Hello, new to posting here!
by doffy injust wanted to pop in and say hi.. i'm from the uk and have made quite a few ex jw friends.
we have met up a few times, and it's great to be with others who understand (my sense of humour lol!).
i have been df for 14 years, and in the process became the black sheep of the family ( a familiar story).

Not everyone left the JW Org for the same reason...Why did you leave?
by JH insome left because they couldn't follow the pace.
some left because they knew they were living a double life.. some left because they rathered live a life of sin.. and some left because they considered it a cult.. i stopped going because i was unable to keep up with all their demands and expectations, and i found them too controling.
also because they cover their past and give false hope for the near future.. why did you leave?.

I was told I never made the truth my own. I was weak, and needed to start over, and learn the basics. When, as an adult, I studied it, and read, and learned, I found out I was lied to, and I was lying to other. (my children esp.)
When being told I was doing enough, and what they expected, demanded, and required was above and beyond what is written, I left.

I also want Amazing Grace played on the bag pipes.
I also have a tee-shirt I want to be wearing. On the front, it says, I'd rather be breathing. On the back it says, keep the fun in funeral.

I read in a WT, that Jehovah is our GRANDFATHER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How could that be? I thought he was our father, and the WTS was our mother. If he's our grandfather, who is our father that we are to pray to? (not joking exactly. never got the mother part, but I'm bull headed.) But I really don't get how anyone could figure grandfather, unless it was adam was our father, and god was his father, making him grandfather, but it still doesn't make sense.

Thank You!
by TD ini was going to post a personal note under the subject, "my daughter is reading jwd" but i decided to just say, "thanks" instead.
it can be confusing for a teen-aged child when one parent is a jw and the other is not, even in a house like mine, where both parents recognize that it would be grossly unfair to "pull" in both directions at once, forcing her to please one parent at the expense of the other.
jwd, with its huge cross-section of people and experience has been and continues to be valuable in helping her to make up her own mind.

What silly rules did your congregation make up?
by weinermcgee inelders were famous for making up stupid rules with no bible base at all as an ego trip i guess, what were some of yours?
i am not talking about the stupid rules that we all had to follow, just the congregation specific silly ones.. 1. having to button your jacket while on stage (this was later changed due to all the elders having a beer gut).
2. suits only or no privledges.

I just don't know where to start. I went to the ws book, and showed her where it said, Jesus is the mediator for only 144,000, and not all mankind. She said, that must be some mistake, they can't teach that. And then my mom cried. She said, I wont leave Jehovah, I wont. They must have made a mistake. So now she is writing to Bethel to get them to tell her if this is true. She said, forget the elders, I'm going to the top. But then she said, will it really matter. I can't leave my god. I can't leave Jehovah. No matter what, I love him. If this is wrong, I just wont believe that one teaching. I hated seeing her cry. She's my mom. I hate seeing anyone cry to be honest. I still have hope, one day she'll come to terms that the wts isn't god. The two are not the same. I just cannot thank you all enough.
Mrs. Ozzie, you're right, I need a new translation. I still use my old bible.
