  "this is to inform the congregation that done4good is no longer one of jehovah's witnesses".

  that announcement was made last thursday after i sent my d/a letter in.

  they boe wasted no time.

  My D/A letter

  by done4good in

  2. friends

  after managing a successful fade, the long thread started by nvrgnbk made me think a bit.

  up until then, i maintained a fairly hardline stance that the borg would need to d/f me if they really wanted me "out".

  but then, i began to consider a few things.

  How far have you come?

  the recent thread on veterans made me think of this.

  for me, i can now say i am proudly patriotic, hell, i even think being "proud" is a good thing.

  these are things that would have seen reprehensible to me as a witness, and even a short while after i left.

  Ever wonder why so many inactive ones never actually become ex-jws

  by done4good in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been considering this often lately, as i know many who have for all intents and purposes, left the organization, yet they still believe it is the truth.

  i know when i left, it wasn't long before i had to really investigate for myself, (after a matter of about three months of just taking a "breather"), weather or not what jws taught was actually the "truth".

  i think, this was because i realized that something other than just my own weakness had to be what made me "give up".

  Agnostic or Atheist?

  by done4good in

  1. watchtower

  for all of you non-religionists out there: do you consider yourself an agnostic or atheist, and why?

  it seems many ex-jws that "loose the faith" have a tendency to go straight for atheism.

  i myself, would consider myself more of an agnostic, as i believe we have no real way of knowing if there is a god one way or the other, and it tends to seem just as extreme to me, to insist that there is not one.

  Anyone still have friends in the org that they speak with?

  by done4good in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask this because i have two or three that know my stand on things, but am unsure of how to go about getting on the offensive with them, about the wts.

  they are reasonable people, and i think if i could just plant the seeds in the right way, it may get them thinking.

  so, i'm asking if anyone here has any real experience doing the same with ones they consider "friends" who either are still or were in the org at one time.. j

  Disassociate or "Fade"

  by done4good in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this has probably been discussed before, but i would like to take a poll of your thoughts as to what you personally would do, disassociate yourself or just fade over time.

  i've been in the process of "fading" myself since november of last year, (last meeting in january, and never going back).

  i have been considering making it official though by formal letter of da.
