leaving

to those of you that have been jw's for many years... i would like to know how it is that you have transferred to your new life.

my family and i are in the process, actually, we have left because of many of the issues brought up on this forum.

this, being jw's, is all that we have ever known.

I've left emotionally and mentally for 10 years now.

It took me a good 8 years to deprogram myself. I feel so much better now about my decision. The first 5 years was such a struggle, I'd keep going back and forth on my decision.

When the World Almost Ended

the next time you fall into pessimism ( it happens to me too!

) consider the year 1968.. the war in vietnam was raging, the us lost its 10,000th airplane in the war, the tet offensive took place, johnson gave up in seeking.

another term as president, the russians invaded czechoslovakia, robert kennedy was murdered, martin luther king was murdered,.

In the late 70s/early 80s the scientists/economists/religious leaders/others speculated that mankind wouldn't make it to the year 2000, citing a myriad of reasons why.

Well, well, well.............!!! Hellllllllllllloooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Earthquake in Pakistan

by jt stumbler in

all in the name of allah?

a few less recruits for osama in my oppinion.

i just can't seem to find much sympathy.

Peppermint,

Same as in the USA. People killed were honest, hardworking, innocent, and wished others no harm. And yet, the Muslim world rejoiced in our misfortune and speculated that we were being punished by God.

Well, well, well...............

My husband said something that surprised me about this recent disaster. His coment, word for word, was: "Good! Less future terrorists to worry about."

I really was shocked by it. I mean, he's the perfect picture of an 'aspiring to be elder' JW.

WOW! Is my non-JW attitude getting to this man and I don't even know it?!

My wife has joined me in leaving the Watchtower!!!

by AlmostAtheist in

jw
friends

i had posted a few times since my awakening asking how best to talk to my wife about my new take on things.

i was very afraid of handilng it poorly and chasing her deeper into the organization.

instead, she basically said, 'i've been feeling the same way!

Making it out of the WBTS is quite the journey for a couple.

Find as many things in common as possible. Now that there will be a new set of values and perspectives, get to know one another all over again.

Best wishes.

Other Than D'Fing or Disassociating, How Did You Get JWs To Leave U Alone?

by minimus in

jw
friends

how do you keep them from bothering you?

Doubtfully Yours

The smart, faithful JWs already understood that I'm a JW in name only, and only interested in keeping the lines of communication open with my folks.

When I happen to attend the random meeting, I ignore just about everybody else in the congregation, just polite to them as I would be to any unknown person in the street.

Add to that the fact of me being very vocal about stuff that I don't agree with the WBTS. Believe me, they stay clear away from me as most consider me rebellious, borderline apostate.
