In reply to KW, how long did it take you to go to the CofE and did it feel weird?
Firstly i want to say something on behalf of all the none believers. They live without a religion. Its just a choice i made to carry on believing in God. I'm not gonna say which is right for ya, but i suggest you even try both ways. Make sure your happy with whatever decision.
As you know the JW's drill into your head that Churches are evil e.t.c and that they are empty and go on about it so much. My first time in a church i was nervous, shaking, i felt sick before going. I worried about what it would mean if JW's had it right and i went to a church.
i sat down and listened to the sermon, nervous still. i dunno how to describe how i felt but literally like i was hovering in the air. i'd been suffering from depression badly but somehow for the whole week i just felt amazing. for a while my conscience was getting me but in my mind i knew that i could get over that, and i did!

having doubts..
by fairchild ini have not been on this board in a while for various reasons.
the main reason being that my best friend died on march 11th, and things have been different since that day.
i don't have words to describe how the void feels, so i won't even attempt.

but your friend would surely want you to live your life and be happy without having to lie to yourself. i can't say anything that's gonna make you feel good but what i can say is that from the bible you can get a heavenly hope. thats better than believing in a paradise on earth thats never gonna come, and waiting all your life for 'end of the world'.
sorry about your loss

When you were a JW, did anyone ask you a question that caused you to doubt?
by Victorian sky inno dotrinal question could shake me, but it was a personal one, out in service that started my initial doubts.
a man asked me: 'are you really happy?
' i couldn't say, 'no, i'm miserable' but i thought it was a powerful question, anyone else asked something that really shook them?

It wasn't a question, more actions of others (especially stepdad) that made me realise...this can't be right. Why would Jehovah allow these things. Only later did i research stuff, such as 607.

understanding the psychology
by neillhowell inhello; i am looking to this forum for some help in understanding the psychology behind jehovah's witnesses.
although i am not a member and not considering becoming one, i find that i am still impacted by the actions of my mother who was raised in the church.
she renounced the church and has been athiest since before i was born, but she suffers psychologically from the influence of the church.

Karl I've always thought you were a very mature and caring guy too despite your young age. I hope that you do help your mum realise the truth about the JWs. You and I have very similar circumstances in that respect and also in respect to our current beliefs.
me too! i am making progress i think but i sometimes break from it otherwise they think your attacking the faith lol
18 in October, Libras are awesome! Can you tell I'm one? (Oct 11) lol!
i think so...yeh...dunno about you but i am partially crazy. At the moment life is ok, its great being free from the witnesses and sometimes its just unreal when you think about what is actually going on at the society. As for my chocolate....hey come back!You've always come across to me as being well adjusted so it's nice to hear that things are better for you now then on the past. Although I heard a rumor that you don't share your chocolate? Shame on you! Shame I say! **grabs chocolate & runs**

Well, Congrats on getting confirmed at a Church of YOUR OWN choice.
I'm assuming Step-dad is a dub and he possibly feels threatened by your presence around your mum (you Independent thinker, you..lol...you may give her ideas!)
Where about in UK are you?
Yeh Phil doesn't like me living there, any opportunity to get shut of me for an hour and he takes it lol, mum is under the JW spell BUT she has voiced negative feelings about stepdad, obviously because there is no excuse for his behaviour.
I live just out of manchester, still manchester just not smack in the middle. About 15 mins from a Place called Ashton Under Lyne -------------- Thanks for your kinds words lady liberty. You've been of some help with your 607 information and i won't forget that
