Ten years ago my wife and I left the jw religion. She immediately jumped over to the Mormons and I attend various churches in the area. But one thing,,, those Mormons look at non believers like a lion looks at fresh meat. Always looking for some angle to get me to attend, and become a member. It's damn stressful, my wife is happy as a clam, and I'm looking around and stressed out every time some Mormon comes over .
Has anyone here joined a different church after ditching the JWs?

Still Totally ADD, I am a UU, too. I still had two young children when I left j-dubs and was looking for a community. Nothing like walking off a cliff and leaving family and friends behind! My daughter's best friend's mom was the RE director at the local UU church and she described it and invited us to come. After a few weeks I went to the new-comer welcome and asked if it was christian based and if I had to believe any doctrine. The answer to both was NO. That was 18 years ago. I've been more or less active since then. I'm on the Social Justice Council; I love that we can really help others! I'm in Ann Arbor MI>

I join the church I grew up in as a child because I had good memories, but I was a child. Not the same when you become a adult after reading the bible.

When I married my second husband, we joined the Episcopal Church. He had graduated from an Episcopal college (Kenyon in Ohio) and came to have an appreciation for the liberal views of that church.
I also wanted my daughter to see that JW's didn't have an exclusive on Bible reading, morals and ethics. Neither of us attends church at this time.
