for me, i think it was just the right time as i was starting to wake up on other fronts as well (anyone who had went through these will know what i mean).

but it started when i was looking for what info goes on a publisher card, which led to me reading one person's story (ex bethelite) which was pretty crazy to an all-in jw but who trusts those apostates...?.

then i started watching videos on cults, as if my subconscious was trying to tell my concord mind something... when i saw a particular one about a young man in lds getting ready to start their 2 year preaching campaign, including a school, social activities etc, i realized that i couldn't tell the difference between the folks of this mormon cult and the jws (save for some religious differences) .

my mother got religion when i was about 7 years old---and gradually grew up in it. my childhood reasoning was it must be the right religion because we were in it; so i never really questioned or researched it.

i left school before i reached 16---pioneered on and till about 20. got married at 20 to my born in girlfriend who i had been with for 3 years.

a total change of life at 23---moved to a different part of the UK from my parents---started my own business--and also started my own family. thought long and hard about the blood issue--with regard to my as yet unborn child. i just knew i could never deny my family a life saving blood transfusion...or myself.

then it hit me--i had never really believed in god--angels--the devil--armageddon--a new world---a resurrection--. so i quit being a dub--just like that..and felt so much better. ive never looked back.

New Here

hi everyone, this is my first post .. it takes a little bit of courage to do it, i have to admit and even thought i have been lurking for some time as time goes by it gets more and more difficult to keep attending meetings and just been around the friends in the congregation.

ever since i learned about the arc something inside of me just broke and it feels pretty hollow, now i pay attention to every single form of manipulation in every direction, what difference it makes with the catholic church or with any other religions ?

i wonder why the publishers are under obligation to report about their lives and decisions to the elders but they don´t keep informed the congregation about what´s going on legally other than russia.

Ever heard of a brother being DFD and just walking away from family support?

by Crazyguy in

just wondering if there ever been a brother that got dfd and then was shunned by his wife and his at home kids and he's just said , if your going to treat me like this screw it and walked away from all his responsibilities as a provider etc?

it must be hard for those that are dfd to continue to support those that shun him?

again anyone hear of such a case?.

in response to saenames comments about me----with hindsight i realised my wife--a born-in---was just looking for an opportunity to get rid of me...and i obliged by giving her grounds for a scrptural divorce. but our marriage had been a sham for the last few years--for various reasons.
