"Autobiography of a Died-Again Christian"
by leavingwt ini enjoyed a number of the points in this essay.
dr. jaco gericke's deconversion story: "autobiography of a 'died-again' christian<snippets>.
it was a little late in the day, however, when i realised that studying theology can be a downright dangerous business for any believer.

And I simply do not have the time.
How convenient and annoying. I rest my case.
Sorry I cannot rescedule my life to meet your demands.
This is not a light topic that I can type out in 5 minutes.
You are asking a serious time commitment of me.
For the sole purpose of giving you an opportunity to explain to me how I "did it wrong".
And what "case" are you resting anyway? That I won't be your sock puppet and drop and give you 20 when you demand it?

Tell us how you became a christian and how you "stopped being a christian".
No thank you, I've been down that road many times.
You are asking for a huge amount of information.
And I simply do not have the time.

Women as second class citizens
by iMARX ini don't know about anyone else, but even when i was 14 or 15 i had an issue with the fact that women are weaker vessels than men and we are to be submissive to our "head" of the house etc.... people just assumed i was a moody teenager trying to be cool by disagreeing with those scriptures but i was a feminist in the making.. i even asked an elder's wife about it and i said to her: "you're a headstrong woman, how do you feel about this?
do you think you should succumb to paul's every word and do as he says all the time??".
she replied: "i hate that scripture too sarah.

I know exactly how this feels, my sincerety and devotion was exactly like this.
DD your faith could not possibly be greater then mine was.
Actually, no you don't. I was never a JW.
Yep, it's annoying every time.....

The truth is, almost any manufactured product you lay your eyes on is really "sitting" on top of a very large pyramid of other technologies. And it is this huge network of technologies along with the infrastructure to support them (e.g. railroads, mines, power plants etc.) that make the world we live in the very thing that JW's seem to detest ---
yes yes TD, that is all true, but check out the earlier post.
Jah will probably use something "highly scientific" MAYBE EVEN ANTI MATTER!
You can crank out pencils with antimatter easy as pie!

Deputy Dog is no more able to stop being a Christian, than his dog is able to become a cat. If his dog did become a cat,
I know exactly how this feels, my sincerety and devotion was exactly like this.
DD your faith could not possibly be greater then mine was.
But today I am no longer a christian, and yeah, it's pretty damned annoying when someone says "you never were a real christian" or "it's sad that the JW's ruined christianity for you". Or they assume that you have never done any study or research on the matter. Or, (my favorite) they assume that you wanted to stop believing (how is that possible?)
If you ever stop being a christian, those numbnuts are going to annoy you too..... Because YOU alone will know how much you believed with every fiber of your being. And your current sincerity, love and devotion will be completely discounted, and poo pooed by your old christian friends.

What can a divorced woman in her forties expect if she stays in the WT?

i thank everyone in advance for their posts.. i know this is a difficult question, and perhaps one no one can answer.

I knew two women over forty that married JW men.
The first one married a handsome self made milloinaire (really, no joke!)
The second one married a JW man in a wheelchair with advanced stages of MS, she became his full time care giver.
I was looking at singlehood in my late thirties. I knew immediately that I would never want another JW man.
Wasn't sure if i ever wanted ANY man again, but I knew for sure that I DID NOT want a JW man, period.
IF she chooses to remain single, her social status will probably drop. Older single woman tend not to get included in social circles, except when it's with other single woman.
She probably will be expected to pioneer, what with all that spare time she has.....

Pouters
by lisavegas420 inrecently a friend told me her and her husband split up because they were moving in different dirrections.
they've been married for years, children grown, she wanted to go out and do things,..new and different things.
he didn't, he would rather stay home.

Your 5 year old sounds pretty cool to me, I love the "lets make a deal" part!
Looking back, I was a pouter, not that it ever got me anything.
I was so unhappy as a kid, and I felt I had no resources, no one to count on, no adult had my back.
So when things didn't go my way, I was just stuck with it.
So maybe "pout" isn't the right word, I would now call it "sullen".
But to neglectful adults, that kind of behavior is "pouting"

He's 70 , but has yet to grow up.
Some people never do, I know a woman in her 80's that acts like a neglected 4 year old and has for the 40 some years that I have known her.
Nice to see your friend getting on with her life, she must have reached a stage where she ws done "babysitting".
