Did you lead a double life as a JW? Are you leading a double life still?
by Bumble Bee in
1. jw
2. experiences
as a jw, alot of us lead double lives.

i know i did.. in talking about our situations with my sister in law, realized that i now lead a double life as a "fader"!!!

my husband and i are "out" of the religion (my brother, sister in law and the kids too) but for the sake of family, they think we are still "in" although they know we are not active.

My disagreement with hubby on use of Jehovah's name around JW's...input
by megsmomma in
1. jw
2. friends
ok, this weekend i had a jw at my door and i sincerely gave a anti-wintess to him during which i did tell him i feel closer to jehovah than i ever have and i still believe in jehovah, just not the society.

my husband thinks i should have said "the lord" or "god" instead, because he thinks it sounds like i was being hypicritical in a way.. my take is that to sound like i knew what i was talking about, and to lessen the likliness of him turning his ears off right away, i should talk in a way he is comfortable with.. hubby thinks it is more beneficial to show you are free from their wording and say what you mean from your learning that jehovah is not god's only true name.. .

what do you say when talking to them if you get the chance?.

On my own now

hi everyone - i have posted only a couple times here but felt the urge to let loose a little bit today.

i am 41 years old, and after being brainwashed for the last 35 years, i can no longer continue as a jw - i have not been inside a kingdom hall in over a year, my friends and family have shunned me and i have very few associates outside of "the truth".. now i am not here to cry and feel sorry for myself.

but i would like to hear from some who are/were in a similar situation.

Santa Clause, Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy...
by changeling in
1. jw
2. friends
i recall witnesses saying how evil wordly parents were by "lying" to their children about these characters.

how witness children were fortunate that their parents always told them the truth.. so, i wonder, have you ever met an adult who was messed up because of having found out that santa clause and friends were not real?

are therapist's couches everywhere filled with these poor souls?
