i'll have to suggest that to my husband. He won't do it but it will be there in his head to think about. He doesn't go to meetings , only the memorial and the conventions . i think he goes to the conventions so that his family will see him there. They all attend different kingdom halls than him.So i guess its to make them think that he is still fully loyal. He's VERY blind to anything negative about the witnesses.

So I just need to vent a little. My husband is going to the Mass. convention this up coming weekend with his parents. I of course am not going . So I told him that i would miss him and he says "well you could come . Wouldn't you like to see all of your friends? They'd prob. like to see you." What friends would those be the ones that haven't called me in two years? MY number is still the same , i live in the same place. I'm not disfellowshipped i just don't go , and i got tired of calling them and them saying "oh yeah we'll have to get together sometime, but now isn't a good time". So fine don't be my friend ,i guess witnesses don't know the meaning of the word. I said to my husband "ok i'll go . I can always stay outside and talk to the apostates picketing the convention . Maybe they'll have an extra sign i could carry. And i could talk to the only people there who can think for themselves." After that he said maybe i should stay home.He tells me i have some anger issues. Yeah i have some anger issues . IT's like when you over sleep and miss soething really important. You wake up and look at the alarm clock through sleepy eyes and realize OH MY GOD! I OVER SLEPT!! I MISSED IT!!! Well i over slept by 29 years and now i'm awake and i look back at all i missed and i'm a bit ticked. But thanks for listening . I'm soo glad i found this website its keeping me sane in the insane world of witness land.

What Are Your Beliefs?
by MoeJoJoJo ini am very curious in what everyone believes as far as religious beliefs.. since leaving the org, i feel i am still in a limbo state, i'm not quite sure of what i believe yet.
i believed a lie most of my life which i'm sure most of you can relate with, so its not so easy for me to jump right into something else.. i do feel there is a superior being who created us all.
i am still trying to sort things out.. so if you care to share, are you atheist, pagan, christian, etc.?

I wish i new what i believed . After fading away from the whole witness thing I'm still not able to fully put all my faith into believing in one thing . I still believe there is a higher source but what that is i don't know anymore . I'm requestioning everthing in my life still . What is true and what is a lie? After being a witness my whole life and finding out all the lies my trust has been completly crushed. Can we ever fully put are trust in any religion again? For me I'll always be questioning it.

reading that just made me sick. What a bunch of hypocrites. I thought satan was the father of all lies. So i guess that makes him the orgs. new daddy.

Ok here's my story- I slipped away from the jw's three or four years ago . My husband still claims that he is now and will always be a jw and that know one will EVER get him to turn away because he knows that it is the TRUTH . However , he hasn't been to a meeting in the last few years himself except for the memorial and the conventions that he goes to with his family.I've given up talking to him , it only get us into fights.So we don't bring up the subject. I just keep hoping that he'll come around. I hope its soon , i want to start having kids and he still says that they will be raised as JW's.Over my dead body is all i have to say to that.I just could not stand all those two faced people anymore . I think it was easier for me to leave because the only other family member i had in the org. was my mother and she wasn't very strong in it herself. My husband however has his entire family in the org. His parents , brothers, sisters, aunts , uncles ,and all of there offspring. I wonder if thats why he seems to still hold on to it.Ididn't loose anyone when i left . If anything I gained back all those relatives I never associated with and i now have a wonderful family support group all aound me.But for him to leave he would loose them all. I feel bad for him but at the same time I wish he would MAKE UP HIS MIND.Thats all . I have to go calm down now. MY frustration has resurfaced.

So what problem do the jw's have with this holiday ? knowone can seem to give me an answer.Is it pagan or something? I really don't care if it is but i think that if you're going to say somthing is bad you should back it up with a reason why.

She also said " oh but did you see that girl Erica Larson was wearing a cross on her necklace?" I said "so?" " well " she says "i wouldn't believe anything she says anyway , i mean after all she is disfellowshipped and is an apostate and you can't believe them at all" After i swallowing all the words that sprang up into my mouth i said "oh ok" and i walked away. If i said what came to my head at that moment i would never get any information out of her again , and she is a good source of info from the inside. did anyone else hear what this letter said?
