Thou visitest him?
Will you take time to read Romans 8:15-18. Believers are heirs of God, joint-heirs with Christ. The first Adam lost his position of ruling over creation in the Garden. The second Adam, Christ, has more than regained that ruling position since He became our Savior.
In verse 9, David proclaims the excellency of our LORD again.
Thank You Jesus for all You are to us, for all You give to us, and for all You do for us.
Glory to Your Excellent Name.
Dear friends, I have a prayer request again. My sister in law, Wanda, is in the hospital with congestive heart failure since Monday. Her heart valves are not functioning right, so her kidneys are not. It has been 5 years since she went through the same ordeal, but God brought her through. With God all things are possible, so we are trusting Him with her life.

If you are thinking of moving to Crake or just want to know a what the area is like, the statistics on this page should give you a good introduction. They cover a range of socio-economic factors so you can compare Crake to figures for Cumbria and nationally. These statistics can tell you if Crake is an economically deprived area and how hard it might be to get a job.
These statistics are for the highest level education obtained by the residents of Crake and are from the UK Census of 2011. Crake has a lower level of residents with either no qualifications or qualifications equal to 1 or more GCSE at grade D or below, than the national average. Crake also has a high level of residents with a higher education qualification (level 4) than the national average, suggesting that the residents of Crake are better educated than the average England citizen.
The population of Crake as a whole, is older than the national average. The population of Crake is also older than the Cumbria average, making Crake a older persons location.
The respondents of the 2011 Census were asked to rate their health. These are the results for Crake. The percentage of residents in Crake rating their health as 'very good' is less than the national average.
These figures for Country of Birth for the residents of Crake are from the UK Census of 2011. Since Crake has a higher level of residents born in the UK than the national average and a lower rate of residents either born in other EU countries or outside the EU, it does not have a significant immigrant population.
These figures on the claiming of benefits in Crake come from the Department for Work & Pensions and are dated . They can often be a good indicator of the prosperity of the town and possible indicator of how hard it would be to get employment in the area. The rate of unemployment in Crake is both lower than the average for Cumbria and lower than the national average, suggesting that finding a job in this area maybe easier than most places. The rate of claiming any benefit (which includes in work benefits) is more than 10% lower in Crake than the national average, suggesting higher salaries than the average in the area.

For the second consecutive year, Crown World Mobility is highlighting an increased focus on immigration compliance as a key industry trend.
Most of us know that immigration compliance requires heightened awareness of ever-changing laws, but now some countries are adding elements to their immigration requirements that are taking global mobility teams by surprise. This edition of Crown World Mobility’s Perspectives series will describe some of these surprising changes in immigration requirements and provide global mobility professionals with tips they can use to keep their programs compliant.

Great post, Melina. This is all stuff that shouldn't need saying, but, unfortunately, it does.
I particularly like your description of how to look receptive to being asked to dance. I've read too many blogs telling women to sit smiling all the time when not dancing. I think it's completely unnatural to try to maintain a fixed smile and will only put you under more strain. My own recommendation is to sip wine and get absorbed in the music -- then you'll naturally look less grumpy. Of course, if the music is bad -- well, you may look sour, but any good dancer will understand why!
Sadly, this is a very needed post in a lot of communities. I have seen women chased out of milongas by overzealous men.
But in my experience, it cuts both ways. Women are just as likely to ignore body language and common decency in their pursuit of in-demand dancers.
Women are generally free to say "no", and if anyone makes an issue of it, many people will rise to her defense. The same is not true for men. If a man says "no" to an unwelcome invitation to dance, he is likely to be chastised by anyone who witnesses it, even other men.
There are no gender barriers to unwelcome behavior.
Very well put Melina, I whole heartedly agree.
I have a question for you: Do you ever go to "work" at a milonga? Maybe in a city where you have not been before. Some might only come to the milonga because they know you are there! And have anxiously thought about it the whole day on how to ask you to dance.
You are totally correct. The same rules of polite behaviour apply to women. And I wholeheartedly encourage every man to say NO to a woman who ignores his "refusing" body language and invites him nevertheless.
I write from a woman's perspective, so I will focus more on women being "forced" to dance or not daring to refuse. But I have over the years met some very annoying women who have been actually stalking the good dancers without paying ANY attention to their needs. They should feel likewise addressed by this post.
I don't do pity dances. (Which is indeed a derogative expression.) When I am at a Milonga, I might do a demo as a part of my job. The rest of the time, I'm just a person. But I don't feel the obligation to dance with someone because he went to my class or because he's an organizer. I will refuse their invites in the same way as any other invite. I will dance with them, if I want to, and don't dance, if I don't want to.
In the Milonga, I usually do not explain my refusals. I am not there as a teacher, I am just a person. In rare occasions - when it is a real beginner asking e.g. - I will explain the use of Cabeceo & Mirada or my body-language. But usually I just say no.
I explain Cabeceo & Mirada or adequate interpretation of body language in my classes, and I write about this on my blog. At a Milonga, I am just another woman wanting or not wanting to dance with someone.
If I feel any obligation to WORK during a Milonga it is a more general work: representing what we teach and what I write about. I try to act according my believes and our philosophy. And in this case, it is even more important for me to refuse dances when I don't want to dance. How can I tell women to say NO, if I don't do it?
I will - in my next post - explain the reasons WHY and WHEN i want to dance and you'll see, that this has not so much to do with the fact, if someone is a super dancer or not. But more to this later.
Hi, Melina. Enjoyed the article. Mirada is not a term I have heard before (I live in Colorado). Can you explain what it means? Thanks, Cammie.
P.S. I tried to look it up, but could not find it.
Mirada is another term for the traditional invitation procedure. It means "the gaze", so basically "looking at someone".
Nowadays, Cabeceo is the more common name, but when we started to dance, Mirada was used in our communities, imported by a german Milonguero who spend much time in the traditional Milongas in BA.
Very concise assessment of the kind of behaviour both tangueros and tangueras should observe. It's just that in my experience, most tango communities can't be bothered.
As a beginner I'd prefer learning by doing with a website html template. But the guide that is given in this article is nice for the start.

The kids are gone, the house is paid for. You are ready for retirement. The question is whether keeping the house is the best idea. It’s a real retirement dilemma.
According to USA Today, as many as 46 percent of seniors aged 65 or older are deciding to rent a home rather than buy a new house or keep their previous one. There are pros and cons to each option.
For someone who already owns their own home with no mortgage payments, keeping the house might seem an obvious choice. According to the Motley Fool, this house can be used as a source of income in retirement through a line of credit or a reverse mortgage. This could be important if there is a sudden need for extra money.
On the other hand, annual upkeep eats up as much as 1 to 4 percent of the value of the house each year. These expenses can add up quickly on an older home. Then there are property taxes and homeowner’s insurance. It is also entirely possible that a housing market crash could erode the value of the home right when it is needed the most.
On the flip side, selling a home near or during retirement when the market is right could add a lot of cash flow and savings to draw from in the event of an emergency. The idea being, cash can be invested and might be worth more over time than the house’s appreciation.
Kiplinger’s took a look at several scenarios involving home ownership, selling, and renting. They wanted to decide which option made the most financial sense. The study determined that in the short run renting was the better choice. It also found that buying a new home was more profitable after ten years or more. Finally, they noted that it could be possible to pay yearly rent with interest gained from investing profits from the sale of a home.
Remember too, when considering this retirement dilemma, that this time of life is also about freedom. Separate from the financial aspects, renting a home could allow retirees to move around to different parts of the country. Renting can make travel easier than worrying about having to sell or maintain a house from a distance.

Yes, i know, Christmas was two weeks ago. But i have fond memories of my childhood, and celebrating Russian Christmas on January 7th. As a child i had the dubious pleasure of celebrating christmas on December 25th like everyone, and then again on January 7th when the Orthodox Church recognized christmas. It was a simple pleasure… often the best gifts came then because they were purchased in the “after christmas” sales… after December 25th.
We took the day off school, and spent the morning in church, and the afternoon having family and friends over for dinner, and celebration. Mom’s best bakery came out then, as did a lovely Ham. We feasted like kings, and enjoyed the distinction of a special day.
The Julian calendar was the calendar in predominant use in most of Europe from 45 BC until it was superseded by the Gregorian calendar commencing in 1582, although it continued to be used as the civil calendar in some countries into the 20th century. The Gregorian calendar has now replaced the Julian calendar as the civil calendar in all countries which formerly used it. Most Christian denominations in the West and areas evangelized by Western churches have also replaced it with the Gregorian calendar as the basis for their liturgical calendars. However, most branches of the Eastern Orthodox Church still use the Julian calendar for calculating the dates of moveable feasts, including Easter (Pascha). Some Orthodox churches have adopted the Revised Julian calendar for the observance of fixed feasts, while other Orthodox churches retain the Julian calendar for all purposes. The Julian calendar is still used by the Berber people of North Africa, and on Mount Athos.
It was a reform of the Roman calendar introduced by Julius Caesar in 46 BC (708 AUC) to commence in 45 BC (709 AUC). The calendar has a regular year of 365 days divided into 12 months, as listed in Table of months. A leap day is added to February every four years. The Julian year is, therefore, on average 365.25 days long.
The calendar year was intended to approximate the tropical (solar) year. Although Greek astronomers had known, at least sinceHipparchus, that the tropical year was a few minutes shorter than 365.25 days, the calendar did not compensate for this difference. As a result, the calendar year gained about three days every four centuries compared to observed equinox times and the seasons. This discrepancy was corrected by the Gregorian reform, introduced in 1582.

Asking for advice and feedback after leaving a controlling religion is normal- and healthy!
When we leave a controlling group we go through a process of self-discovery and enlightenment. It takes time. We move forward with our lives and establish our own belief system, new paradigms, and traditions in our own way.
Folks contact me asking for advice fairly often. Many want to vent and tell their story and that is a healthy thing to do. First off, there is nothing wrong with asking for advice or ideas or seeking a listening ear! It can be very therapeutic and if you feel like contacting me or any of the other great folks in the exJW community you should not be afraid or hesitate.
That said, sometimes when questions or advice is asked, and I receive a message, the person really wants affirmation and/or confirmation of what they are already doing. That is how the mind works. The emotional state that we find ourselves in after leaving the rigid structure of a fundamentalist group or cult like the Jehovah’s Witnesses or Scientology or Mormonism, etc. can be quite a difficult place to be.
The following video contains some simple ruminations on this topic- I hope it helps. If you wish to contact me, do so! Please use my email address at: JWStruggle@gmail.com. Reach out to those people that are positive and accessible in your life- this is how we heal and make new friends.
29 Comments on Former Jehovah’s Witnesses- Are you asking Questions? Do you need advice?
One of the many fears people face after years and years of mental manipulation is that of ‘what if I’m wrong’? ‘My eternal destruction or bliss is at stake’ etc.
As an agnostic I hope there is something to look forward to; for this I still hold out hope, but the scientific ‘Occam’s Razor’ reality is that NOTHING in the universe survives universal entropy.
It may be cold comfort, but this should encourage us to seize the day and enjoy what we have; not what we THINK we don’t have. In other words, live in the present, not in a future that could be a reality or not. And…think things through rather than be trapped by the paradigms of other humans who have knowledge no better than yours nor mine.
Hey frank, nice to be here, ….just got disfellowshipped, and the tons of bricks fell off my shoulders as i walked out of the door..
Lettin my goatee grow as we chat my new friend, i think all my new friends will like my new look, and attitude.
Cool. That’s what I did too. They didn’t understand the freethinking.
The truth is…its great. A grown person should make grown person decisions for himself, and not leave it up to others to do it for him, or her.
SEIZE THE DAY, ! ! ! !
I just gotta say that ever since i faded from the religion I have been much happier. I was drinking alot, taking anti depressants and eating alot. I am not drinking anymore, off of my meds and 130lbs lighter and much happier. i think all guys grow a goatee when we first leave but my gf likes it when I am clean shaven so I bounce here and there I like the feeling of not having to look over my shoulder. I find it funny when hypocritical JW’s avoid me though I was never DFD or reproved and they have been and get all “holier than though”. I also feel loved when those few sincere JW’s come to me and say hi and don’t ask stupid questions. All in all for those of us who have to leave in whatever manner/way for our own good it’s the best thing to do and for those of us who have to “stay in” for whatever reason, i wish you the best. We all think differently and have our own thoughts about religion, jesus/god/bible/creation/evolution etc. I like finding common ground with people and openly debating things and have learned quite a few new things in my time out. Best of luck to all those who have recently awakened to TTATT in whatever decision you take from this day forward.
Hi CM. I must admit, beyond the novelty of not wasting any more time at meetings, I cannot say I’ve EVER missed the ‘lifestyle’!
The only true thing one one can say about the ‘truth’ is as Peter Cook once said, “There’s not enough to feed the mind!” There is an intellectually-nourishing world out there, seize the day!
I agree with you…I don’t miss it at all. I like having weeknights to myself to go to the gym, rest, etc. And my weekends back to do whatever I want even just lay around and do nothing. I do wish that more people, not just JW’s would be more open minded in discovering what is out there and learn about science history and world religions and only then can they be convinced that they are doing truly makes them happy and feel true to themselves.
Kingdom hall daydreaming…..please tell me im not the only one, who while listening to the bwa bwa bwa bwa, discource had these? Scenario: terrorists enter the kingdom hall , its all up to you….CAPTAIN SAVE THE HALL, …..ha ha ha…….
Weird part now, is that im trying to save the rest of my family, from that SAME hall….
Yes , “Myriads on Myriads of Brothers” exist here and there all over the place ! Not just at their meetings . .
Those “kingdom songs” are mainly on a rather low level of spirituality . And the rhetoric from the talks and parts “on stage” aren’t any better . . . no matter how much exquisite speech is being performed .
My wife and I did “the fade” and never looked back. It’s healthy to speak with other ex-JWs who may have had similar experiences. I feel sorry for those that “wake up” and their mate/spouse does not. An excellent means of therapy is creating a YouTube channel and talking about your life as a JW. I use to have a YouTube channel called “wakeupwitness” years ago and I vented about certain thing. I closed that account and started a new one “jwnomo”, short for JW no more.
I agree its healthy,I left at 15 or 16,till now have I finally felt vindication after years,I’m not the only one!
Does anyone know about the watchtower taking over QSC Telecom.? I just barely found out about this.
They really do ruin peoples lives . They crushed mine because of their hypocrisy and NOT following the bible for plessure. They surley do not do what they preach.
Hi, I am an x jw of 15 years..I enjoy talking with others and helping some who need advice. How can I advise someone who is df’d , thinking of reinstatement so as not to lose her family & then eventually just fading away.? this person is married to a jw man & parents and siblings are jw also.
dear Eric: I grew a goatee like yours. But it had too many grey hairs. It did not look no way near as good as yours, so I shaved it off. But when it comes to being handsome, I still give you stiff compitition. Thank you for all that you have done for all of us. I am sure that I speak for all stugglers that we can’t thank you enough.To every one who is struggling.Each and every one of you has great mental, spiritual and emotional powers that our Grand Creater has given us. You must have an iron will, nerves of steel, balanced with a heart gold. You must see yourselves as survivers ,not as strugglers. Never forget that the LORD loves you and we love you too. p.s. Eric next time I hit the numbers I’ll send you some mean green to support the cause. I’m living right now, on bread and water. Because I ran out of food stamps (ebt). ha ha ha, This is a joke. Remember what the Scriptures say that the LORD is a happy God.
i am a former “born into” witness.i have serious anxiety and depression along with a serious confusion of which way to go spiritually and am still horribly intimidated by the witnesses even after 33 years out! where can I find an outlet to tell my story?
I Believe the Answers are always Simple.
MT 6:24 “No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other,or he will stick to the one and despise the other.
MT 10:37 He that has greater affection for father or mother than for me is not worthy of me; and he that has greater affection for son or daughter than for me is not worthy of me.
They Invoke “The Slave” more than JESUS. Keep quiet and JUST LISTEN. From the abundance of the heart speaks the mouth says Jesus.
When YOU ARE IN LOVE you do not want to hear anything bad.
JW’s think they have a Direct line to Jehovah and forget that NOBODY goes to the Father unless Jesus takes them.
thisus the most self centered victim crap I’ve ever heard. I’m disfellowshipped and have been for the last 16 years. I’m over that. It’s time to move on folks!
I was born into a family of Jehovah’s Witnesses and was once a very studious young member myself. However. the more I learned about the world around me from people who were not JWs, the more I knew that something wasn’t right. I felt awful for betraying everything I’ve known since infancy. By the time I was baptized at 18 I knew that there was enough doubt in my heart to make the commitment insincere, but I carried on for the sake of my family’s reputation.Now I am a young adult and I have completely detached myself from the religion, I no longer attend the meetings but I cant bring myself to tell my parents. It’s such a heavy secret to carry. i’m glad I was able to share this.
Hi, I just stumbled on your you tube video with Issac. I am so glad to know that there are real men like you guys who are supporting those leaving or who have left. I am disfellowshipped and I left. There were NO SUPPORT for us who pulled the life support system from out of our necks of this Matrix. I am here in Riverside and would like to know about the west coast meetups. I did not leave to get into drugs or to experience a wild life. I was getting so depressed from the pioneering, overgiving, major negativity this religion brings onto people and the constant meetings to keep you hemmed in and stay hemmed in!!!! I look forward to a reply. Looking forward to some REAL friends. Those who have common sense morals and have a foundation for truth as this world looses more of itself into oblivion.
I am new on here I was disfellowshipped about 10 years ago and I came back out of guilt while I was losing my Mom to cancer. I wrote my letter of dissociation about 2 years ago. This is a constant struggle. My depression comes and goes. My family has all disowned me with the exception of one sibling who left at 18, I really need to be able to talk to others who have these feelings. I was married to an abusive elder for many years. I was a 5th generation JW. I need help in staying strong. Are there any group meetings in the San Francisco Peninsula area? Please let me know I’m really having pain in my heart. I have lost my children to their JW father and all of my lifelong friends. I so appreciate any support I can get.
To date, the videos covering my judicial tribunal before three elders have been viewed over 60,000 times. The amount of minutes viewed is over 600,000 minutes, which is more than 10,000 hours of watch time. A huge number of comments have been received via YouTube commnents, email, and other methods. These have been overwhelmingly positive and continue to trickle in nearly every day. However the Watchtower defenders or “JW apologists” commenting on my YouTube channel are on the rise. They are doing this in direct disobedience to their Governing Body leaders. (See The Watchtower of July 15, 2011 page 16) This is actually quite encouraging to me, as it shows that people are thinking for themselves more and more, even if they are operating from a position of ignorance on some points.
Some of these rogue Jehovah’s Witnesses that are trying to defend “The Truth” are sincere. Unfortunately many of them are also bullheaded and arrogant in the way that they try and make their case.
For the last month or so the very anti-watchtower website “six screens of the watchtower” has had a special caller on their bi-monthly call show, a young man claiming to be from Bethel. He is allegedly calling from inside Bethel, is assigned to the IT department and was tasked with monitoring so-called “apostate websites” and other computer and internet related duties. He claims to have fake Facebook pages to gain information on Witnesses and dig up dirt on them, as well as many other secret ways to hack computers. At first when I heard him I was skeptical, but then began to think that perhaps he is on the level. Many of the things he has brought out shows he know a lot about the organization and the governing body too.

asking for advice and feedback after leaving a controlling religion is normal- and healthy!
when we leave a controlling group we go through a process of self-discovery and enlightenment. it takes time. we move forward with our lives and establish our own belief system, new paradigms, and traditions in our own way.
folks contact me asking for advice fairly often. many want to vent and tell their story and that is a healthy thing to do. first off, there is nothing wrong with asking for advice or ideas or seeking a listening ear! it can be very therapeutic and if you feel like contacting me or any of the other great folks in the exjw community you should not be afraid or hesitate.
that said, sometimes when questions or advice is asked, and i receive a message, the person really wants affirmation and/or confirmation of what they are already doing. that is how the mind works. the emotional state that we find ourselves in after leaving the rigid structure of a fundamentalist group or cult like the jehovah’s witnesses or scientology or mormonism, etc. can be quite a difficult place to be.
the following video contains some simple ruminations on this topic- i hope it helps. if you wish to contact me, do so! please use my email address at: jwstruggle@gmail.com. reach out to those people that are positive and accessible in your life- this is how we heal and make new friends.
29 comments on former jehovah’s witnesses- are you asking questions? do you need advice?
one of the many fears people face after years and years of mental manipulation is that of ‘what if i’m wrong’? ‘my eternal destruction or bliss is at stake’ etc.
as an agnostic i hope there is something to look forward to; for this i still hold out hope, but the scientific ‘occam’s razor’ reality is that nothing in the universe survives universal entropy.
it may be cold comfort, but this should encourage us to seize the day and enjoy what we have; not what we think we don’t have. in other words, live in the present, not in a future that could be a reality or not. and…think things through rather than be trapped by the paradigms of other humans who have knowledge no better than yours nor mine.
hey frank, nice to be here, ….just got disfellowshipped, and the tons of bricks fell off my shoulders as i walked out of the door..
lettin my goatee grow as we chat my new friend, i think all my new friends will like my new look, and attitude.
cool. that’s what i did too. they didn’t understand the freethinking.
the truth is…its great. a grown person should make grown person decisions for himself, and not leave it up to others to do it for him, or her.
seize the day, ! ! ! !
i just gotta say that ever since i faded from the religion i have been much happier. i was drinking alot, taking anti depressants and eating alot. i am not drinking anymore, off of my meds and 130lbs lighter and much happier. i think all guys grow a goatee when we first leave but my gf likes it when i am clean shaven so i bounce here and there i like the feeling of not having to look over my shoulder. i find it funny when hypocritical jw’s avoid me though i was never dfd or reproved and they have been and get all “holier than though”. i also feel loved when those few sincere jw’s come to me and say hi and don’t ask stupid questions. all in all for those of us who have to leave in whatever manner/way for our own good it’s the best thing to do and for those of us who have to “stay in” for whatever reason, i wish you the best. we all think differently and have our own thoughts about religion, jesus/god/bible/creation/evolution etc. i like finding common ground with people and openly debating things and have learned quite a few new things in my time out. best of luck to all those who have recently awakened to ttatt in whatever decision you take from this day forward.
hi cm. i must admit, beyond the novelty of not wasting any more time at meetings, i cannot say i’ve ever missed the ‘lifestyle’!
the only true thing one one can say about the ‘truth’ is as peter cook once said, “there’s not enough to feed the mind!” there is an intellectually-nourishing world out there, seize the day!
i agree with you…i don’t miss it at all. i like having weeknights to myself to go to the gym, rest, etc. and my weekends back to do whatever i want even just lay around and do nothing. i do wish that more people, not just jw’s would be more open minded in discovering what is out there and learn about science history and world religions and only then can they be convinced that they are doing truly makes them happy and feel true to themselves.
kingdom hall daydreaming…..please tell me im not the only one, who while listening to the bwa bwa bwa bwa, discource had these? scenario: terrorists enter the kingdom hall , its all up to you….captain save the hall, …..ha ha ha…….
weird part now, is that im trying to save the rest of my family, from that same hall….
yes , “myriads on myriads of brothers” exist here and there all over the place ! not just at their meetings . .
those “kingdom songs” are mainly on a rather low level of spirituality . and the rhetoric from the talks and parts “on stage” aren’t any better . . . no matter how much exquisite speech is being performed .
my wife and i did “the fade” and never looked back. it’s healthy to speak with other ex-jws who may have had similar experiences. i feel sorry for those that “wake up” and their mate/spouse does not. an excellent means of therapy is creating a youtube channel and talking about your life as a jw. i use to have a youtube channel called “wakeupwitness” years ago and i vented about certain thing. i closed that account and started a new one “jwnomo”, short for jw no more.
i agree its healthy,i left at 15 or 16,till now have i finally felt vindication after years,i’m not the only one!
does anyone know about the watchtower taking over qsc telecom.? i just barely found out about this.
they really do ruin peoples lives . they crushed mine because of their hypocrisy and not following the bible for plessure. they surley do not do what they preach.
hi, i am an x jw of 15 years..i enjoy talking with others and helping some who need advice. how can i advise someone who is df’d , thinking of reinstatement so as not to lose her family & then eventually just fading away.? this person is married to a jw man & parents and siblings are jw also.
dear eric: i grew a goatee like yours. but it had too many grey hairs. it did not look no way near as good as yours, so i shaved it off. but when it comes to being handsome, i still give you stiff compitition. thank you for all that you have done for all of us. i am sure that i speak for all stugglers that we can’t thank you enough.to every one who is struggling.each and every one of you has great mental, spiritual and emotional powers that our grand creater has given us. you must have an iron will, nerves of steel, balanced with a heart gold. you must see yourselves as survivers ,not as strugglers. never forget that the lord loves you and we love you too. p.s. eric next time i hit the numbers i’ll send you some mean green to support the cause. i’m living right now, on bread and water. because i ran out of food stamps (ebt). ha ha ha, this is a joke. remember what the scriptures say that the lord is a happy god.
i am a former “born into” witness.i have serious anxiety and depression along with a serious confusion of which way to go spiritually and am still horribly intimidated by the witnesses even after 33 years out! where can i find an outlet to tell my story?
i believe the answers are always simple.
mt 6:24 “no one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other,or he will stick to the one and despise the other.
mt 10:37 he that has greater affection for father or mother than for me is not worthy of me; and he that has greater affection for son or daughter than for me is not worthy of me.
they invoke “the slave” more than jesus. keep quiet and just listen. from the abundance of the heart speaks the mouth says jesus.
when you are in love you do not want to hear anything bad.
jw’s think they have a direct line to jehovah and forget that nobody goes to the father unless jesus takes them.
thisus the most self centered victim crap i’ve ever heard. i’m disfellowshipped and have been for the last 16 years. i’m over that. it’s time to move on folks!
i was born into a family of jehovah’s witnesses and was once a very studious young member myself. however. the more i learned about the world around me from people who were not jws, the more i knew that something wasn’t right. i felt awful for betraying everything i’ve known since infancy. by the time i was baptized at 18 i knew that there was enough doubt in my heart to make the commitment insincere, but i carried on for the sake of my family’s reputation.now i am a young adult and i have completely detached myself from the religion, i no longer attend the meetings but i cant bring myself to tell my parents. it’s such a heavy secret to carry. i’m glad i was able to share this.
hi, i just stumbled on your you tube video with issac. i am so glad to know that there are real men like you guys who are supporting those leaving or who have left. i am disfellowshipped and i left. there were no support for us who pulled the life support system from out of our necks of this matrix. i am here in riverside and would like to know about the west coast meetups. i did not leave to get into drugs or to experience a wild life. i was getting so depressed from the pioneering, overgiving, major negativity this religion brings onto people and the constant meetings to keep you hemmed in and stay hemmed in!!!! i look forward to a reply. looking forward to some real friends. those who have common sense morals and have a foundation for truth as this world looses more of itself into oblivion.
i am new on here i was disfellowshipped about 10 years ago and i came back out of guilt while i was losing my mom to cancer. i wrote my letter of dissociation about 2 years ago. this is a constant struggle. my depression comes and goes. my family has all disowned me with the exception of one sibling who left at 18, i really need to be able to talk to others who have these feelings. i was married to an abusive elder for many years. i was a 5th generation jw. i need help in staying strong. are there any group meetings in the san francisco peninsula area? please let me know i’m really having pain in my heart. i have lost my children to their jw father and all of my lifelong friends. i so appreciate any support i can get.
