I would never have met my wife of almost 17 years....I love her as much as when we got married....she is a JW still and has had a lot to come to terms with me leaving....and although she doesn't agree with me at all...she respects my decision...I just hope one day she sees through the mind control and deceit also......cheers peeps.... ninja

14Appreciative of the positive side of having been a JW
by exwitless inlately i've come to the conclusion that i cannot change my past 14 wasted years with the borg; i can only learn from my experiences and resolve to improve on my life from here on out.
i no longer have to "wait for jehovah" or the "new system" to make my life better; i can apply my own intellect, power of reasoning, and free will to accomplish what i want to do.. one thing i've come to appreciate is that had i not been a jw, and in turn an ex-jw, i may have never actually questioned the deep philosophical issues that are discussed on this board.
i may be stuck as a "nominal" christian (forgive the wt-speak), being content to half-heartedly believe what i was raised to believe.

That's What I'M Talkin' About!
by Farkel incall me a curmudgeon.
there are just some expressions in today's vernacular that are just idiotic, and "that's what i'm talkin' about" is one of these.
it is so ghetto.. several people are saying 'blah, blah, blah, de blah and more de blah..." suddenly, a dimwit in the group hears something that dimwit didn't even mention but happens to like the subject and then dimwit blurts out, "now that is what i'm talkin' about!".

OutKasted ;-P
by SpaWn of MeDusa inhello in there ;-p. wow wow wow.... i never knew such a place existed.... unfortunatly i don't have a lot of time to type right now & believe me i'd need days, perhaps even weeks & i'd probably still feel like i wasn't done.... in short... my name is jodie, i'm from australia, i'm about to turn 32 & i am a jehovah's witness outkast... i wasn't kicked out, i left of my own accord when my parents divorced & i was about 14... my father, my younger brother & me - the 3 black sheep !!
my father was disfellowshipped, he was an elder who also happened to have bi polar... the day ( or technically night ) my father was disfellowshipped was the saddest time of my life - it was more like a death or a funeral, something tragic... when my parents divorced i went to live with dad, i was always closer to my father plus when he left he had nothing... he lived on the river bank in the middle of winter for 6 weeks in a tent ( while his good christian jehovah's witness father & sister slept warm in their beds in the same town... ) dad bought a little caravan & he & i lived in it, eventually he bought some land & built a house & my younger brother joined us.... anyway to cut it all short... i've suffered badly from depression - so badly it's almost killed me & my brother also... the crux of our depression is our mother, our sister's, our grandfather, our aunt's & all of our relatives are jehovah's witnesses - most of them live in the same town as us altho they may as well live on the other side of the world.... you know, sitting here thinking about it all - it all makes perfect sense... how can families be torn apart like this, how do they not realise it is wrong & sad & wicked ??.
i've spent more than half my life trying to have any sort of relationship with the rest of my family.... anyway i have to get going.... hasta la vista .

Complete Amnesty
by zarco inwould you come back the organization if all disfellowshipping/other punitive actions were completely reversed?
if you came back would it be for association with friends and family only?
what policy and behavioral changes would the society need to make to "entice" you back?.

"friend" wise and family wise I would have everything to gain by going back..... but although I am on death row...there is nothing that could get me back there....nothing ...I know the truth and it set me free....woo hoo

Help! they're giving me a talk #4 entittled:" IDENTIFYING APOSTATES"
by dark angle inthis is quite awkward for me to give!
our elder gave me that assignment last week and should be delivered next week on the theocratic ministry school.
considering i have very unconventional views for the wts about blood, evolution, bible, and the gb, delivering this talk seemd quite maladroit.

their dates are all running out of time....maybe they are telling jehovah to hurry up...1914 date is starting to smell ...and of course there is 1935 to contend with too.....Jehovah is so disobedient not listening to his "faithful and discreet slave" isn't he? maybe they should take a hint........
