  Life After JWs

  by Uzzah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i wanted to share some very cool (in my opinion) news.

  in two months i will have been gone from bethel for 14 years and attended my last meeting 11 years ago.

  i spent 11 years at bethel sacrificing all of my 20's to the borg and finding myself at age 32 with no resume or real work experience.. it has been a tough haul with the majority of my energy going into building a career.

  I'm so sorry Jeff. They talk about walking in Christ's footsteps and then act like that! Like you, even when I was a hardcore believer, I had a hard time shunning people. It just didn't feel right.

  Oh Cadellin I so feel for you! The crying! I thought I was going crazy too (note name, Ha!). I can remember sitting at meetings thinking, "why doesn't this bother anyone else?"

  Regarding your husband, how does he husband feel about the changing blood doctrine. With some of the other stuff, a person can say (even if I don't agree) that it's not that big a deal. But the policy on blood is often life or death! That is one thing that finally got through to my husband. If these men keep changing things, if they keep getting it wrong, why are we letting them make life or death decisions for us. Does he know that once upon a time they said that transplants were cannabalism? Then they changed it.

  Wishing you well, Cate

  Weldome! Many of us have family whom we would love to see wake up. In the meantime, this is a good place to heal.

  Is it true? The WTS will not disfellowship anymore?

  i'm sorry if i missed a discussion regarding this subject.. .

  my mother-in-law is a jw (not a fanatic).

  she goes to the meetings every now and then; she occasionally goes out preaching.

  I think someone is just slow to catch up to the wording that's been different for some time now. It's a legal thing. Saying "so-and-so is no longer one of JWs" implies that they weren't kicked out but rather chose by their actions or words that they no longer wanted to belong.

  It Seems More Witnesses are Exiting Since 1995 - From Your Responses

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i started a thread last week about when each of you exited the jehovah's witness cult.

  i received about 41 responses from different people on the board and the years they exited the witnesses.

  i went back and analyzed the dates you gave me and it was apparent from your replies that 25 of you left between 1998 and 2009 a period of about the last 10 years.

  Willyloman: I agree with you. While 1995 made a huge impact on me, I even managed to push that aside and keep going. It wasn't until about 2001 or 2002 that the floodgates of my mind wouldn't hold everything back anymore. I spent the next few years becoming increasingly miserable before finally leaving early last year.
