    I'm disfellowshipped. My sister is really into this place and told me to come to this board and read everyone's comments. We've all had pretty similar experiences it sounds like. I have not developed any ties with a religion since I left the witnesses, have any of you? If not, do you feel like you should?

    Nope. 'hovahs were my first and last attempt at religion.

    Hello glory,

    Welcome! I currently am not going to meetings and not to any other church, although I would like to find a group of bible believing people to study with someday.(church?)It still is hard because I still believe in some of the witness teachings, sometimes feel like going back. musky

    Hi Glory,

    Welcome!

    Some people here do connect with another religion. Some don't need an organization to feel a connection with god. Some reject the concept of there being a god at all.

    As for myself, I am agnostic with atheistic tendencies .

    Hello Gory and welcome. No I have not returned to any religion since I left, and I am likely not to at all. Glad you have come.

    WELCOME GLORY!! I've never been a JW but enjoy most of the posts on this board. I have a JW friend for the past several years and I'm trying to figure out what makes this person tick. They bring up religion constantly, but when I ask some tough questions, this person won't talk to me for a couple of weeks, like I was possessed or something. I've been enlightened by this board tremendously.

    As for me, I been to several Christian Churches and am a total believer in the existance of an Awesome God, One that people are always trying to explain (or unexplain) according to their own biases.
