  Why was I so blind?

  by James Free in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now that i can see right through the crap that is the jw religion, i sometimes ask myself - how come you blindly believed all that rubbish for 30 years??!!

  i am so annoyed with myself for that - i have a degree, yet i was totally duped for such a large part of my life.

  and now that i can see how so full of holes it all is, i kick myself for not seeing it before.

  Compared with the rest of religion, alot of what they taught made sense. After all, in most other religions you don't learn anything. It's 99% social/entertainment. It's like the difference between 3rd grade and high school and the reason you can't go back to church.

  Wow. That must be the most ignorant comment I've read in a long time. I've learnt more in about the bible in the 3 years that I have been a Christian than in the 20 years i was a JW. With the JW you get the some rehashed information week after week! After the initial bible study with the JW there is nothing more to learn, no deeper understanding.

  Interesting post! Can't wait to see what comes of that. Everytime they bring out new light there is a mass exodus out of the WBTS. So I say go on GB bring on the new light.

  I shower in the morning so I'm nice and clean to start my day and have a long relaxing bath before I go to bed. So I'm twice as clean I guess.

  If I am disfellowshipped, will my family get disfellowshipped they...

  by LayingLow in

  2. beliefs

  i have some family that would continue to associate with me even if i were disfellowshipped.

  it is known by them that i am not truly an apostate (from yhwh and jesus).

  i have come to a different conclusion than them after three years of intense activity at the hall.

  LayingLow ... your family who are still members in good standing would most certainly be df'd if they continue association with you if you get df'd. Even if you fade they would not welcome your association. If you have been an active member you know all this though.

  Rosalee, I don't agree with you. Before I faded I knew a lot of JW's that still associated with df family members. It's not a certianty that your family will be df for talking to you.

  Welcome to the forum. I hope you find what you're looking for.

  To answer your question, it all depends on the body of elders in your family's congregation. They seem to vary quite a bit from congregation to congregation. Your family should try and avoid association with you, but I haven't heard of family members getting df for talking to df family.

  my ex sister in law called me this morning to tell me that bother had shot himself.. he was raised a witness but stopped going at 18. he was my favorite brother always level headed and smart.. except lately.

  apparently he has been robbing banks in ca this summer.

  he led the police on a freeway chase and decided to shot himself instead of go to jail.. now i am wondering how well i know anyone at all anymore.. .
