Still in but only to spew venom!
It's a freakin riot when they mention the leaflets warning about "Recent cult activity in the area" that I slipped under the brother's door mats.
"Oh yes brother! It's terrible and WHOOOOO would ever do something like that?
I left voluntarily after reading Crisis of Conscience, which confirmed that the JWs didn't have the "truth." Though not DFd, I'd never return to the Watchtower dictatorship.
The first time I was DF'd I told them to do it. I had chosen to go live with my real dad in Texas. I thought it was ironic. My stepdad, a MS was molesting me, and I was the one to get df'd.
The second time I told them to go to hell. I knew what their reaction would be. While I was sitting in a meeting and my baby was crying, I was getting those "time to take her to the back for a beating" looks. I decided then and there I wouldn't raise her like that.
shelley
I DA'd, so...nope
Been a fader for about a year now. I drove past a hall a few months ago, but only by accident.
I will NEVER go back.
I wasn't disfellowshipped, I disassociated, so therefore I chose to leave, and no, I won't be a jw again.
I just left and never went back, I will never return and will never attend another memorial or assembly. My kids and I wernt treated right back then and I refuse to subject my son to the ways of the JW's. I was raised a JW and tried raising my daughter in it but finally gave up trying to strive for something that wasnt attainable. She was misserable and I decided that I wouldnt subject my son that kind of lifestyle, now he's a really happy 11yr old that has a great future ahead of him!! He will be able to be a normal boy.
Nope, absolutly not I left of my own free will. As far as they kow I am just inactive. I am willing to give up my parents and sister when they find out. I got tired of being controlled.
purplebunnyfoofoo, what's your story? I think it might give more insight to what exactly you mean by this question?
I would like to think I would have woken up no matter what, but I think the two times getting DF'd contributed to my dissatisfaction in the organization. I was definitely one to try and please others though and might still be there if they would never have DF'd me...I've been reinstated since then and am just fading now...
Now I'm about halfway through Crisis of Conscience and can/will NEVER go back. I've been realizing just how ludicrous it is that years of my life were spent in such a depressing, isolated, stupid way, just because of the whims of the men at the top, who weren't even using the Scriptures to decide these matters that affected so many people's lifes in adverse ways!!! It's sick!!!!!!!! I wish I could share these insights with my family but they have their apostate radars turned all the way up and won't even give me a chance. If my source isn't WTS then it can't be true.
Well that's my rant, one of them at least.
Raging Girl
My story? I was baptized in 1974, disfellowshipped in 2000. Before I was baptized I was molested by a 'brother'. Married a JW brother, he was a fake brother. Divorced from him after 16 years. Later the 'brother' I was dfed for is/was well known online and was a con artist, apostate, and every terrible word you can think of. The sister he married after 'us' took her 2.5 years to get her marriage annulled from him. He is a member of this board and if there was a burning hell he deserves much worse than that punishment. Among us who he mislead and abused, we refer to him as the president of the little dick club. Not much of a man, let alone a JW.
I suppose if I was never dfed, I would still be in.....just not active. I am in the not sure group. Things I cling to as a hope, yet so many lies, and liars.....and justice is rare.
I hope to live life as I feel and what happens will happen. Dying does not bother me at all, nor does living.
