Joined? Stayed? Left?
by Mysterious in.
how old were you when you became a jw, how long were you a member, and how long has it been since you left?
i'm sure there have been posts on here before but with all the new people showing up day by day i thought it might be help them to see that even the most hardcore jw can recover and be happy.. i was born into the religion, unbaptized publisher at 11, never baptized, left at 18, been out for 2 years and 5 months.

Hello. How are you? On my side I go very well. You had wanted the n° of telephone has Evelyne.j' have anything of his share it left for 6 months, and avoid contacting me I am very to astonish by his behavior aprês 14 years of common life it which always dreamed to leave to live in Martinique with the soleil.Moi, I think the error which I have do is too much to leave freedom, to be too nice. to want to make too well so that it is happy. And here is the result. It was the woman whom I have to love more in my life. But it did not know to respect my feelings, it is a pity to give up so close to the goal good short is to pass now. I make you a large kiss, and with very soon.

I want a "No Blood Card"!
by Bee inok, first off, let me make it clear that i'm no baptized jehovah's witness.
i studied for about 2 1/2 years, and was a publisher for about half the time.
i don't attend meetings, because..well.... i haven't yet summoned enough courage to ask forgiveness for my many wrong-doings.

The answer is simple - You simply CANNOT get a no blood card unless you are a Jehovah's Witness. End of matter.
By the way I think with your attitude you are going to make a fine JW.

Global stupidity of JWs, its getting worse. JWs come from Adam and Eve
by vomit ini myself try to refrain from calling anybody stupid, especialy since i dont have great writing skills.
but what are jws doing to eachother?
it seems to me that they are indroctronating them selves with espressions that even the watchtower doesnt explicitly teach.

This reminds me of how they used to tell us that Willliam Tyndale was a Jehovah's Witness too.
Why? Well he believed the same things they did so that makes it so.

"Giving a fine witness"
by Lady Lee inrecently i have heard a few movie stars make the comment that entertainers should not look at their on-screen image as any sort of idea of who they really are.
trying to live up to a manufactured image for the screen is a huge mistake.
i know what they are talking about

Linda and Lee - I too completely understand and relate to this.
Trying to live up to the ideal JW standard was my undoing. I felt like I was constantly failing at what everyone else seemed to achieve so easily. Later I learned this is how the organisation wants you to feel. Its a manipulation technique.
Since leaving I've had to discover who I am. What my interests are. My level of intellect. My talents. What I am not good at. What I enjoy doing. Its been a bumpy road with more highs then lows. And I've still a long way to go. But I am loving it.
