They Infiltrate Every Aspect of Ones' Life

LouBelle

After being out of that faith for about 2 years now, I look back and can't believe how they controlled so many aspects of my life.

We let them in and like a deadly disease they just spread and take over.

What we could and couldn't believe, who we could and couldn't associate with, not allowed to play sports, watch what close you were, don't make friends with that one, do this, don't do that, read this, answer this way, sell that mag, contribute to our fund, contribute to the magazines, contribute to building, give us your precious time and you get zippo for it.

And we let them!!!!

Man I'm so happy I'm out - not a day goes by that I don't celebrate my new life, my new friends, my new interests.

Viva!!

sacrebleu

I feel the same way. I have been out for 21 years and still thank God everytime I think about it.

What a relief!

I couldn't agree with you more.

I actually feel alive now that I walked away from it. It's wonderful to make friends with whomever I want now, spend my sunday mornings, tuesday, and thursday nights going whatever I want, and not worrying about looking over my shoulder all the time wondering if i'll "stumble" someone.

If only more JWs could get the opportunity to experience it...........

I look back at my childhood and young adulthood in the JWs and I can't help but feel a little sick sometimes. Even a little bitter.

But I feel much better now.

Burn.

sacrebleu

I go to church most Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights.

BUT if I decide to be lazy or do something else, I KNOW that the people genuinely miss me and I will not be lectured.

It is great.

When I was told I couldn't get a tubal ligation that was the beginning of the end for me. And saying what hubby and I couldn't or could do in bed was also a winner.

Complete control of it's members is vital for the borg's survival.

It's crazy and so true. My family that's still in I can't help but wonder how they can't see it.
How destructive it's been on everyone my entire life. I'm glad I'm out too, I just wish some of my family members could enjoy the same freedom.

Like the garments the Mormons wear.

Yes, they are real folks.
