Hello and welcome Az2008!!! What an awesome development that we now have you here.

You will find healing here. Believe it... everything DOES get better.

Love,
Baba.

Hi Az.

Just want to chime in here and say that you're such a special person.

Hang in there. With your video, you're helping the world to see what this religion is all about.

I wish I could say something to make you feel better. I guess I can't. I can just imagine your pain.

Namaste

AZ Welcome! I too watched your video last night and cried along with you. It is amazing how long the pain of living a life in this religion lasts.

Even though my post count is low, I visit here almost everyday so my best advice is to click on the "active topics" at the options menu near the top of the page. Be warned, some days it can be very active and you'll find several pages of posts from the day.

Lots of people have information about their exit in their profiles which can give you a framework as to where they are coming from and their experience.

Take your time, there is a lot to take in here but along with that there is an amazing amount of information, support and really cool people that hang out here :)

YAY!!! You made it!

You'll find all the support you need right here on this forum. The topics range from serious to silly, so don't be put off by that. You will also notice alot of the members are going through different stages of recovery. Some just need to vent. Others need comfort.

You are amongst friends.

The next step would be for you to tell us your story. So far we know that you were bullied into being DA'd at 14 when you actually just wanted to be inactive. I hope that your mom will come to her senses and salvage the mother/daughter relationship. I know it's hard.

So ... make yourself at home. We are here for you ... and very happy to have you here.

I hear a lot about ex jws that had to write a letter to the 'elders' what letter are they talking about?

That would be the "Letter of Disassociation". I sent one saying that I no longer wanted to be a JW after I researched the history of the organization and found all the false prophecies and lies within the organization. The letter is only needed for those who wish to sever all ties with the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society (WTBTS) with no worries of any backlash from family members. The letter is not enforced - even if the elders demand one. Although, like in your case, if the elders have enough proof that you are not with the organization 100% or even hint that you might have apostate thinking - they will just disassociate you for being apostate. Nice loving role models, aren't they?

In your case, I have never heard of elders trying to force a confession that someone is renouncing Jesus Christ. That's just insane! They have no right to do that.
