Women being in subjection...a sore subject
by milligal ini was raised jw and of course the whole theory that a man is the head and the woman must respect her husband and be in subjection to his authority was ingrained in me from a young age.
my mother, (oddly enough) chose the jw religion, dragged my father in kicking and screaming (he later served as an elder for 17 years) and she complained constantly about men being in control and her pains as a woman in subjection.
now, i already have a good idea about my mother's problems.

Why my wife would never have been a JW!!! I'd would have liked to have seen an elder try this crap on her. He'd end up in the back room lying in a pool of his own blood...

getting over it - how long does that take?
by Switch inin december i started reading things and thinking with an open mind (for the first time in my life).
i'm still discovering things daily that irritate me about the wts.
i've been to about half a dozen meetings since march.

I'm still pissed - when I think about it - mainly because I can't convince my remaining family that it is a load of bulls#$t and then the years they made me feel guilty about everything. I think it will come up in conversation with me and all my friends that have left (quite a lot!) for a long while yet...

by Witness 007 in2008 awake july p.11 "bibles view of spiritism" "...says luis who is from puerto rico;"from the time i was a child, my family was involved in spiritism....i thought my ability to foresee the future and read tarot cards was natural.

Give 'Em Hell, Apostates!
by Farkel inhow far we've come in just the last ten years.. just ten short years ago, the term jw "apostate" still carried a stigma of held-over shame to most ex-jws and they rarely called themselves by that term.
i wore that badge proudly, but i had already been out of the wts for over 20 years by then.
slowly, but steadily the term went from shame to neutral to a badge of honor!

I quite like "The Troof" and "Je-homo/Jehobah" that I've heard here.
Never thought I would laugh at Je-homo but tickles my fancy

JW wife says she loves me more often NOW???? Should I test that?
by oompa ini was pm with a@g and have with others here in the one-in-one-out marriage situation, and have a question.
time flies.....i have been considered apostate for at least two years now, and it seems my wife says she loves me all the time....almost makes me uncomfortable.
i have changed, not her, and i realize that.

oompa - after all the posts you have made this seems like a fairly pivotal crossroad you are at. I think with the passion and attitude you approach things with, you should go for it. I hope with your knowledge and wisdom you come out on top regardless of immediate consequences..

Yes, apparently it's official. I am an apostate. I'll try keep this brief:
I have been DF'd for about 5 years now. I have been teaching my friend's (not a witness) son bass guitar for a few years. He is only 15 and his mum is a witness so still goes. He is actually pretty good now so I have got him to come along and play at some of my gigs for experience. I messaged him tonight as I have a gig coming up I thought he could play at. His father rings me and says there is talk about me being an apostate - not that he cares - but causing trouble with the witness side of the family. I apparently even have a website too! (In my facebook profile I have "Religion is the cause of all evil" in my profile so that must be it!)
The funniest bit is he said it was coming from my family. This family would most likely be my sister WHO'S HUSBAND SLEPT WITH MY WIFES BEST FRIEND IN MY HOUSE AND BLAMES ME FOR BEING BAD ASSOCIATION! (read one of my older post for details) But that's ok because they still go to the meetings.
So, thank you one and all, I finally made it.
