Before You Leave The Witnesses, You MUST Make New Friends!!!
by minimus inmy advice to anyone that is thinking of leaving the "organization" is to make friends (real friends) with people other than jehovah's witnesses.
the sad truth is that jws are only conditional "friends".
they will drop you like a hot potato if they think you want to leave.

Are You Surprised As To How You Are Now That You're Out of The "Truth"?
by minimus insince we were indoctrinated that those leaving the organiztion had their lives turn into sh*t until they "returned to jehovah (the organization), how would you say things have turned out--so far?

i feel like i'm still in a process, but evry day gets better...i'm getting stronger w/my new found freedom from guilt, like others i'm still that same good person i've always been...and my new "wordly" friends "they like me, they really like me"!!!! but my surprise is that i really don't miss that many of my old "conditional" friends that i had all those years in the "Truth"

Were You Afraid Of The Elders?.Did Ya Love Em?...What Was Your View of Them
by minimus ini've heard of brothers and sisters saying that they have "prayed for the elders because they love them for their hard work and sacrifice".
i've also heard of how some in the congregation were petrified of the elders and of course, there were those that said they were either only men or that they were direct representatives of jehovah god himself.

being married to an elder for many, many years i did see a lot, elders reminded me of politicians, in the beginning wanted to reach out and help the people, only to get disillusioned, get caught up in the politics, the fights with the other disgruntled elders...eventually changing little by little til they get complaisant or just disgusted and don't care anymore. fortunately my husband had enough...he stepped down no longer wanting to mislead, eventually with a long stuggle i followed suit...did read coc and cried, got angry and fell away...now sometimes i still feel afraid of them coming after us, and becse lke most hve sme family who i see and assoc. with (conditional friends are gone)...it's funny though, my unconditional "worldly" family welcolmed me back w/open arms & no judgements.
yes this is my very first post
