my very personal history!

by weary in

my history: i grew up as one of jw's.

parents are still.

both brothers have been df'd.

I'd probably fade also after listening to the example of the "fine Witness" couple who would not give their daughter the bone marrow transplant. I'd give my own life if it meant having my daughter live, I cannot comprend how parents can let a religion decide life threating decisions for them.

Did you ever think you'd stop being one of Jehovah's Witnesses?

by sandy in

i'm sure this question has been asked before .

i've come a long way in my thinking.

a very long way!

I never thought I would leave, although I never took great joy in being a Witnoid either. I guess I thought the end would come when I was a teenager.

When I first got d/f I was "ashamed" and if I saw another JW I would feel bad for days. Luckily that feeling as passed. Now when/if I see a Witness I feel proud and imagine that they are secretly envious of me because of my freedom (which they probably are anyways).

Woofer

These men would love to sit in on a Thursday night meeting then . .how much more dull can you get??? Or perhaps be a party to a "witness get together" and sing Kingdum Melodies.

the setting is this dashboard confessional's concert.. but i've never been to a concert, so i was wondering what the hell are you supposed to do?

just stand around and jump up and down?.

i just posted this on another thread and decided to post my own thread about it.. a few posters here that know me personally know about my amazing wife.

i had a very hard time accepting what i have learned about her.

she has a gift she has kept from the world until she was in her 30's.

Woofer

I loved your story Lilly.

They say everyone has psychic abilities . .you just need to learn how to tap into them. If I knew how to do it, I would.

Dealing with the Different Personality Types on this Board

dealing with the different personality types on this board dealing with the multiple personalities in the kingdom hall.

or life in general can prove to be quite challenging at .

times.. having been a lurker before making the commitment to.

Woofer

Being a JW you are not allowed to voice your opinion or idea different from what is printed . . on this board you are free to (as long as it doesn't get out of hand) without fearing being halled into the "back room" or fearing a judicial committee meeting. Everyone has worthwhile opinions - that doesn't mean you have to agree with them.

From my "disfellowshipped" diary

by AlmostAtheist in

jw
friends

nonamegiven's thread on the walk of shame (walking thru the hall while df'd) reminded me of my own experience while disfellowshipped and still a believer.

i kept a diary from that time, serving as a safe place to vent off the anger and frustration of being df'd.. here is a little chunk of one entry.

to set it up, "greg" was the chairman of the committee that df'd me.
