Hello Gory and welcome. No I have not returned to any religion since I left, and I am likely not to at all. Glad you have come.

Letting go of JW relatives (Long)
by MegaDude ini'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.

Megadude, your story has truly touched my heart. I have a sister and mother who will have nothing to do with me since I left, I cry many tears for not having them in my life, and can't seem to get past the lose. My sister lives just around the corner from me, she moved here awhile ago, she said she came back to live here to set things straight and try to get family back togeather, but to no avail, she still shuns me, if there has been any contact between us, it has always been my doing, with no response from her. I have come to the hard conclusion she doesn't want me in her life. Everytime I set eyes on her, I secretly cry, so she never knows what I go through, and I wonder if she cares at all. It is so hard, because we grew up togeather. For the longest time all we had was each other. I see in her a totally changed person. One who is like a recluse (spelling).
All I want is my sister, the one I used to know back again, yet fear that will never happen. And my mother, well that's a very long and different story. -

Attacking Newbie JW's
by VioletAnai ini was attacked here when i first admitted that i was studying with the jw's.
i also noted that blessed_something or other (sorry, bad memory) was attacked also....just because we say something positive about the jw's!
i think that is mighty unfair and defeats the purpose of you trying to turn us against the jw's.

Violet, I don't know you, but have been reading posts. You ask people not to be so sensitive, well maybe in time if it ever happens and you become on the receiving end of not so loving JW's, as they profess to be and go through the heart-ache, pain and sorrow as some of us have at their un-christian love, you will feel differently, you paint them as being pure-as-the-driven snow, but alot of us know differently, and that is part of the reason they are not part of the org. If being a JW makes you happy, then go where your heart is, but let ones here live in their own peace of mind, and live their lives according, without any added pressure. You don't know what others have experienced through their years as JW's. Some have been through years of pain, sometimes to hard to even speak of. Becareful that when you judge others, that you yourself may be judged. I still remember a talk once and a point was brought out, if you point a finger at someone, there is four fingers pointing back at you. I hope you find the happiness you are looking for.

WOW Kitty, that's pretty bad thing to happen to Sharal, glad to hear everybody was ok, but sure was a lose non the less. I never got your e-mail till the next day, so I just read it now. I work tomorrow, that is Saturday. As for the shuning against you on several occasions, some people can be so rude, don't take it to personal, maybe one day it will happen to them sweetie. Take care and say hi to Sharal and her family. Luv the doggie.

I am not excuse me a sorry loser, and this is the rudest post I have ever read. Where is your compassion for others pain, your love for others, your caring about others. Obviously you don't have any of the above. Maybe you should go kiss some more butt.

How can we ever forget, what a tragic thing to happen, please just to let you know you are in my thoughts at this time. I still remember that day as if it was yesterday. I have not had opportunity to see the memorial, but I can only imagine the impact it would have on anyone. Much love to you and your family at this time.

Most Frightening Door to Door Experience
by Kenneson inin my hometown, this other witness and i were.
going from door to door one day when we reached one particular house.. the householder became so agitated by the presence of jws.
that he "sicked" his dog on us, but thank god it had a muzzle.

I remember being chased by a dog, that ment to bite, and just running and barely getting my leg in the car. Also going to a house and having a man standing on his porch with a hammer in his hand, asking us if we are JW, we answered yes and he told us to get lost in some very rude language. I was young then and very afraid, we quietly turned and walked away. Oh here's one called on a door with 2 elderly men. A sister and I stepped in and from there the one man kept saying all they needed in life was wine, women and food, they kept saying this over and over again. Thank goodness for those long coats we used to wear that covered most of our bodies, if felt really uncomfortable, and just wanted to run. Thank goodness I no longer have to go through all that again.

The love of my life and I went to highschool together, we rode on the same high school bus. We were both on at the last stop. There was no seats left for us to sit down, so we stood at the door for the remainder of a 5 min. drive to school. Later on he and his friend where looking through our high school year book, picking out a girl that they wanted to date. He picked me. We have been together now for 34 years, counting 4 years of dating. When I first saw him, I new right then and there he was the one I wanted to marry.
