  now that you don't practice the religion, is it safe to say that you reject everything that you were taught??

  ?

  I'm with you CountryGuy,

  I still believe some teachings, but don't know if THEY still believe them! A lot of things have already changed. Some of the things I couldn't do as a young person is accepted today, etc....it makes my blood boil!

  Keep studying JV....I can't tell you how I regret not getting a college education. My Dad (who's not a JW) cried when I told him I was getting married (at age 18). He tried to tell me how important college was and even told me he'd buy me a new car if I would only go. So what do I do? Marry someone I hardly knew. It seemed to be the in thing to marry young (before you get into trouble) and have kids. I'll always wonder what life would have been like if only I had gone to college. I wanted to be a teacher (elementary).........

  Feelings of an active JW

  i have been lurking on this board ever since the may 2002 broadcast of that dateline on the subject of child molestation.

  that show made me realize that the wt may not be speaking for god.

  well naturally i discovered the truth about the "truth" over the past 21 months.

  Welcome XBEHERE

  The slow fade worked for me. They talked to me on and off about it but eventually started to leave me alone. That was a relief. I'm glad to be out. I know I left many friends who had doubts and personally know of 2 who left not long after I did.

  I would have had a hard time keeping my cool. You did great!!! Yesterday at the Wal-mart store I saw one of my closest JW friends walking toward me. I said HI! She just said hi very lightly and darted down one of the isles. Do you suppose they are scared they might catch something from us? HA HA Dead Man disease!

  many witnesses take pride in being part of a 'clean' organization, but is it really?

  Welcome Hushai

  When I left about 13 years ago, a lot of things were unclean at my hall. Alcohol abuse and wild parties etc. It seemed like it was just swept under the rug. I didn't like the way the elder's families seemed to get away with more than the common folk .

  I use to look down my nose at "worldly people" until I left the religion and realized that good, hardworking, honest, loving people were right under my nose and I used to stick my nose up at them thinking they were worthless. Now I have come to respect the people I did that too. They are cleaner than a lot of people I knew at the hall.
