  i'm a former jw or joho as one of my sister's schoolmates used to call us.

  (reminds me of the hojos we used to stay at for assemblies :d) i was raised as a witness, baptized at the age of 14 due to my father's constant pressuring.

  i'm in my mid-30s now and i stopped attending meetings three years ago.

  greetings and warm wishes to everyone out there...

  this is my first post here on the site, though i have spent many countless hours as a guest reading and reading your posts and conversations.

  they have been a great encouragement to me, who as a young woman was disfellowshipped from the society about nine years ago.

  Moxie,

  I have just read the auto-biography section of your blog. Wow, can I ever relate to your story!! I think you are doing a wonderful thing, and it will be healing for you as well, I hope.

  I will be checking your blog frequently. I know you will enjoy this forum, as it has helped me and many others tremendously!

  Hello Moxie, a very warm welcome to the board!

  A lot of us can relate to the shunning policy so you are among friends here. It is extremely painful and I am still finding ways to deal with it. Looking forward to hearing more from you!

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses a cult? (No Exit)

  by sacolton in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is simply no proper or honorable way to leave the cult.

  period.

  to leave is to fail, to die, to be defeated by evil.

  This absolutely, positively IS a cult. If it isn't, I don't know what is...

  On Saturday... I decided to dump all my literature

  by tak in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it felt good!

  i took that huge plastic bin that contained multiple copies of all the books given out by the society, all the old wt and awake's that i had, the year books, etc..... and threw into the city dump.

  my boyfriend thought i should maybe bring the literature back to them and i said "hell no.... so they can give it out to more innocent people.. he agreed.

  Good for you Tak! You don't need that negativity hanging around.

  I remember when I threw all mine out as well...it felt so good. Like the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders. Every little bit of it. Made me feel free.

  I usually think things thru. The exception to this is when matters of the heart are involved, I have been quite impulsive.
