  I can emphathize with you. I was df'd about 4-5 years ago and was shunned by some friends and family members. Luckily not all my family shunned me, even though they are baptized. But I did lose my best friends at the time, but I quickly made others through school and work, real friends that like you for who you are, not just because you attend the stupid KH.

  I recently started attending dinners that are organized by meetup.com where other ex-JWs meet, tell their story, discuss current issues, chat about family and friends. It's great to talk with other ex-JWs as they can relate to everything you say. It also provides for a good laugh. You could check it out and see if there is a group in your area. And don't be nervous about attending - everyone is nice!

  Chat and discussion rooms are also great and you can find a lot of support. Plus you'll see others posting about topics that you've thought about too.

  Try not to feel too lonely - feel proud that you, like me, got out at an early age. Early enough to pursue a happy and meaningful career or your choosing, not the society's. You can follow whatever dreams you have, whether it has to do with your career, love or family.

  It gets better with time. I have never been happier and I feel bad for those who are still JWs and lead oppressive lives.

  What would happen if all of the WTS in-house attorneys quit?

  by truth_about_the_truth in

  i was wondering, if the wts legal dept.

  got overwhelmed with lawsuits and their volunteer attorneys at bethel decided that they couldn't take it anymore and decided to leave bethel, how would this affect the society?.

  would the society have to consult outside attorneys?

  JWs currently already use non-inhouse attorneys for certain lawsuits, particularly when the lawsuit is covered an insurance policy and the insurance company has reserved the right to use it's own attorneys - or when they need help with an out of state lawsuit. I don't think the in-house attorneys quitting would have any effect on the organization, unfortuately. They have so much money, they could pay several lawyers to do whatever they wanted.
