i just found this sight today and have not had time to read very many posts, but i can relate to some of the ones i have read thus far.
i have been a jw for only 2yrs.
but have had doubts for about 6mo.
Kibi,
I so know what you mean...My wife and I have been inactive for about a month but still she is skeptical to what I show her. Keep on there, its very fulfilling to see the real truth about this org. I have hope that both our spouses will join us soon. Hang in there, and thanks for sharing your great story!
this is my story.
it is my first time telling my story and a little intimidating.
when i was 8 my adoptive family became jw's.
Thanks for sharing that wonderful stories. It really encourages us new ones that definitely the right decision is to seperate ourselves from this unkind and unloving org. Thanks again and good luck to ya!
P.S. Look forward to more posts from you.
i just thought i'd like to start posting as i've been visiting this site for some time.
it's hard to believe that i'm actually doing this seeing how i am a 4th generation jw.
my great grandfather was a contemporary of russell and my grandfather was on the board of directors of the society.
Hey there,
Im new here too. Congratulations on learning the real truth and look forward to reading more of your posts.
was there a comment made at a meeting that finally convinced you, this is not right?
for me a couple of weeks ago was in the service meeting, they stated that if the children didnt finish their homework because they were studying the bible or at a meeting that teachers should understand that their meetings and study are more important.
i looked at my wife and went "what"??
Very interesting thread here, thanks to all who have contributed...

OMG! I just cant believe the things they say up there. And 4JWY that was during a prayer?? How can they continue to think God listens to them?

Hi there,
Im new to the website and farely new to the idea of leaving the JW's. For a long time I've had doubts, questions that dont have an answer. I was an MS and reg pioneer for about 5 years. I got to the point where I went out and gave public talks, brought a couple of people into the truth. I finally moved to a cong that needed more help and fell in love. I married the most wonderful woman and sister. We now have the most beautiful little girl. For some issues I'd rather not discuss at this time, I lost all privileges and stop attending meetings. At first I felt guilty, but all those doubts in my mind began to come up and this time I began to investigate them instead of ignoring them. OMG! Was I in for an eye opener. I couldn't believe was I was hearing and reading. Needless to say I know want to leave the org. Im still a member even though I havent been to a meeting in three weeks. My wife still feels like a JW, besides all the info I've shown her, but she has not been to a meeting since either. I think she is getting it. I've been reading the forum and finally decided it was time to say hello to all!!!
