I couldn't have said it better myself, if you don't have priviledges or are not "helping" in the cong. you are basically out on your own, sink or swim.
Me, I prefer to just get out of the water. Screw that!

Allow Me to Introduce Myself
by GoddessRachel inhello.. my parents converted to jehovah's witnesses when they were pretty much newlyweds and raised their children as such.
i was 100% in it until a series of events happened to me as a young adult that ultimately led to my deciding it's simply not worth it.
i haven't had a relationship that could pass for normal with my jw family ever since.

Hi Rachel, it must be hard dealing with the mom trying to check in on you and get you "back on track". Is your whole family "spiritual" or only your mom? It sure helps when you have siblings to lean on, especially when they have also been "in" and realized the same things you have about the "truth". Distance also helps sometimes, when you are a great distance away from the family it may help in getting deprogrammed from a lifetime of JW-ism.
Best wishes.
Serg.

I Talked To A JW Yesterday About "The Truth"
by minimus inhe sat next to me while i was having lunch.
he smalltalked and then asked, "sooo doya think you'll ever come back to the truth?
my response, with a laugh was "nope".. i then remarked that there are a lot of "good" people that are witnesses and then asked him, do you think you'd ever leave the organization?

Sounds like faker in the making. Good of you to further highlight the obvious to him. This seed will more than likely sprout in no time.

To those still "active", what makes you keep going to meetings?
by Cindi_67 ini've been reading a lot of posts and a lot of you here on the board, are "active" members, attend all meetings and conventions, go out in field service, even help with quick builds.
i don't want this to sound like i am disrespecting anybody, but what makes you lead a double life?
doesn't anybody at the hall notice your lack of interest?

Family family family, I'm actually not that bad at faking. The people and "friends" we are close to are all good & genuine people that mean no harm and I do enjoy the company when we do manage to get together. Just like my family and I its not their fault they are in a cult of this nature. Its the org. I have spite and anger for and its the cult (WTBS) that I will always resent. I will not let this org. take my family (Wife & children) away from me, I would rather fake 100yrs than lose them to the cult. They will more than likely experience something one day that makes them think, do research and like me have an epiphany.

The reality of it is many of us wouldn't even be here if our parents would have followed that "recommendation" by the Society back in the 70's. Most kids that are born and raised "in" usually grow up to leave it or do eventually realize that the org. isn't its all cracked up to be.
