  thanks...

  i am clean and sober. i don't drink or do drugs. i wasn't THAT stupid. i am smart enough not to leave without being ready...but it's nice to know i have an option. although my family cares, they still watch me like a hawk and don't allow me to have any friends unless i'm going to make JW ones.

  my life is very controlled.

  nice to have you here.

  i'd noticed that you'd made four posts today and no one realised you were new.

  with such a grand increase of newbies it's easy to get missed!

  i really need some help from the experts. the situation i'm living in now is that i'm currently saving money to move out. my family are JW's, but actually only my mom is baptised. my other sisters are on the verge of baptism and my dad is just along for the ride and goes to meetings because he wants to avoid getting kicked out of the house for his repeated rank behavior and drug-abuse. he thinks if he tries to do good he'll get one second chance after another, but that's beside the point.

  i was raised a JW, just like my sisters but i was always the independent one and drifted away from the teachings. i went into deep bouts of depression and cut myself because i viewed myself as worthless for straying and being evil. i lived a double life because i wanted to hurt myself... i did dangerous things and had sex to disown myself and the things i was taught. i had a nervous breakdown and was put on dangerous seizure meds for my tremors which only exacerbated the problem. i lost so much weight that i wore size 0 jeans and they were loose... i lost my drivers license and my college scholarship.

  i sitll haven't gotten either back ... my mom is happy, secretly, because likes me to be tied down where she doesn't have to worry about me running off again. she blames the whole thing on worldly people when it was really the JW's teachings, and it was my worldly friends who helped me through it. i haven't been to a meeting since the memorial last year which i went to just to avoid confrontation with my mother.

  they don't ever give me a hard time about the meetings anymore, they just accept it and once in a while telll me they wish i'd come back. i have not yet told her my stance since i want to avoid being kicked out with nowhere to go...but my boyfriend is offering me a roof, however i don't want to make the move until i have my finances in line.

  they don't know i have a boyfriend and they don't know i've been to these sites and found out all about the secrets of the JW organisation, and i have to hide that i'm even on this forum. telling them is not an option...the few times i tried to tell my mom about my real self she screamed at me with JW concepts backing all of her arguments...

  i'm facing the problem now of how to tell her i've been seeing a man for 2 years and am soon moving in with him and telling her the things i've learned through these sites. she won't trust any criticism of the organisation coming from me since i'm not going to meetings anymore...but i feel a responsibilty to say SOMETHING because my sisters are about to get baptised and commit their lives to it.

  help!

  Did u want to leave the org bcause u were doing something immoral?

  by Will2Power in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ..and then sought to justify your leaving the organisation/religion by researching websites like this (to salve your conscience, justify continuing in your pleasurable but unscriptural lifestyle), or did you sincerely leave purely because you discovered certain false teachings, scandals, etc, while still living a moral, christian lifestyle?

  be honest now, i mean really honest.

  (this is not meant to offend anyone but viewed like a survey).

  i left because i couldn't be myself and be a witness...it made me depressed to the point of daily thoughts of suicide. i've always been an independent thinker agaisnt authority figures, a free-spirit, and they just couldn't hold me down with all their rules.

  actually...i first left when i found a friend outside the organisation. i was told that i could not have this friend. i decided to make up my own mind on that and drifted away slowly, seeing how it was just an excuse to keep people under control.

  it turns out that this friend helped me more than any jw teaching ever did ...

  the farther i distanced myself from the teachings the more i learned about myself and about reality. i never sought out alleged "apostate" sites... i found some factual sites on jw's 2 days ago by accident when i was looking for a forum...and i couldn't read fast enough. i was fascinated by the real truth, but i had already told myself in my heart that if god wanted to destroy me for being me then so be it. i have been distancing myself for a period of 2 years going on 3 ... and finally knowing these things the last artifacts of the JW mindset and fear of jehovah, or rather the organisation, are cleared away. i'm free.

  that's usually how they react to you leaving...they say just you want to do bad things. it's so insulting and manipulative.
