  Question: If you don't believe the wts as truth why still in FS?

  by hambeak in

  2. experiences

  i am puzzled, i see a lot of new posts from supposedly active jw's passing out new tract and don't believe it.

  i can understand still attending meetings especially if family is still involved.

  why not just fade away?

  Just my story

  by libidinousfaerie in

  2. experiences

  since i have been out, i am still amazed when i find someone who is no longer a jw.

  the funny thing is, i am always amazed at how many people it is just a casual fact about their past that they don't think anything of.

  the more and more i think about it, the more i realize that most people were just able to blow it off, and then there are a few of us who it actually left deep marks on us.

  Blessing and reassurance - sort of ..........

  by TheOldHippie in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  some ten years ago, i was on a business trip in germany and visited a congregation in frankfurt a.m. a very lively one, comments from the audience, small bags with candy being passed along, very friendly people, just the way you would like a congregation to be.

  people massed up to greet me after the meeting; then sort of "floating" towards me, the other ones giving room for her, comes a very small, fagile, old woman, and she had this sort of radiance around her, shining - and i am not joking, neither was i stoned, i was just experiencing depressions and generally a hard and tough period of my life - anyway, she comes up to me, quietly bends my head down towards her, kisses my forehead and says, "my son", looks at me with her shining eyes - and disappears in the crowd.

  "she is one of the remnant", says the one next in line to greet me.. i felt blessed somehow, as if she had "read me" and then told me that "it's all going to be ok, you are ok, just stick to the course and abide in jesus, and things will turn out just fine".

  Thanksgiving just around the corner

  by Little Bo Peep in

  2. beliefs

  i think most posters here, being exjw's probably celebrate thanksgiving.

  even loyal jw's actually do, even though they are careful to tell anyone seeing that big turkey with all the fixins, "we aren't really celebrating thanksgiving, but everyone could get together today".

  that is what i remember saying.

  my last post doubled up and i ended up seeing it twice, when it should have been once.

  so i though i would just edit it and make it into another topic related to high school.

  prom!

  Did you like your High School years?

  by free2beme in

  recently i got a e-mail on my myspace account from someone i went to high school with.

  of all 400 people in my graduating class, i keep in touch with one and it is maybe a e-mail or christmas card once a year.

  i was a very shy person in high school, graduated in 1989, a mix between a person wanting to be a witness and someone wanting to have some worldly fun.

  Inactive/Faded JWs

  by Chameleon in

  when the active jws come to your door, do you listen and take whatever they're offering, or do you not open the door?

  when i move out (which i hope is soon), i'm planning to fade, but i am sure that my father (elder) will insist on knowing which cong.

  i'm attending.

  "let each one of you individually so love his wife as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.

  1) suppose you received a gift-wrapped package with a label that read: "handle with care.

  handle with care.

  New here

  hello everyone.. i'm an "active" jw and have been for...13 years but my faith in the jw org died about 5 years ago.. so, i've been doing the jw thing for 5 years now without believing in it.

  i might be an ms soon, unfortunately.. i tried telling my parents about it but they said apostates are good with twisting words and whatnot.. they wouldn't even let me show them evidence of wt hypocrisy; however, my mother did say she found it odd that every once in a while, there's that publisher resolution of donating a certain amount a year.

  there might be hope for her yet.
