  i am discovering a whole new way of life and thinking now that i have left the *truth*.

  part of me still believes in some of the teachings, i just don't agree with the organization, its difficult to find amiddle ground, i just wondered what some of you have decided on, what your beleif system is now?

  Hi yosista, and welcome

  I only recently left the org, but I have done a lot of research into all the main wt doctrines, both before I left and since, and I find myself agreeing with very little that they teach now. I still believe in God, but not the kind of vengeful God the jws worship. I have no desire to worship any kind of god at the moment, so I certainly won't be joining any other religion anytime soon.

  Do you still keep track when the Circuit Overseer visits your congregation?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first faded many years ago, i always wanted to know when the co was visiting my congregation.

  i would always becareful during that week not to answer the door, just incase he came by.

  avoiding them was my way to freedom.. i didn't want him to bible talk me back to going to meetings.

  I doubt I'll bother keeping a check on CO visits. He wouldn't come to see me anyway as I am no longer a jw.

  Another Newbie

  by FadingAway in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been reading this forum for a while and i felt it was time to post my experience.

  i am very comforted when i read others experiences and how similar they are to mine, i don't feel alone.. anyway, i learned the truth in 97, got baptized in 98. all of sudden i was getting prvileges, parts on the ca and dc and had friends that seemed to care about me and i cared for them.

  eventually the love started to cool off, the meetings felt like watching reruns of a bland tv show.

  JW's 'tattling' on each other - an ugly culture.

  by Gregor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was an elder i often was approached by publishers who wanted to report some kind of bad conduct by a brother or sister.

  this led to all kinds of unpleasant, unloving situations.

  the first question of the accused was always "who told you this?

  I never told on anyone, but someone told on me for talking to a da'd brother, but I forgive them because they did me a favour. The elders over - reaction to this "news" was what got me started on my journey out of the org. I don't know who told on me, but if I did I'd send them a thankyou gift.

  what do you like most about the christmas and new year celebrations?

  the cakes, the food in general, the decorated christmas tree, the sense of peace and joy?

  any pleasant childhood memories it elicits?

  For me, it will the feeling of freedom to enjoy the celebrations this year, for the first time since 1980. I will let you know what my favourite bit was after the event, but I am looking forward to it all at the moment

  Thanks doinmypart and elsewhere, I just printed that up. I will make sure it gets into the right hands well before Jan 30th. There is a jw who works at the same place as me, and if I leave it lying around, I know she won't be able to resist reading it and talking to others about it, so the secret will be out early in my former kh.

  Farewell to a Friend part 2

  by wanderlustguy in

  2. friends

  someone i cared for has taken her own life.

  things between us were not the best lately even though i cared for her deeply, we last parted on bad terms and there wasnt ever closure.

  and please, dont ever think it is too late to change the person you see in the mirror every day.
