inactive ones going back...
by monis1 ini have quite a big group of friends who were all in the cong together when we were teens.
about 75% of them stopped going or were df'd right after high school.
it is a varied group; a couple are staunch apostates, some dont care one way or another, and another handfull are fully "worldly", but still believe it is the truth.

me about it while he was drunk at our friends birthday party! haha.

One had a beard and has now shaved and is going to meetings. i wonder how many inactive ones are going back this year. and i wonder how many will leave again once 2015 comes...

HAS ANYONE SEEN.......
by DATA-DOG ina super bat-shit crazy invitation to pioneer in august??
i stumbled upon something the other day, but i have been hesitant to post it.
i am afraid that it could be a local thing and thereby traced back to me.

Have you reconnected with ex-JW's after you have left the Borg?
by EdenOne inafter reading from another thread, i felt it was worth asking this question.. if you left the borg on your own, have you attempted to meet others whom you used to be connected with while you were "in", but who have also become ex-jw's before or after you have left the wts?
if that's the case, has it remained a friendship, or the connection grew cold?
just curious as to what keeps friendships "stick" [or not] once you no longer have the borg's doctrinal glue.. your experiences are welcome.. eden.

after high school about 75% of the congregation youth left. i reconnected with most of them through fb, and we are now very close. they were floored that i left, but super happy. it is so nice to have friends who understand the process of leaving the cult.

i think it may be awkward to run into old jdub friends at the store and have to ignore them and be ignored. But, as it is now, when i see them at the store it is a royal pain in the arse because i have to endure them having to "encourage" me, which i find really bothersome. So, it may be a relief to cut the ties completely...

Translating JWFacts to Spanish... Update?
by ILoveTTATT inas you all may know, it is an ongoing project to translate jwfacts to spanish.
given that there are more than 2 spanish-speaking jw's for every one that speaks english, it can be safely said that spanish is the #1 language in the jw world (even though everything is made originally in english).. the spanish-speaking jw's are harder to convince.
i attribute it almost 100% to socioeconomic factors.

Meditation linked to increased age, health, and smarts?
by EndofMysteries ini recently read how advanced meditation increases the brains waves, higher frequency alpha waves which is linked to higher state of consciousness and intelligence.
now i saw this article, http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/10/health/can-meditation-really-slow-aging/index.html?hpt=hp_c3 that it also increases life and health, etc.
i haven't really read or researched meditation but i was wondering if anybody has got into it, into a 'non religious' aspect of it.

i meditate a couple days a week. i am not very good at it; i have yet to achieve deep meditation. But it relaxes me at the very least.

Roll call of those of us stuck in for our spouse or whos spouse is still in!
by BU2B ini just wanted to get a feel for how many here have awakened to ttatt but are still carrying on some jw activities to pacify them and keep the peace.
also trying to hear from those who have left, but whose spouse has stayed in the wt and in the marriage.. for me it comes down to my own mental anguish.
i am mentally tortured by attending the meetings, yet i feel compelled to because my wife would kill me with her personality if i had her drag 2 small girls by herself there.

my husband is now inactive, but still believes it and feels guilty about leading the "wordly" life we now lead. At first, i was like you. Going to the meetings was hurtful to me in the end. Finally i told my husband how i felt, not exactly all at once, but when the opportunity arose. He loves me, so he supported me in a way and told me to stop going if that is what i really wanted. i stopped right after that. He followed soon after.
I would just say tell your wife how you feel. you will feel mucb better.
