I'm not sure I ever thought of myself as a JW - now I'm just an ordinary person, no labels

On a scale of 1 - 10 - How Ex-xjw are you?
by AK - Jeff ini felt like i was still a jw for a couple of years emotionally, though i had left.
then for a couple of years i felt like an xjw.
in the past year i think i have made the leap to lightspeed.

...Does it Bother you,when other Posters Disagree with You?...
by OUTLAW ini`ve been on this board,since before noah built his ark (take note badboy..lol!!

...outlaw.

It only bothers me when the other person(s) feel that their opinion is more valid than anyone else's or when someone is so stuck on their own belief or opinion that they try to demean(sp?) others . I'm more moral than you because......type of shit, get over yourself already

I'm not there yet, but I've been scared ever since Edith Bunker went through it!
I'm there and it sucks! And if I wake up one more night with a comforter on me my husband is gonna die!

How ZEALOUS a JW were you?
by BonaFide inor maybe you are still a zealous jw.
i became a regular pioneer while i was still in high school.
i used to set my alarm for 5 am three times a week and walk a few blocks to do streetwork.

Zealous? No, hell I couldn't wait to turn18 so I get the hell out of there. This was my parents religion and I wanted nothing to do with it.

the propaganda of this site is very strongly anti-witness so your dealing with a lot of intense confliction and reality that is we are just ordinary people who worship our God Jehovah through his son Jesus christ

How old were you when you were baptized as a JW, and what was it like?

it was the circuit assembly.

I was 13, I think, can't remember. But I did it because my parents told me it was time and I had to do it or get out. It wasn't special, I didn't feel anything special, I got dunked, dried off and ate lunch. No big deal. I don't even remember the date and could care less. I don't remember if my parents were happy or smiling or what the reaction was, I didn't care.
The talk wasn't special, I do remember the walk from the front of the assembly hall to the bathroom. But I didn't feel moved or gawds holy spirt or anything spiritual. It meant absolutely nothing to me.

why do you think child molester was so calm in my presence?
by looloo inin answer to the last comment on my previous topic, i decided to approach him at his work so there would be witnesses (in case he got aggressive , which i know he can be ) i needed some form of closure as he never actually went to prison for what he did to my daughter but other victims "minor" charges that he admitted to (he had no choice but to admit to them as his wife already knew about 2 of them and the elders knew about 1 )but untill i had reported him to the police after my daughters disclosure nobody had ever reported him before , had they done so my child would not have been raped and much worse !
any way considering he has told everyone that i got my daughter to make up stories about him that has got him a prison sentence and put on the sex offenders registar for life he was very calm when i appeared with no notice and even greeted me by my name , he tried to convince me my child made it all up and it was "all in her head" bla bla which you would think would make me want to hit him but i felt detached as though it was not really happening , i had waited years for that moment and didnt want to blow it by being violent and perhaps arrested , i told him what i thought of him very calmly and he even admitted something to me that he had denied to the police ,and the reason why my childs charges were dropped !
his answer to me about the way he had led his life was that he is an imperfect man with sinful desires !!!!!!!

he swore to jehovah that his conscience was clear at that point i realised what a pointless waste of time it was trying to get him to admit it and walked away with my clear conscience .
Why would you need your conscience to be clear? You didn't do anything wrong, except not kill the bastard.
I'm sorry your child was abused by this scumbag, I hope she (or he I can't remember) is doing well now.

I think I understand... I am being shunned...
by Almost_Did_It ini think i finally realize whats been happening... as i said earlier, i almost took the plunge knee-deep into becoming a jw... i had many confrontations with my wife and others in my family, but i still continued to push forward.... .
itd been almost 2 years since i first was indoctrinated and 1.5 years since i have been studying... i studied with a friend who was also a co-worker.
we studied before or after work because it was convenient for us both.. .

Now that's funny! Move on is the best thing and be thankfull to whomever/whatever that you didn't get dunked.
