this is a question for ex jw's who have joined another christian faith group.
the purpose of my question iis to find out which christian faith group you chose after leaving watchtower and what convinced you to travel this new spiritual path you are on.
i am interested to know because i personally would like to find a genuine faith group where i can feel true christian liberty as i initially thought i had with the witnesses.
The God haters are every bit as rabid as those that love them some God,
Big difference, "God haters" will only attack an idea with facts, "God Lover's" use suicide bombs, guns, undue influence, shunning, terrorism, bigotry usually aimed at individuals (God Loving and Hating alike ironically).
Bad ideas based on myths deserve to be criticized into extinction. Atheism is not a religion or an idea, simply an acceptance of facts. has nothing to do with WHAT people WANT to believe.
i thought the writer here did a good job comparing the faqs of several high control groups.
hopefully this will be useful to someone out there.. http://thoughtsonthingsandstuff.com/we-are-not-a-cult/.

Cult of dionysus aka the original Jesus effing Christ but with way more booze and sex!
so i was hoping to get some insight on this subject of telling your spouse that you no longer believe in god.
for two people who have been jehovahs witnesses for 20 years together, talking about this seems to be real hard for me.
i still pray with my wife before meals but that's about it.

I stopped talking with witnesses about my "beliefs" and that includes my wife. The way I tell them I don't believe in God is as follows.
I believe in what I know to be true...
The end
been lurking around here for several weeks.
posted once or twice but not too much.
i'm a covert fade at the moment.
yesterday i had to listen to the co from a spanish congregation on the phone.
he said the fds has been gradually moving away from the word "worldly" and teaching jws not to use the term anymore.
has anyone heard this in their congregation or heard the term "non-believers" used before?
i have been lurking here for about 6 months, and being the last day of the year, and ready to start the new one afresh, i want to share the story of our exit from the org.
i have found the personal experiences of others of immeasurable value, (and its been a while since a good exit story has been posted) that i hope this can be of benefit to at least someone.. .
my mother became a jehovahs witness when i was about 9 or 10. i remember initially hating all of the new sanctions put on our lives (no birthdays and christmas anymore) but for some reason i soon after joined her in attending the meetings and eventually got baptized at the age of 14. my staunch catholic father converted a couple of years later.
