Jgnat-WOW!
Those are all such great responses. Wish I had them a few months ago when my family and I were getting harassed by the elders. No doubt I'll still be able to use some when I run into some old "friends". Thanks for sharing!
for the moment at least, my muse has been revived, and i'm wrapping up my book for "unbelieving mates".
i had started to compose a list of common jw excuses and manipulative questions, and their retorts.
it is not finished.

gus_gus, mouthy's daughter and my aunt, asked me to post this for mouthy and nathan.
grace i don't know how you are doing this but every picture i see of you makes you look younger and younger.
Great Shirt and nice hearing from YOU Mouthy!
You look proud to be wearing that.....
I think some may leave the religion because of "hurt feelings" or a disagreement they may have with someone.
I know at first I thought it was localized problem. That with time the issues would go away or God would step in. I had the misconception that by moving and going to another hall it would get better......
You have to open your eyes and notice it's on a grander scale and this religion is just all around corrupt.
i frequently have insomnia - but have found some help in getting back to sleep.. first, stop talking to yourself in your head!
if you get up to go to the bathroom, don't allow any internal dialog.. second, try doing the "wave".
you pretend that a gentle wave is moving your body in bed.
Down a nice mug of hot chamomile tea before hitting the sack....works for me everytime!
what rebellious actions did you or other do in your congregation, not enough to be disfellowshipped, but went a little too far.
sometimes we have to unwind .
i remember sitting in a brothers car.
HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS!!!!!!
I sat NEXT to my boyfriend during the meetings and sometimes we would hold hands! LOL!
Ohhh and I would sometimes wear skirts that were ABOVE my knees! Can't get any more rebellious than that!
i'll introduce myself:
i'm a person who'd like to remain anonymous.
i'm 16, and recently confessed to my mother my disbelief in her religion (jehovah's witnesses, obviously so).
(((((((((HUGS))))))))
You've gotten some great suggestions already and I can't really add much more but a BIG WARM WELCOME!
Just to reiterate, hold tight until you are 18. It seems like a long time, but I promise the 2 years will go by fast.
Bottom line though, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do NOT give up on life. There is so much to enjoy when you DO break Free from this religion. Don't let them win....you are stronger than that!

this just in for your reading displeasure......enjoy
