  One step closer towards.....

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  just yesterday i told my hubby, ever so casual and over a nice dinner conversation, that i had outgrown the organization.

  that after being brought up in it and having heard the same stuff over and over again, it just didn't appeal to me anymore; and that the few meetings i did attend were pure torture.. i confessed to him i felt sorry that i couldn't help him attain privileges because of my behavior, but that if it was up to me i wouldn't step foot in another meeting for the rest of my life.. he took it well.

  it felt good to get it out of my chest.

  I told my parents about 2 months ago and my mother was not too happy about it. When I told her that I was happy that I didn't have to worry about the meetings and field service, etc... she got upset and told me not to say that I'm happy because it made her sad that I was no longer going to be a witness. I was scared at first to tell them how I truly felt about the org. but after I told them I felt better. I even told my missionary sister a month after I told my mother about leaving the org. She was was very sad but to my surprise she didn't yell at me. She recently sent me a letter about how sad she was after she talked to me. She sent me some photocopies of certain articles from the Watchtower that I had questioned her about regarding the WTBTS.

  Doubtfully yours, I hope that your husband will keep on being supportive of your decision to leave the org.

  "o the happiness of those that are merciful, since they will be shown mercy.

  " (matthew 5:7).

  "o the happiness of those who are pure in heart, since they will see god.

  I wish my sister-in-law and her family was merciful. She has not seen or spoken to her own brother for about 7 years because he left the borg about 12 years ago. Then she stopped getting together with my children and I because as she put it, "We can't do much with you guys because of her brother (my husband) not being a JW." At the time the children and I were active JW's and she still didn't want to associate with us often. My daughter who was only 9 yrs. old at the time told me that she didn't think that they were true Christians because they didn't show true love to their own family. As Jesus said, "Out of the mouth of babes," and now I have been out of the borg for about 3 months. I am so happy and so glad I'm away from such a unloving and hypocritical organization.

  tomorrow i am leaving for the silent lambs summit.

  at 5 a.m. tonight, my jw brother, who is dying from a very rare disease, tells me that he was molested by the same guy that molested me.

  he also hints around that our brother, who is dead, was molested.

  Hi Country girl,

  I hope everything goes well at the Silentlamb meeting. I sort of understand how you feel because my husband was abused by a brother. I am looking foreward to watching the news on Saturday. I hope it reaches all the national and international news stations.

  Take care,

  Hello everyone! I am new to the forum. I left the borg just 3 months ago and found this forum. This forum has helped me to go through the process of leaving the borg so much easier. I just want to say "Thank you" for being there for me. It took me a couple months to finally get enough courage to post. I am so happy that I did.

  .

  most of us didn't go to the memorial since years.

  do the elders come over once a year to invite you to go, or maybe a friend?.....or do they just ignore you?

  Hi everyone,

  I am new to the post and just have left the borg 3 months ago. My father-in-law invited us to go to the Memorial and my husband told him that none of us would be there. He was sad but he just has to get used to it. My mother asked me last week if I was attending the Memorial and I told her "No." She took it better than I thought since this will be my first time not attending the Memorial. I was very nervous about telling her but now I am very relieved.

  dear friend, .

  what caused you to come and read the posts of so many of your former brothers and sisters who have either been disfellowshipped or have chosen to walk away from the society and the 'truth'?

  Thank you all for the warm welcome. I feel like I have found true friends that won't judge me because I am not doing well in the "truth."

  I was raised as a JW and I just left about 3 months ago. I was scared at first because my parents are very active JW's, and my older sister & her husband are missionaries. I been reading this forum almost everyday, and it has helped me tremendously. I finally told my parents and my sister last month about how I felt about the WTBTS. They were not very happy, but they haven't shunned me yet. I am so glad that I found this web site because I don't think I could have made it all on my own. Thank you all for your words of encouragement.
