Hi and welcome

Brilliant

i've been lurking for a while so thought i'd introduce myself.
i'm in my late teens and left the jws just before i left home.
i used to know what absolute belief was, but never got baptised because i didn't feel any love for god.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHIE!
be happy don't worry
it's your birthday!!!
do the other witnesses with whom you associate/once associated in general know that you are an apostate or have apostate inclinations?
the reason for the phrase "in general" is that it may be the case that one or two close friends know how you feel, but others in general do not.
in my own case, one other witness knows, but no one else, so i would answer the survey question with a "no".
Yes
really clever!
looking forward to its fall!
is it better or worse since you left the jehovah's witnesses?
No comparison. I felt I was going crazy most of the time being a JW but now I feel great! wholesome!
an adult who makes good choices!
one of them to spend time here

i was baptized thirty six years ago.
At baptisms over in the UK they seemed to stress the actual date of your baptism
Never ever understood that!
just came across this "mad apostate" form letter in the best of area.... to whom it may concern: .
your harassing inquiries into our personal affairs are not welcomed, and any further attempts at such will result in legal action against the individual harassers, the --city--, --state-- congregation of jehovah's witnesses, the watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc., the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses, inc., and all associated watchower legal entities.
to the best of our recollection, we have not participated in field service in approximately __ months, have attended no meetings in approximately __ months, nor have we participated in any other activities which would specifically identify us as jehovah's witnesses during the same time period.
