That is sad but true. I found being honest and playing by the rules damn near impossible when I was in. All my friends seemed to have no problem with living that double life but I really couldnt do it. Now I'm out and they are still stuck in it. It will always be that cycle for them and I can't see most of them ever leaving unfortunetely.

Leading double life
by JustTickledPink ini ran into a young jw i hadn't seen in probably 12 years, anyways, she was the presiding overseer's daughter, perfect little jw... she's now 25 yoa, she is still an active witness and in fact a sympathizer to their crap but dressed in a low cut top, belly showing, carrying a beer, trolling for guys out a hot spot on a friday night with a "worldly" friend.. she talked to me for 5 mins and told me she had been df'd for a year but how horrible it was, she is reinstated and doing good..... but everything about her looks said she wasn't a good little jw.. i think more and more hypocrites are being raised in the organization.
i wouldn't be able to stand leading a double life, i would much rather be honest and not hiding who and what i am... but there are more young jws, including ones i would never suspect, that are jws by day, and regular people at night.
i think they are falling into the "sunday morning christians" mentality and carrying tons of guilt around with them.. i just wish they would wake up.

What's the Watchtower's definition of an "Apostate"?
by JH inif a person doesn't go to meetings nor in the field service, he's considered "inactive".
an inactive person is not an apostate.
if an inactive person joins a forum like this one, he is automatically considered an apostate by the watchtower org.

I've thought about out it before, but I'm sure that's what all my old JW friends and family call me, an apostate. That word when I was little used to strike fear into my heart. Now, I guess I feel proud to be called that, because it means that I was brave enough not to follow the crowd! hg

Was a good girl Jw for first 19 yrs of my life. Got myself df'd on purpose, realized that there was more to life and I needed to live it. Hated organized religion, didn't even know if there was a God. Yrs. later, I do believe in God and feel that I'm ready for organized religion again. My kids are getting to that age where I feel a church of some sort would be good for them. Not to shove it down there throats but to give them structure and a belief if thats what they want. hg

February 26, 2005 To Whom It May Concern: I hope this is the final time I will be annoyed by letters from the Witnesses. I have had many dealings with your membership; all of them bad. If you have been given my name by someone, tell that person that their tactics are not working. I am only annoyed by finding garbage in my mailbox. When a group of people can tear a family apart and pronounce a member dead because they no longer believe what they have discovered to be false, then they are NOT doing God?s work. I know my God, and he is not the one you have made up by skewing the Bible?s words to fit some illogical theory. Keep your garbage out of my mailbox, and I pray you will find the path to true faith one day. This was a letter my Grandmother sent to a local cong in Chicago. She keeps recieving Witness letters in the mail because she lives in a security condo and they can't get in. I'm so proud of my Gram! hg

Hello
by sweet tee inthis is my first forum post though i've been out here reading yours for a while.
i didn't know how to post my bio.
i became a jdub at the age of 16. i had a child out-of-wedlock who was 1 year old at the time and i was searching for answers - i wanted my son to have a future and the one the witnesses portrayed was better than anything i'd ever heard!

Hi Sweet tee, isn't it nice to be free! To be able to live a normal happy and healthy life! I was always scared to leave, I was told the horror stories of how bad life became for people who left. They did drugs, were alcoholics, lost thier lives etc... What a farce! I have the best life ever now, and am the happiest I've ever been! Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!! hg
