How many of you were nervous?
by Confusedgirl inif you are taught the jw organization is your link to god, it is so hard to think of leaving everything.
like a hole that will not be filled again, there is so horrible things that have happened in the world, could it be that there is no everlasting life for us, so many questions and to think of giving up everyone makes me sick to my stomach.
but i want to be happy and i'm not, does anyone feel empty?

Being a JW is all I have ever known. I feel so lost, empty, guilty, alone and uneasy. I know how you feel. It has only been about 7 months when I chose not to go back anymore. It gets better then it gets worse and then better. I am still standing my firm ground and not going anymore because of certain issues. I am still learning and seeing how things go along as I continue not to go. I feel for you it is not easy. All I can say is that there are so many here that know what you are going through and have gone through it. It helps to talk it out because we understand. We have been in your shoes and understand. I hope for you it will get better and that you truly follow your heart to whatever it may lead you to. Good Luck

Rebel8,
Well my husband and I had a hard time for years after we were married in what to do. It is all we have ever known. I didn't want to loose my family. Anyway about 7 or 8 months ago we both choose not to go anymore and raise our kids like that. We had a Birthday Party for my Daughter who just turned 3. I don't think we will ever go back not now anyway. I don't think it will be ever. I don't want to be apart of lies and ruining peoples lives. Thats not me or who I am. So right now my husband and I are just fade aways at this moment. However I have let some people in my family know where I stand.

I am in the same boat as you. However I am married and I have 2 children. My mothers side of my family who is huge in the JW religion. Many in Bethel Elders MS you name it. I love them all very much and I hate to loose them. Right now I am just not going to meetings anymore and I am looked at as I need to be "saved". My mother even blames it on my husband for me and my kids not going. I don't want to be shunned I love my family. However I am not going to lead a double life. Thats worse (for meat least). Going and doing everything while I strongly do not believe in it.... can't work for me. I am just in the fade away moment. Laying low and not bothering anyone. I know there will come a time where I have to take a stand but I am not ready yet. I have said a few things here and there but its not enough I know that. I feel for you. I know what you are going through. All I can say is follow your heart and do what makes you happy. I know easier said than done. But really is living a lie hiding and being scared everyday of your life much better? All of this will not be taken care of in a day or a week maybe a year or more or maybe never. As long as you are living the life you want and are happy with it then by all means do it.

Well................
Where do I start. I was born a Witness 4th Generation if you will. Trying to get baptized for 2 years going to all meetings, going out in service making at least 15 to 20 hours a month. Answering and giving talks etc etc etc. Did everything I was supposed to do. Then I meet.... well actually started to date a young man(known all my life) in the congregation. He was baptized since the age of 13 and he was very well known and liked by many. We started to date while I was going through the process of trying to get baptized. I would set up meetings to answer the questions and every single one was cancelled a day or even an hour before the meeting would start. I tried and tried. I thought to myself many people who get baptized have a ring on their finger as soon as it was all over with. Well I was different I thought you know what I have been a witness all my life and I love Jehovah and I want to prove myself to him and I didn't want everyone to think I was getting baptized just to get married. So my husband well Boy Friend at the time asked me to marry him and I said yes because I truly loved him. We set the date of our wedding and my wedding shower. So many of the people in the congregation came up to us and said"We are so Happy for you!" "Congrats!""When is the wedding?" Elders and their wives were apart of those who asked about our upcoming wedding. I knew I could not get married at the KH and it did not bother me I never wanted to get married there anyway. Alot of my family who got married did not get married in the hall. It never was something I wanted in the first place. Then came my wedding shower. I sent invites to family and Friends. And the friends that I sent the invites to ....my family had been friends with them for years and years. Well only a few people showed up at the party. I was crushed thinking did I do something wrong? Did I miss something? Well it was a total shock. I thought well I guess I am wrong for getting married with out being baptized. However when I went to the meeting the next day people came up to me as if nothing happened. It was like it never happened. Well I thought you know what maybe it was a mistake. I let it go. Well then my wedding was coming up. The Thursday night before my wedding there was a needs talk(thank god I was not there) They marked us. They said to our congregation(4 surrounding ones as well) that I was an unbeliever because I was not baptized. It was a wedding that was unevenly yoked. They said we were told not to get married and wait until I was baptized but we told them we were in love. They said anyone who goes could loose their privileges in the congregation. They NEVER warned me or my husband. Never once said anything to me. On my wedding day there was going to be 300 people and only 130 showed. I was so hurt and sad on that day but I just kept my chin up and put a smile on my face.
When we went to the meeting after we were married I was treated like SHIT. I was a disease to them. No one even talked with me and when they saw me coming they looked away. Still I kept on I still asked to be baptized. After we talked with the society about everything saying we were lied to and treated horrible they brought 3 new elders in. After they came and saw the whole mess they took us my husband and I in a back room and told us that they were sorry for not warning us about what would have happened. I remember telling them why was i called and unbeliever when it clearly says in the bible"they began to believe and then they were baptized. Also why was I told to go out in service and preach the good new if I was told I truly did not believe in it? They did not answer those questions. I took it and forgave them. I still kept trying to get baptized. Almost a year later of being married I was finally baptized. I was still treated as a horrible unworthy person. My in-laws wrote letter back and forth seeking punishment. Which was right they(Elder's) should have been DF'ed or something because they were caught in a lie. Well after awhile the Society wrote back as said the Elders told them they warned us and told us what would have happened if we got married. Funny isn't it when you are told one thing and then another. I hate lies and I hate lairs.
