  here is part of my story until i have more time.

  i am know 30 years old, i have been married for almost 9 years to someone who has no relgous ties at all.

  i was baptized when i was 19 due to pressure from my family, they wanted me to to get baptized when i was 16. i think i may hold the record for most comitee meetings probably about 20, i was publilcly reproved and disassociated.

  my story is much like others.

  i have found a faith to call my own, thankfully.

  my parents don't agree with it, though they are very much still in my life, whether it's in my head or on the phone.

  God help me - Just finished Crisis of Conscience

  by Orgull in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i don't know whether to laugh or cry.. a friend lent me coc yesterday and i stayed up most of the night reading it.

  it took me 13 hours and i skipped the meeting today to keep reading, i couldn't bear to put it down.. i am shocked but not surprised at how closely ray's thinking mirrors my own in some ways.

  the part that hit me hardest was.... "conviction, it has no meaning or validity unless it is individual, personal.

  What affected you more, growing up in the cult, or a dysfunctional family?

  by Bumble Bee in

  i think for me, it was the dysfunctional family.

  things from my childhood are finally getting to me.

  i've tried for so long to just push them to the back of my mind.

  by Orgull in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i had my tms tonight.

  for those who don't know me, i no longer believe, but have only just begun my slow fade.. the meeting was unbearable.

  first there was the brother who happily pointed out that i'd missed two meetings recently and that he was keeping track.

  Remember the Movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark"...

  by alias in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ... towards the end when the bad guys opened the ark and indiana and his lady were tied to the pole, the spiritual unleashing that came out and killed, no, melted all the bad guys?

  i was probably 9 or 10 when that movie came out and it literally scared the cheese out of me in the theater.

  i was so glad to be a jw at the time because i felt like i just witnessed the power of god and saw what was going to happen to opposers when judgment day came.

  clearly, the internet and sites like this one helped get me out.

  once i started continuously reading how the organization and watchtower writings were bogus, i couldn't help but get out!
