  i know how very hard it is for us to leave a friend.. or let go of a loved one through death.

  many here have been raised in the truff..... while others have only been either associated or were in a breif time.... so i have a question.. .

  how long were you out before you were able to make a "worldly" friend??.

  2. friends

  my wife and i are moving 3000 miles away so that we can fade away as jehovah's witnesses.

  i am looking for suggestions as to what i should do about our publisher record cards (keep them in pa?, get them forwarded to seattle?

  ) so that we can start our lives on the west coast with a fresh start and so we'll just be left alone...any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

  Letting go of JW relatives (Long)

  by MegaDude in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been out of the jws for some time now, seven years.

  like many of you, i left a lot of acquaintances, friends, and family behind.. the acquaintances were fairly easy to let go, the friends very hard, and the family, well, near impossible, at least up until now.

  that she should listen to both sides of the story without fear and make her own decision.

  for those who "grew up in the borg"

  by zev in

  2. friends

  at this late, middle stage of my life, i've started wondering, now that i know what i know, about the things in my life that i "lived" with.

  having been raised all my life in the "borg" i have known nothing else.

  when questions began forming years ago, it started me thinking.
