I fell for the love-bombing like others who were duped. Thought they were very nice, though a bit AR. And the music the first time I attended the KH?!!! It sounded really dorky....like soap opera theme music.
As an aside, the name Jehovah really was repugnant to me at first. I physically recoiled when I first began hearing it. Now I know why.

What was your first impression upon meeting 'worldly' people during exit?
by mavie inso, you are starting to leave the cult.
you begin to meet new people and instead of viewing them all as 'bad association', you begin to view them as fellow humans.
what was your first impression of 'worldly people'?.

Like I didn't really fit in with them either, but it didn't take long to get over that notion. They're not AR like jdubyas and are non-judgmental. Very easy to be friends with 'em.
AND...they're much more fun to be with!

NEED HELP: What's wrong with CURRENT Borg policy on molestation?
by Open mind inok, first off, please don't shoot the messenger here.
the dateline show on jws hiding pedophiles was one of several "defining moments" in my process of questioning "the truth".
it disgusted me.

Any other horror stories of "my molestor is still a JW elder" will be met with: Prove it. It's not substantiated. He said, she said.
This is totally WRONG! While those cases may be in the past, most places don't have a Statute of Limitations anymore and the victims need to be reinterviewed and these, TOO, should be turned over to the police. They need to scour their files and do some cleanup work on this particular point.
Two witness rule, be damned! The two-witness rule in cases of alleged rape and sexual assault against a child should be honored. They're such mental pygmies.

I know you love your Mother dearly, chere. The kindest way to get out of going would be to do what Buttlight and Madam Q suggested. JMO.

It's Our daughter's B-Day & Mom gets Pious on us
by 30girl inokay, historically my mother has always called me and jim and our kids on all of our b-days - always, we've been married 14 years and she's never forgotten and neither have my siblings, until this year.
this year she has decided that she can no longer continue her tradition, it isn't right.
this year she has decided to get religious on us.

((((Sasha)))) I will tell you this. My first memorial was just a coupla months after my dF'ing. I was still "indoctrinated" in the WTS BS, but I had NO plans to attend a KH for the memorial or anything else for that matter......ever again. I just baked up a small loaf of unlevened bread, bought a small bottle of wine and we celebrated the memorial at home that one time.....in good company, as far as we were concerned.

Hi
by rosiegurl inmy name is rosie.
i'm 36, have 3 kids and was raised in the 'truth'.. since i was about 18 i realized that things weren't quite 'right' but stuck around mostly because my family is so much a part of it that if i left i'd have nobody.
i've been df'd 2 times...got reinstated the last time with the intention to just drift away after so that i could stay around my family and do my own thing.

Lookin' forward to hearing more from you, chere!

I bought a coupla scratch-offs during the time after I had written THE letter to the GB that would precipitate my dF'ing. I figured I was already free. (shrugs)
Edited to add: I won 16 bucks off those scratch-offs.
