come on guys, you can do better than this !

yawn, bore, blah.................come on guys, jw's are getting pretty dusty here, where's the zest on this board ?

tell your relatives, friends, etc: hey, you were part of the u.n., the watchtower bible & tract society owned a majority of stock in a jw company that had military contracts, the organization that you represent was false prophesying that the world was going to end in the 1800s through the 1900s, and when you can prove to me otherwise, than maybe i'll talk to you.

these guys are just going along with the program because they've gone along this far and they don't know what else to do with their lives because all of their acquaintances are part of this organization and their lives are almost up.............................to turn completely against this organization would be declaring defeat of their very lives.

I just realized that some of you would know my parents in Dallas.

my family moved there about 20 years ago.

i don't know how many congregations there are, but judging from where they live i am assuming they go to the kh that is south of dallas off of 35e.

i have never been there, and have only seen them a couple times in the last 20 years.. my dad is an elder...(99% sure), so i imagine anyone from that cong would have to know them.

wow!

it's really encouraging to find such warm hearted people so willing to welcome a new guy.. all of your kind words have made a difference already.

i have been reading hundreds of posts and i never imagined that there were so many others out there going through or have gone through the same thing.. i think you all are right about talking to my parents.

How rebellious did you get after leaving?
by JH in
1. jw
2. friends
after leaving a controlling sect, it?s normal to want to live ?freedom?.

what did you do to show that you were no longer under the influence of the watchtower?

did you grow a beard, start having sex with whoever, start drinking, start gambling?

Does dying scare you?

.

as jw dubs, we were sure we would live forever.

when we left the organization, probably we all started to accept that paradise wouldn't be around the corner, and that we would probably die like everyone else around us.. how do you deal with the fact that you will one day die?
