  hey everyone... i'm so happy that a forum like this exists.

  it makes me feel like i'm not the only one.

  even my mother, who has been disfellowshipped for nearly 20 years still calls sites and literature like this "apostate".

  by Maddie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i want to fade from the org but i am not really sure how many meetings i should miss to begin with.

  is it best to decrease them gradually or go once a month?

  i have a son and baby grand daughter that are jw's and belong to a different congregation.

  just felt like sharing this with you all.

  i was thinking about what started my big doubts with the wt doctrine.

  i remember often questioining certain things but the biggest doubt was when i started some research in the wt literature about a subject i knew a lot about.

  Do you ever fear that they will kill you?

  by NYer Girl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've heard the jws referred to on this site mostly as a cult.

  as such, am i the only one who fears that one day the society will tell them to eliminate all of us who have been deemed apostates?

  i can think of several of my old "friends" who would not hesitate to take me out.

  Were YOU a JW Who Was Always Afraid, Depressed or Ill?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while i was an elder (in 2 congregations), over the years, i saw most witnesses that suffered from s o m e t h i n g.. either a witness had chronic depression, mysterious ailments that were never clearly diagnosed by a doctor, or were in fear.

  afraid to offend another brother's conscience.,afraid to upset the elders.

  afraid to grieve the holy spirit.
