    I am looking for ex-JW's in the Jackson,MI area. I disassociated myself 10 years ago, and have been unfairly labeled an "apostate". I don't know anyone else in my situation. Feel free to e-mail.

    Hi there,

    Well, I'm not in Jackson, but in the proximity at least- I live in Detroit. I DA'd myself six(?) years ago *counts back*. Well round about that anyways. :) Welcome to the boards!

    Hello Harley and welcome.

    Don't worry about the tag of apostate. Nearly all of us are considered apostate too. I wear it as a badge of honor. The alternative is to still be clinging to an oppressive religion hoping one of their false predictions someday come true. I'd rather be a thinking apostate over a braindead dub anyday.

    Sorry, not in Jackson either, just wanted to say not to worry about labels, they don't mean a thing unless you let them.

    I am a proud member of Apostacon Corporation, I recently labeled myself an Apostate because I always wanted to be one! I love spreading the good word to the flock!

    Howdy Harley. I am not too far north of you(about 30 minutes). I live in the Lansing area and there are also quite a few more here on the board that are in MI, mostly Detroit. Shoot me an email if you would like, it's always open.

    Just a quick description of my situation. I am inactive but many here would consider myself to be an apostate of the WTS as I privately hold to my own ideas about the religion corporation.

    Well, I am not from Jackson, but grew up in the Monroe area, before moving to Ohio, but possibly attended assemblies with you?

    I left the JWs in 1979, went back briefly during the Desert Storm war (yep, was scared).

    If you want to write, feel free.
