I respect why you feel so afraid but why go to the memorial and pretend to be something you're not. If you dont want to be a witness then fine, thats your decision but I dont quite understand why some still go to the memorial and to be honest I dont understand all this hostility and hate towards people that were once friends and why go there just to antagonise them? If you've left then thats your right to do so but dont spit venom on the people who have the right to still worship in their own way. I dont go along to my local church and sit there displaying a 'Im not allowed blood sticker'. When I first came onto this site, I was told its a site for ex JWs and all kinds of people like atheists and born again christians yet my views were criticised. So an atheist can express his views but not a christian? I dont agree with everything the JWs have done and I know that they're not all perfect and I probably wont go back but I feel really uncomfortable with some of the views that are expressed on here against JWs from ex JWs. Do you honestly believe that God is looking down on you and enjoying your blatant hostility even if you do think the JWs are wrong. Maybe I was naive in thinking that this kind of apostasy didnt exist. Jesus was right when he said what he said in Matthew 24,v9, 10.

Why are EX-JW's and JW's in doubt(faders) so ''afraid" of the elders?
by booker-t ini have been out for years now but i still tremble alittle when i run into an elder at the store or run into an elder on the street and my post question certainly applies to me as well but why do i still have fear of jw's elders?
i have been da'd for so many years but that fear still comes up.
and reading alot of the post here i still see ex-jw's and jw's faders living a pretended jw life or pretending to be happy when they are miserable in the wt.

hi jgnat, thanks for your post expressing interest in my blog. here is the address, http://cornishsparkle.spaces.live.com
Do you find it difficult being married to a witness? I found it hard when i first joined because my partner at the time was so against it. When i looked on the net for info about the witnesses i found several sites and went onto one and was interested to read about some of the doctrines that have changed slightly although not the core ones. I admit i havent looked up any new literiture for a while. anyway, you're welcome to leave a message on the blog. regards.

Hi all again, well I certainly didnt come on here to offend or anything or to cause people to look at me 'cockeyed'. I came on here because i was interested in making some new friends and I certainly havent achieved that yet! If the truth be told, I thought everyone on here was a Witness or interested in the religion and now it seems like I've offended some people because of what I believe. I havent practiced or read about the teachings for a long time so I took the time to look up some information about witnesses and learnt stuff that I didnt know about. I take it James that you meant at Armageddon that millions would die? Well, I always assumed, that at Armageddon, only the truely evil would die anyway. I believed then that not only Witnesses would live but also others who werent in the truth but had good morals anyway. I believed that God would see into peoples hearts. Of course there were some teachings that I questioned to myself but on the whole I believed most of them. I thought they were preferable to the Church where my dusty old vicar couldnt answer any of my questions about the bible and why the churches teachings were sometimes in direct contrast to the bibles. Anyway, like I said, I didnt come on here to offend anyone but I am curious as to why this site is called what it is if you're all so anti JW. Id like to here your views though on why you left the organisation and what you feel the 'truth' is. To JGNAT, I do have a blog but its new and I havent had a chance to write much on it yet

Hiya again. Im not heated at all actually. In fact im freezing cos my heating is broke. seriously, no I wasnt heated when I posted back, just expressing an opinion and Parakeet, yes I know what God and satan are thinking. I have an alter in my room where I talk to them every night you know. I suffer from stigmata tooI wasnt being presumptious at all. Its information that you can find if you look in the bible. Now that you mention it, 'Hi newbie saying hello, obey god or die' has a certain ring to it.

hi everyone again. Wow, I just have to say James you really need to calm down a little before you burst a vessel. What happened to make you so full of hate? For your information Im no longer sitting on the fence and im quite happy and have found my way thanks very much. I truely have no idea why you imagine I may end up 'killing a few of you' although I can understand why some people may want to. You really sound like you hate JW a lot. This is nothing like Ive been taught, nothing at all. I have read the bible and am studying it and other religions for my novel. Im also studying about Satan. is it maybe him that you're talking about when you talk of the mass murder of millions? Im not a JW any longer becasue I dont go door to door or go to the meetings but they are among some of the nicest people ive met. They are not perfect and never claim to be either and mistakes have been made along the way and no doubt you're dying to tell me of some of them Dont bother because Ive heard most of them. I believe what I read in the bible James and thats my personal choice and my view of the JW is my personal choice too. I am a peaceful person but it makes me sick when people attack because they either are afraid or dont understand. God feels sick to his stomach when he sees what goes on in his name and a lot of it is violence and death but i truely cant recall him asking me to go and kill a few. I think you'll find Satan does a pretty good job of that by himself. Satan is laughing at you and having a great time because he's got you where he wants you, and that is believing the hype. i hope you can see that before its too late. Anyway, im pretty at peace with myself and have accepted who i am and what God is about and what Satan is doing. I know the truth, know it in my heart. Thats my opinion. Anyway, to Cellist, who asked what book Im writing? The book is a supernatural thriller about Satan and the battle between good and evil. I am learning so much in tyhe research about various religions and about the devil. fascinating stuff.

Thanks for your posts. Well ,in answer to your question about why I left,It wasnt a deliberate decision as in I thought I've had enough of this and cant be bothered, it was because of pressure from other sources. I was married to a man who was extrememly difficult to live with and who made it so hard for me to practice my beliefs. My father is a Methodist preacher so you can imagine what he thought when I became a baptised member. He practically called me a Satanist. In fact my sister recieved a better response when she told him she was a lesbian!. I tried for a while but I was nearly always sitting on the fence as it were, with one foot in the world and the other in the truth. Eventually, after a bout of depression, I drifted away. A few of the members have actually, even some that I considered to be strong in the truth. these are trying times as you all know. When I left at first I did find it hard but as in everything the more you stay away from something, the less its effect has on you and you become more entangled in the world and the truth seems a long way away. I know the end is near and I know that unless I try and go back I may not survive but I feel that I'm too far down the road! I do still believe in the truth and in some ways it would be easier not to because some members that have drifted lose their conviction in it. I have and will always voice my opinion if anyone says anything derogatory about the truth or Witnesses in general and I will always have a belief in God. My father at least instilled in me spiritual values which were a good foundation for the truth. Anyway, thanks again for your posts. I'm not really sure why I decided to register on this site. I came across it while researching my book and was curious.
