Think about it...we are special
by findingme inwhen we were an active jw, we thought we were special, right?
we felt we had the holy spirit, truth, and the priviledge of preaching.
we drew a lot of attention from others because we were...different (special, unique, whatever).

Steve:
Thank you for your comments. The more I read words like the ones you have written, the better I feel. You are so right about the "unresolved issues" after so many years. I was to the point where I wouldn't pursue any goals, thinking to myself "what's the point? I'm going to die for being disfellowshipped anyway. I'm an awful person for not wanting to return to being a JW. I don't deserve to be happy". What a wrong attitude that was.
Time is a good healer, but relating to other people has helped me more. My immediate family left JW the same time I was disfellowshipped. We find ourselves talking about it a great deal; it's obvious we still have those "unresolved issues". However, I have talked with a more positve note since I found this site; I want it to help my family like it helps me. I want them to get past those guilty feelings and go on with their lives. Everyone, no matter where they've been or what they've done, deserve to do that.
I found this site by accident just a couple of weeks ago. It has helped me already. I hope I can help others, too.

Dear Lovin,
Reading your post effected me; it feel angry inside for what you are going through. I brought me back to my JW days when I, too, possessed a limited mind. To think I used to leave my disassociated sister out of the family loop.....still makes me want to kick myself.
I guess I am fortunate now. My family left the organization the same time I was disfellowshipped. I almost wonder if they used my situation as an excuse to disassociate themselves. We are much closer family now.
I'm so sorry, Lovin. You deserve much better treatment.

Did You Feel "Safe" Being A Jehovah's Witness???
by minimus ini think many people remain as jws because they feel an isolation that spells security for them.
they enjoy being in their protected bubble.
the realization that they never have to make any real decisions is appealing.

Interesting question! I remember trying to live "by the book" in every aspect of life. Doing so was a good excuse to avoid responsibility. Then, one day, I peek out from my shell and discovered I really did have my own brain and feelings. I could "think" and "feel" all by myself!

When we were an active JW, we thought we were special, right? We felt we had the holy spirit, truth, and the priviledge of preaching. We drew a lot of attention from others because we were...different (special, unique, whatever). Now, look at us: we are here, sharing our experiences with each other: why we left, how we left, what we went through, what we are still going through. Nobody else can understand what we have gone through...only people who have "been there".
How many other religious organizations have resulted in an "ex" site? We are here because we are "out" and we need each others' support and understanding. We need the reassurance that we are not "bad" like the JWs want us to believe. We are special, because we are where we are at now...It's like we have our own organization, without any rules. Oh my g.....
Sorry....I've been doing some soul searching....scary

it's gets challenging, though, when two or more people try to respond at once. Funny one-liners!
