could anyone scan page 12 of the august awake?

someone told me that i look like the girl in the picture on that page but i don't know if they're just trying to trick me because they know i don't receive the mags anymore.

i haven't let on that i'm not in the org anymore.

what religion are you now?

i'm sure this has been asked a million times before but since leaving the witnesses what religion (or lack thereof) have you chosen for yourself?

and what is it about that religion that attracted you?

since leaving the witnesses i think i no longer believe in god, not out of anger, actually i think i like the idea of him more since i don't believe in him anymore.

to make friends since you're out of the organization?

maybe these things take time.

it's hard to establish new friendships when ones i had for years floated away in an instant.

nearing the anniversary

on the 11th of this month it'll be a year that i have been disfellowshipped.

i didn't dread being disfellowshipped mostly because i had underestimated the resolve of individual witness friends of mine to shun me.

i aslo had no idea what being all alone from one day to the next felt like.

i went through my 10 year stay in the truth not knowing a whole lot about any of the teachings i realize.

i knew of them, knew the rules cause i read them all the time in the km,wt,awake....but i couldn't explain most of my beliefs with the bible.

i entered the faith at 13 years old, on my own and guess what at 13 years old with no parents pressuring me i really didn't like studying.

i'm so drained emotionally from it but i did it.

i learned a few days ago through her ex worldly boyfriend that she had told him she tries to email me but i don't answer, she called me and i hung up (all things she has done tome in the past 9 months that i have been trying to get in touch with her).

she told him i had gone crazy and moved to italy and no one knew where i was and i was not talking to my jw mom anymore ( i moved to italy for almost 3 years to work, study and learn italian and my mom is not a jw!!!!!!

i posted my pic.

(well part of it at least (am a bit shy still...) because i am not scared to be found out anymore.

mind you i've been df'ed for nearly a year now but still had hope 'friends' would remember we were like family and realize they couldn't possibly live the rest of their lives without talking to me again....ha!

i posted this on the apostafest section but thought i would reach a bigger audience here.

i live and study in london.

i've been on the site for a little bit now and i think it's awesome....a bit addictive actually,but anyways i would love to meet real people as well.

i have been on here for only the past 3 days or so....so i don't really know how it goes.. this is an 'apostate' site right?.

so today i've learned that there is just the ol' regular apostate and an 'active' apostate.. but are there actually active witnesses on this site as well??.

because i just saw a topic about someone asking for advice on how to do a talk?.
