  hiya all, i've just recently joined the site and thought i'd introduce myself... i'm diane, 21 from yorkshire, uk.

  i stopped going to meetings just after my 18th birthday, i was never baptised but i was brought up as a jehovahs witness from birth.

  my mum (tez) and big brother (paulj) are also members, so look out for them too!

  now that i'm totally free of the wt & it's indoctrination, standing alone not sure of my purpose in life, not sure where to turn to.

  i still believe in god but find myself on the verge/or perhaps already questioning him.

  this is quite a sensitve topic & not sure it suitable, but i just need it out there.

  Honestly, do you think that JW's really like going to 3 or 4day assemblies?

  honestly, do you think that jw's really like going to 3 or 4 day assemblies, especially when it's out of town, far away, and you have to take a motel room, and all the gas money and food money it takes, as well as having to sit down all day listening to endless talks...and that for 3 or 4 days in a row.. and often, they have to take a day off from work, to attend the friday meeting, so no pay for that day.. i think that the jw's are glad when it's finally over, not before.. .

  no one to talk to

  by jeeves in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i guess this is my introductory post.. like many of you, i was raised as a witness.. like many of you, i'm no longer associated with them.. it still hangs over me like a plague.

  it's really annoying.

  i haven't been to a meeting in 4 years, i'm "out of the closet" - my parents know i'm no longer interested, my oldest brother won't talk to me... etc.

  being a baby dub in the 70's

  im from a small backward industrial town in the north of england.

  in the 70's when i was a kid no-one had a car.

  we used to meet for field service on the street corner and have a pep rally right there, then stand in a circle and say a prayer.

  I feel so angry!

  by Ellie in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  .

  not really much point to this except i want to vent some anger but yesterday my little brother came round to my house for lunch, he is studying and living at the house of my jw sister, i myself have never been baptized so am not disfellowshipped but they all (with the exception of my little brother) treat me as though i where.. anyway, my little brother came round for lunch and the next thing my jw mum phones my house, asks to speak to my brother and gives him a telling off for being at my house because i'm bad association, and tells him that he has to spend more time with the members of the congregation.. he tries to explain to her that the members of the congregation don't want to know him, that he is sick of making an effort to be friendly with them when they just ignore him.. anyway, it finished with her telling him he is to go straight back to my sisters house and not see me again.. he is 24 years of age, surely its up to him if he wants to come to my house!.

  sorry, i know there is no point to this, but i just wanted to let off some steam!

  i have been df for a nummber of years now and have recently been doing research via the web for the past few weeks.

  mostly because my new husband has been also doing his own research because i have been saying for years i want to go back, but never have and he had questions about the religion that he didnt understand.

  the only time i ever go to the hall is for the memorial.
