1st post from a former S.O! (page 5)

If you have not read "Crisis of Conscience" or "In Search of Christian Freedom" by former Governing Body member Ray Franz I highly recommend them both. Those books helped me a great deal when I left Jehovah's Witnesses.

Welcome! I like your idea of being spiritual. :-)

Hey Onesong!

Great to read a post like yours. I'm really excited for you as i went through the same thing about 4 years ago. Becoming spiritually awake all of sudden like that is such an amazing experience. Hope things go great for you from here on!

Cheers

Being spiritual to me involves self awareness, self discovery and self improvement. I believe in the importance of meditation, knowing yourself and trying to better yourself as a person. And I accomplish this with a sense of morality all the while being an atheist. :) Welcome to the boards.

Welcome onesong, I learned long ago that the elders done mind you asking questions as long as you don't question their answers. Stick around, you'll learn a lot here.

Welcome! Sorry about all that pain; the family, the divorce.... I get the feeling that you've trivialised it a bit there, but if you're actually just a fast healer, well good for you!

Welcome

To be spiritual is more important then religious.

I too, was raised as a JW. My rose colored glasses cracked when I saw the last 10 minutes of Dateline May 2002 (the exposure of pedophiles in the JW's). The world has never been the same. I have been fading for a little over 2 years now.

I want to add my "welcome" to the forum, also. Thanks for posting, and I look forward to your comments on the forum.

I'm 36 yrs. old and was a JW for 35.

That's a heck of a long time - and then to realise it was all baloney! Good for you, onesong. This is a great place to recover.

Welcome!
