How do ex-JW's actually choose another religion?

ok, here's my question.

how do you go from being a jw to being a whatever (methodist, lutheran, etc.

) i've been invited to go to many churches with friends, but, i have no desire to ever set foot in any church.

But am I bad if I choose not to be a religious person? I honestly have no desire to attend church. If I think about it at all, it's when I'm thinking of my son. Me myself, no thanks. Just not interested. Five Shadows - it took all I had to read the thread you recommended. Religious discussions do no interest me at all. Learning about religion doesn't interest me. When I was a JW, I wanted to learn more and more all the time. I was always reading literature. Now, it's like I just don't ever want to even think about religion at all. Did the borg do this to me? Maybe I'm just too scared of ever having to go through the same thing again. Granted I know that no other religions are like the JW's as far as teachings. But, the idea of gathering w/ those who are to upbuild you, but, rather, turn around and gossip and stab you in the back. NO F#$@%$ WAY! And, maybe not all churches are like that, but from what I hear, they all have there faults. So, why bother?

Ok, here's my question. How do you go from being a JW to being a whatever (Methodist, Lutheran, etc.) I've been invited to go to many churches with friends, but, I have no desire to ever set foot in any church. I want no part of any organized religion at all.

Every now and then I feel like I'm missing something, and wonder if it's because I have no faith. I have a little boy now, and worry that I'm pushing eternal damnation on him because I'm choosing not to get involved w/ any one religion.

I've been out of the borg now for 5 years (df'd now for 2 1/2) and I've only now gotten to where I don't believe what I was brainwashed to believe. But, I don't feel I need to be involved w/ another religion or learn new teachings. I feel that all religions have their share of hypocrites and don't want to get involved w/ any of them.

I was always under the impression that most ex-JW's feel this way. But, from alot of the posts I read on here, I guess I was wrong. How do you do it? How do you start all over in another religion?

hi everybody... i stumbled across this site in my travels and thought i'd say hi.

as mentioned in the subject my name is darren and i'm from melbourne australia.

i was born into the witnesses, the perfect little jw child.

buffy

Hi Darren,

Nice to meet you. I too was born and raised a JW. And, now am shunned by my family and friends. But, I'm now married w/ a little boy and have a new family. My husbands parents have become my parents now, and they treat me wonderful.

My husband also got the raw end of the deal. I had gotten pregnant and was then df'd. But, I had been inactive for years, just never got caught in any of my "worldly" deeds, until I got pregnant. He stood by me thru the shunning and the emotional time that followed. He'll never fully understand what I feel and how hard it is to deprogram and move on. But, he's been wonderful.

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. And good luck!!

scuba99: Thanks for your honest reply. I'm from Pennsylvania, US. Where are u from?

To all: this post has turned into way more than I ever expected. I'm just sorry that Mr. Sword interferred, cuz i only had a few people actually answer my original question. But, thank you to those who did. I get the idea that I wasn't the only one who went a little crazy. But, I think that anyone who was a JW at any time, has gotta go a little crazy in one way or another. Mr. Sword sure did make it interested. Hehehehe.

Sword,

"To answer your stupid question, there is a feature on this forum called "active" and it shows all current threads in all forums. I doubt I would search topics about sex from you depraved people. "

Ok, so, why are you on this website at all. Why are you searching any apostate material at all. As I asked in my previous post to you. Seems to me you're either beating around the bush or don't have an answer to my questions.

SwordofJah,

First of all, confused, I am not!!! You, however, that's another story. For the first time in my life, I'm the one in control of my life not the JW's. Who's in control of your life, I wonder? And, yeah, I went thru a wild time in my life went I left the JW's. But, I blame being a JW for that. I was kept imprisoned in the "society" and not aware of anything going on in the world around me. It was only when I got a little taste of "the world" that I realized I was being kept in a closet for no reason at all other than to be controlled. By the way, I'm now married, with an adorable little boy. And, no doubt, better off then you'll ever be.

Second, what kind of name is Sword of Jah. You're not Jah's executioner. You don't have any right to judge me. So, what gives you the right to call yourself the Sword of Jah. And, what gives you the right to even be on this website. You're not suppose to be reading apostate literature. So, shut the hell up and get on ur knees, cuz looks like u have some repenting to do. Don't worry about my sins, just keep track of your own asshole.

Ok, question for all the non Dubs. Am I the only one who went totally wild (sexually) when I got df'd? Well, I actually went wild when I turned 21 and became inactive. I felt like I had to make up for all the lost time. And, after the first time I had sex, I finally understood why premarital sex is a "sin," nothing that feels that good would ever be allowed by JW's.

Not only was I having sex like a nympho, but, I had to get a tatoo and my tongue pierced and do anything that I knew the JW's hated.

Anyway, just wondering if I'm the only one.
