i am seriously considering disassociating myself.
i want to do this because i no longer consider myself one of jehovah's witnesses.
i no longer consider jehovah as my god and i am in a new religion now.
"More importantly if you fade you are still a JW. The thought of that repulsed me.", paulmolark dixit.
. Or in other words: It is impossible to have a foot on the moon and to act as freely as if both your feet were on the earth ... As simple as that !!!
Some decisions take a long time before one can take and make it. So it can take many years till one is ready to take and make the decision to disassociate him(her)self from the JW org.

After having been fourty years active and three years inactive I have decided to officially disassociate myself a few months ago from the Jehovah Witnesses' organization. Now that I have done it I have got much more respect for myself and I feel much more comfortable in my every day life and have lost the impression to be caught between two stools (je n'ai plus l'impression d'avoir le cul entre deux chaises) like the one I had during my three years of inactivity. The fact to be now 100 % outside of any religious organization gives me a clear understanding of things and people and the pride and joy not to move anymore in shady circles. Loosing confidence in a religious organization has not brought me to loose confidence in God.
But I recognize that to decide to officially disassociate oneself from the Jehovah Witnesses' organization is a personal decision that only can be taken after a careful consideration of different realities.
apparently it was announced last night.
i was not informed (for 'legal reasons'), but they phoned my dad and told him.
i understand it is due to my apostate book.
I have not been disfellowshipped, for the mere reason that I have decided to withdraw myself from the Jehovah witnesses' organization. But the result is the same : Being shunned even by some family members. But above all : Such a nice and deep feeling of regained liberty after many decades trapped in this cult 100 % made in USA.
So nice to be able to see things and people now as they really are, and no longer through WT glasses as before.
animals are a gift from god.
they allow us to see god in depth and in all his ingenuity and his superiority.
men especially "wt elders" are unable to compete with animals to let us understand all the glory of the allmighty god

"there are only three reasons you should miss a meeting.
fever, fracture or funeral.
everything else is a sorry excuse.

And what about FIENDSHIP ( I mean a real one, not a WT fabricated one !)

One of the wackiest jw thing : a HUGE MONEY VACUUM CLEANER under cover of religion !
it just seems to me religion in general primarily makes truly bad people worse, not genuinly good people better; and in many cases has even made good people do bad things in the name of their religion.
just curious, a personal poll if you will.
what are you guys' current views on religion as a whole?
I need religion as a whole like I need a hole in the head
it appears that a new 16-page brochure, with the title "return to jehovah" is to be released at the regional convention (dc) this year.
it would be written specifically for those faded or da/df.chapters are:a letter from the governing body1.
the lost one i will search for2.
Another mean to keep their flock busy, reassuring them that they are on the right side to be saved in due time, giving them one more opportunity to have a condescending look towards the "demented" ones who left the WT's American cult !!
