Would you still be a JW (page 2)

Seeker4

No. I had left long before I was disfellowshipped. They hunted me down months after I left my wife and was living with another women, and this was around 7 years at least since I'd last attended a meeting.
The 1914 generation change was also the thing that caused me to fade away, along with several other problems in witness doctrine and teachings. I realized quite clearly that this was a high control religion and had nothing to do with the truth in any form.

Yes if they had not kicked me out ( cos I did not believe in 1914) I suppose I would have been one still

I LOVED being a JW... But when I learned all the lies & & hardships they instill in folk I Smartened up.
So when they came back ( two elders) MANY years later after I had gone VERY PUBLIC to expose them They asked if I would like to be reinstated.... I said YES On conditions...I could be an independant thinker, I could tell all the congregation about the folks that died from lack of Organ transplants until Jehovah changed HIS mind, & I could preach the TRUE Gospel....Guess MY conditions didnt jive with theirs....THANK GOD!!!!

No, my mind left before they df'd my body.

Wasn't DF'd, didn't DA.

I thought this was a question is would I still be a JW if they did away with DFing/DAing. The answer to that is no..........there is nothing to make me come back to a sinking ship.

Hate to say it knowing what I know now...

but yes, I'm quite sure I would still be if I had not been kicked out...

Have not been df'd; would never go back.

Didn't get DF'd nor did I DA myself. I just got to where I couldn't stomach my life anymore living as a witness and doing everything everybody else expected of me and still made to feel like I wasn't doing enough; the lack of genuine love, the coverups, the hypocrisy and judging of one another got me to where I would rather have Jehovah destroy me armageddon than to live out the rest of my natural born days in the organization. My sexual orientation wasn't the primary reason I left but it would have been eventually; even if I was celebate or not.

I wasn't d/f. I did a looooong fade. No, I would not go back again.
