My wife is a huge fan. I couldn't stand the disgusting slurping noise the "walkers" make. For a long time she watched it alone. She recently talked me into watching a couple of the first episodes so I would understand the premise. Still, I could take it or leave it but if she has it on I'll watch it. Kind of like a train wreck.

The Jehovah's Witness religion has gone for good !!!
by snare&racket ini am not sure how you all feel as we all left at different times for different reasons.... but this new bible seems to have put some final nails into a coffin that was once my jw life.
the religion is so far and so different to the religion i grew up in that it has become something i feel no affiliation with anymore, no bond, no shared ideas or even sentimental views.
different teachings on when the end is coming.

Wow Snare,
What a great year old post! If it wasn't for reading posts on this site, I wouldn't have realized just how much the cult has changed. Your good-bye list brought back memories I haven't thought of in years. Most of them humorous. It hadn't really occurred to me that the religion I left, other than some fundamental craziness, no longer exists. Again, great post!

Waking up your spouse
by All for show ini am aware this has to be done quite carefully, but how?
while many may complain and see the hypocrisy within the kh's, maybe even with the gb, how does one bring up doctrine issues?
i surely can not tell my husband to "go look what jwfacts.com says".

My ex is one of the smartest people I know. When she and I discussed any topic regarding the error of JW world she could not cope with the cognitive dissonance. She would shut down and go into the, well we just have trust Jehovah and the GB, mantra. I tried different approaches and many times there would be only one conclusion and it would not be in agreement with Wally World. She would never take that final step and say they are wrong. My point being, with some people, no matter how smart one may be, he or she will stay. Know when to give up and move on for the sake of your own well being.

Divorcing my husband of 13 years...
by 2pink inmy husband and i were both born ins.
i left in 2009, and he followed me out a bit later.
we were one of those couples who followed the script, married young and ended up having nothing in common other than the religion.

Keep that in mind and you will be fine. As long as you have that attitude you are well on your way.
Keep us posted.

I'm out- Random thoughts on leaving as I look in the rear view mirror
by Skinnedsheep init is amazing to look back at three years and see the journey that we have taken.
i went from being an elder to fading completely in the course of those three years.
along the way i am happy to say that my lovely wife woke up and realized that the truth is nothing but a lie.

Skinnedsheep, it does my heart good to hear about anyone freeing themselves from that crazy world. Out of curiosity last night I read about the "overlapping generation" thing on JWfacts. I just laughed and wondered how anyone could swallow that bullsh*t. Congratulations to you!

Welcome, Powermetal, I was a believer and found it brutal to sit through most meetings and going in field service. I don't know how you non- believers do it. Look forward to your posts.

Did he think he was clever, funny, or just wanted to make JWs look stupid with a ha-ha-I'll-show them?! He accomplished exactly nothing except making himself look like a total ass. IMHO, not the way to make a point. As much as I don't believe in their message, the video made me feel bad for them.

What Happened to the Religion I Left in 1995?
by JoshJeffries injosh here, new to the board.
glad to know this site is here.. i would not be writing this if it were not 2014. i was a ministerial servant and regular pioneer who left the jehovahs witnesses back in 1995/96, around that time.
i left suddenly, didnt fade away, just left when something clicked one day in my head during the morning shower and made me realize this religion wasnt true.

Hey Josh, welcome to the forum. Very well written post. Am I detecting a little nostalgic tone? Just remember the constant changes and "new light" are proof of this cult not being anything close to the truth and that it is, well, a cult. Like you, I am so far removed that it didn't dawn on me till well into the year that this marked 100 years since the famed 1914. I rarely give the religion any thought or energy and certainly don't regret leaving. This Saturday morning I can't imagine trudging door to door instead of doing what I now do on Saturday mornings, watch College Game Day!

My Story: from JW Elder to Born Again Christian to Agnostic
by passwordprotected ini first posted here on 3rd june 2008. at the time i was an elder, appointed the previous october, i was 36 and i was a born-in.
at the time i'd become disillusioned with the society due to the governing body's letter explaining why the book study in private homes was being abolished.
april 2008 saw me start questioning this decision, privately of course, and this eventually led me to this site, to jwfacts and to many youtube videos, all of which began to errode my faith in the leaders of the organisation.. in july 2008, having discussed my doubts with my wife, i attended the district convention, deciding to give the society one last chance to convince me it was the truth.

Interesting, I've known a lot of atheists including my best friend and have never been pressured to be atheist.
