frank,

:Having been away for 20 years or more, I am not anonymous to anyone on this board.

I left in late 1972, I was 24 years old then, but also born and raised in that religion, er CULT! Sorry for shouting folks. The WTS cannot hurt me. My sister is loyal to that crap, and my mother is loyal to that crap, and my best friend (this would be my Father who was my best friend, champion and support throughout my whole life, is now dead and that crap means nothing to him anymore. I heard all of the dub lies and bullshit at his funeral on September 10, 2001 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The next day my Mother(tm) caused me unbelivabe grief. It was 9/11 folks and my mother wrecked by balanced with life yet again. I have since disfellowshipped HER. It cuts both ways.

Sorry to report this morbid stuff, folks, but you don't know the half of it.

I personally would not care if my wife, family, or friend's knew who I was, and read everything I have ever writtten here. I feel I have not one thing to hide. I say what I believe and feel. I would hope my wife, and daughter, and mom, and sisters, and aunts, and many many friends would read everything I have ever written here. I feel good about how I feel and have nothing to be ashamed of. Now then......having said that.......am I a pompous ass, or am I right?

Just kidding Farkel. If someone asked me "who on this board would you like to have lunch with?" you would be high on the list.

Now if someone asked who would you like to have a few drinks with ........

When I first started posting here I was a little worried that the cat would get out of the bag and I would be df'd but as time went on I realized that I might as well be. My family has grown to hate me and my friends have disappeared. No need for secrecy now.

I am still in and am attempting a slow fade, and existing in the congregation slightly under the radar. Since I have doctrinal disagreement with the org. I think my fading will work. My main relationship is with God, so I can bide my time.

Nonethless, it really is hard to tell if there are people from my area lurking here, so I don't give out too much info. either. I am known by some in at least 4 congregations so it's hard to tell.

Shamus:

My name is known now. And I don't give a rats ass who knows.

It's Bert, isn't it?
I did a photofit at the local police station and they even told me that you live in Sesame St.

"Your ass is mine Bueller!"

When I first came to this board I was still a JW Elder. What little information I gave out still enabled them to close in on me.

Now I keep back just so much as is prudent in an online situation where the worlds nutjobs can read it all for free.

Well I don't care as only my ex-wife is a witness and all the friends I though I had don't talk to me as they stayed in the borg, I have made new friends and now I'm happier...

Personally, I'm in sort of a Twilight Zone also. It can be frustrating at times, but I still can interact with everyone I have known for years.

I guess at some point in the future I will totally come out into the open but I prefer to be very selective and build a trust with anyone who wants to get to know me personally.

As Simon said above, you can come under real attack if you are still in any way "in" the organization yet question the beliefs.

I don't care. I've never hidden anything. (Actually I think some people wish I had kept a few things quiet!)

It really comes down to the question of risk/reward, doesn't it? How much information you reveal is in direct proportion to the amount of risk you feel. Personally I've gotten quite a lot out of telling my experiences and getting to meet some interesting, caring and wonderful people. That's my reward.
