New user in Pittsburgh, Pa
by somlat ini feel a little odd in posting this..... i am a 39 year old former witness, former elder, former just about everything.
been through much in the last two years... realized not all things i believed were true to me, not all things in the faith work the way i thought.
no anger about the past... i did what i believed to be true to myself, and what others do is their decision.

The same.I talk too much.I say whats on my mind but try to make people laugh at the same time.I try to be open about any subject and I am apt to change my opinions on something once more infos available.Something I have noticed over the years is I do not care what a person thinks of me unless they give me a paycheck or their my wife.

Converting Muslims
by Dr Jekyll in.
there's a couple of posts on here tonight about a carton with dubs trying to convert a muslim terrorist and it got me thinking.. does anyone here personally know of any muslim converting and becoming a dub?
i imagine it must be a huge step for someone doing that, it goes against their religion and their ethnic cultures.

My mother snapped at me today
by collegegirl21 inso my mom comes downstairs to use the computer and i forget to pick up the stuff i printed off, which was about the shunned father's story.
and when my mom came upstairs, i was up getting a beer and talking with my dad, she snaps, "don't you ever print anything off about jehovahs witnesses on my computer anymore.
" that was it for me, "well i'm sorry that you need to find out about the truth.

When I was still at home I would just play along and pretend to be a jw.Sometimes I would show some resistance but I wanted keep the peace.Even when I was putting on my act I would still catch hell.Could not seem to do anything right in my parents eyes.I feel that I deserve an academy award for my performance.Even today I pretend to my boss that I love my job and all the political crap that goes along with it.Being in that org makes one feel like an enemy agent on enemy territory.Lies and deception become part of the game.I was caught reading books on other religions and the occult.My defense was this--Dad I was reading up on this so I would know what to say at the door in case someone believe this way.Tell her your doing research and play along.Pretend for a while.Might as well practice now, you will be doing it throughout your life.

HOW MANY THOUGHT THEY WOULD SURVIVE
by beezknees ini'm sure this will have been discussed before..but i am new here, so i was wondering how many of you when you where active jw's actually beleived you were going to survive armageddon.
i personally being brought up in the 'truth' used to lie in bed frightened of it coming or world events always thinking i was too bad a person to survive, and even as an adult i always felt i was never doing enough or good enough to be 'chosen' for survival when the end came u were always made to feel like you should be doing more as though you could earn your salvation.
i have talked to someone else who i know has left and they felt the same, i was wondering how many of you guys actually beleived you would make it through armageddon

how long did you hang on to the language?
by carla ini have noticed some who have recently left still hang on to 'unique' language of the society.
how long did it take you stop using the buzz words and things like brother, sister, jah, and many others?
and do you still recognize the word jehovah as a word for god?

For some reason I never used it and believe it or not no one noticed.I would call someone by their first name or whatever.Hated to sound like a friggin pilgrim or puritan and that silly brother sister crap.Did not use any of their usual words or phrases that I can remember.I can still spot one by their lingo and the 'bookbag'.
I call it brief case myself.Seen some of their emails at other sites.They use the 'agape' word a lot.....agape this!!!!! :}
