why do ex-jw's talk so much....
by bittersweet inso my husband ( who is a baptised witness who no longer attends meetings and pretty much doesn't believe any more ) asked me last night why do so many ex-jw's feel the need to keep talking about the religion even when they have been out of it for years.
i told him that in my case i still talk about it because i feel i lost so much of my life to them and i am still upset about it.
also that many people have lost families and livlihoods, etc.

Jehovah's Witnesses destroy families
Christian religions are supposed to heal families and bring them together
The explanation of differences ends there

Believing in the end isn't that bad because the end comes in any event - when you die. It's that simple.
I watched my mother die in a hospital bed, placed on a morphine drip, for three days.
I sat at her bedside while dozens of Jehovah's Witnesses, friends she had made during her 35+ years as a JW, told her that they would greet her when she woke up, resurrected under an elm tree in the New System. That my friend, was a lie. Believing a lie, even in death, is still a lie
Now, if anyone believed 1975 or any of such crackpot prophecies, they needed somewhere to hang their faith and hope.
Yep. We blindly hung our faith and hope on lies
They did and felt good while it lasted. They got disappointed in the end as they were wont to.
What?
That to is a "system of things" attached to blind faith. For some, the price has been high - but it is all occupational really. You go to war, you are likely to take a bullet or even die.
What?

Wife of a DF'd JW

Sad to say, but if you or your partner is an ex-JW, you will never have a normal relationship with a practicing JW. Family or friend doesn't matter
Their religion dictates that they be emotionless monsters to disfellowshipped ones. Right or wrong, it's the nature of the beast.
My advice? Cut your losses and move on. The sooner the better. Rip off the band-aid

We talked about normal things, relatives, weather, etc. until an opportunity rose up and he started with the
"well you know that the world is going to end soon" routine so familiar to anyone associated with the witnesses.
I was pretty young and dumb with a wife and 4 kids back in 1989. An elder whom I deeply respected told me that there was no way the "System of Things" would last until 2000
Mike Jones, where ever you are, I'm divorced, my kids won't speak to me, I've lost a lifetime of friends and I'm still here.
And I'm happier than I've ever been

Out of the mouths of babes!
by TJ - iAmCleared2Land ina congressman was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when he turned to her and said, "let's talk.
i've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.".
the little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the total stranger, "what would you like to talk about?".

Was that Congressman really a community organizer from Illinois?
