his parents didn't seem appalled enough to suit me.. they acted like it was a badge of honor of something.. i was chased out of a yard by a dog but didn't get bit.

i think i didn't get bit because i knew enough about dogs to get off the property and then turn and face the dog with my book bag in front of me.

Finally Free,

I literally laughed out loud at the mental picture you painted. Thanks...

I was yelled at, cussed and threatened with a gun but not shot. I had old Watchtowers thrown at me.

How about the rest of you?

Avoiding an Elder

by R.F. in

i'm almost six months past walking away from the religion, and one of the elders has risen and thrown a monkey wrench into my entire plan.

things have been great actually.

since i've managed to shed myself of congregation responsiblities, the elders have gotten off my back quite a bit.

sacrebleu

I say avoid them, but if that is not possible...

Use theocratic warfare... Be just as honest with them as they would be with you.

Hi there!

i have been coming to this site to read news and your stories for about a year now, but have never posted due to my mortal fear of somehow being found out... i have family in as most of you do, who are all very sincerely convinced that they are on the path of light.. i have never been happy with the beliefs, mainly the doublespeak on the status of women, the hypocrisy, the dramatisation of the smallest of matters, and the general guilt trip that was my life until i stumbled across some hard evidence that my suspicions about 'gods channel' were well founded.

unfortunately i am now addicted to turning over every piece of information i can find, there seems to be no end to the amount of $#*& below the surface.

i will probably remain in this state for awhile, hungrily devouring all the information that makes me feel validated for my stand against much of the mindless rubbish that has gone around me during my life as a jw.

Welcome BreakingFree and DestructoGirl,

Welcome to sanity and clarity.

Be careful. Be very, very careful if you don't want to "outed" just yet.
