  so at long last i've converted my childhood friend from being an apologist to being a near apostate.

  lemme tell you how that happened.

  this guy and i debate almost daily the virtues of being one of "jehovah's people.

  Welcome

  This is a very supportive board. It has been great therapy since finding out about the hypocrisy within the JW religion. (IF you are a JW you can't ask questions about the UN or pedophile problem without them labeling you as "apostate".

  i'm nearly 45 years old, an entirely different person than i was when i was df'd at 25 years of age.

  i haven't had a phone call, no letters, no jw visits.

  my parents don't call, nor my siblings.

  It breaks my heart to read your topic. I am truly sorry for their lack of love.

  It is THEIR lack of love that is the issue....there isn't anything wrong with you.

  We all have a need to feel loved, and knowing we are missed.

  Continue to surround yourself with people that truly love you...

  Destin/Panama City Beach, Florida: for the amazing white sand powder beaches, turquoise/green water you have ever seen!!!

  Fildalgo Island (Washington): amazing water/mountain/other island views everywhere, it is truly stunning!

  Banff : reminds me of a Canadian Swiss Alps. IF you are into photography like I am, the snapshots are endless

  Yosemite National Park (California): again, photographers heaven!!! Even if you aren't into photography, the endless picturesque scenes are breathtaking!

  I know the destinations are not cities...but for the traveler who wants beauty....and serenity, these are a must see!

  A bit reluctant

  by saki2fifty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a bit reluctant in writing this post, for i dont feel i should be here.

  even a bit nervous... .

  i've never officially dedicated myself to jehovah, but i was brought up in the truth, very strong, and at times when getting older, there were lulls in my attendance... yet to this day i still attend.

  You can never leave Jehovah but you can leave a religion.

  Jesus didn't endorse any particular religion, did he?

  He showed us the way to have a relationship with Jehovah. Jesus is our mediator, NOT a religion.

  Just because I am not at a KH doesn't mean I have left Jehovah or that I don't have a relationship with him.

  Just something to think about...

  I'm confused

  by Auchmull in

  i've been studying with a jw for a short time.

  i started searching the internet for more information because much of what she was saying and what i was reading made sense, but i didn't trust my own judgment.

  i haven't seen the ugliness that i read about here and as an outsider, it looks comforting.

  Hi there...

  If you are feeling terribly conflicted, that might mean you have a good reason to not be involved with this religion.

  I too, was raised in this religion, very zealous and faithful, and like Lady Liberty, when finding out the "real facts" about certain issues, I could NO longer deal with the hypocrisy. The lack of love within the religion hurt as well. Imagine relocating and the elders come to welcome you and say: "we need to see your publishers cards, YOU might be pedophiles". (I sank in horror on my couch that they would think we were pedophiles)

  You have a conscience for a reason. I am glad you are researching. Hope your confusion ends soon.
