  Long time lurker, 1st time poster

  well where do i start, perhaps will go into more detail later, though briefly - 40 years young, raised in the truth (kingdom baby, which meant i was never going to make it to primary/secondary school/work/get married/have kids....) former ms, regular pioneer, learnt 3 foreign languages, served in foreign language group, married (wife still goes to meetings), beautiful kids, baptised at 15 years of age, regular pioneer at 15, grew up in divided house.. .

  hmmm, will go into my issues with all things organisational later, though firstly want to apologise, for being a self righteous spiritual pratt who did things by the book and sat with other elders/mss and prejudged others for not doing enough and having a wrong attitude about all matters spiritual and organisational.

  i stepped down as an ms over a year ago (they were grooming me to be an elder), havent been to a meeting in 3 months, i knew it wasnt the truth for a number of years and have struggled badly the last few years.

  QUIT PUSHING IT AWAY.................PLEASE..........................

  by Warlock in

  2. friends

  i have noticed that part of, if not all of, the problem with some ex-jw's is that they insist on pushing their jw experience away.. look, you were jw's and that is a fact that you cannot change!.

  converted, or born-in.

  it is a fact of your life.. quit pushing it away!.

  I see my jw past as something that made me who i am today, its all part of my life experiences. I like who i am today and im not ashamed that i used to be a jehovahs witness, and i do tell people about it when they ask.

  Im just glad that im not one anymore.
