I had a vocal coach who was a Unitarian Universalist. She was one of the best human beings I have ever met. I started attending the UUs and really like it. It is not identified as Christian but rather allows people to choose from their own experiences and studies to have a personal belief system. They are very involved in the community. After the Haiti earthquake they helped build a self sustaining village there. They are very active in climate change and building centers where homeless can get warm, wash clothes, take showers. It is so refreshing after the JWs do nothing for anybody except the borg.

I am now a UU. What an experience to be in a congregation where you are actively involved instead of controlled by some men in NY. I also have found a couple of ex JW groups. One on meet up. One online. Meeting lots of people like myself. It is good to belong....even though damaged....

So, I went to the memorial service of a man I have known since childhood...
by Captain Schmideo2 ini have been on a fade for years, so this is the first time i have been in a kh for months.the deceased was barely 52 when he died.
from cancer.
one year younger than me.the memorial was the standard "read the obituary column word for word, then do the jw commercial for 25 minutes" plus a new twist (to me), they played a video called "around the corner" https://youtu.be/tfccoyp0vsu.

This is what is the crux of JW blindness. They are taught that reality is not reality; They live for nothing everyday because their men in New York keep repeating the lie....millions now living will never die.....you will never get old.....all the while, they age, their loved ones die, they live a pretty miserable life but they ignore all those symptoms. They suffer because their minds are stuck in a man made groove of impossible. they keep buying those worthless lottery tickets that the borg enjoys the use of the money but the people get and will never get anything because it is a huge fraud.

New here...
by Jacobi inmy name is jacobi, i am a born-in but mentally out for more or less a decade at this point (although it was cradual) and about 40yo.
i don't want to say a lot about my family, but it is a mix of going-through-the-motions, semi-actives (but mentally in), some who have left for a few reasons and one really depressed pioneer.
because people fade in and out i have managed to slide under the radar and i keep up apperances of not being all-out apostate but i completed my fade about years ago (it also helped i moved to another part of the country).. i might rub some of you the wrong way because of my views on different things like politics.. i am not a trump supporter at all and neither are most people in my country.

What was your trigger to waking up ?
by CovertsadJW ingood afternoon , .
i wanted to ask everyone here , what was your trigger to waking up ?
i have been waking up for a long time , but in looking back it’s hard for me to look at one event and say “ ah ha “ , i think mine is like a slow leak - like a crack in a damn - and then hold on , because after that it’s just a flood of information.

It was just everything. Growing up isolated, bored, no intellectual stimulation. How the cong was an ongoing Peyton Place. No fun, no real music, no happiness....not even contentment...no matter what or how much you did it was never even close to being enough. When my ex was outed it astounded me how the elders circled their wagons around him and asked him "was it something your wife wouldn't do that caused you to turn to men". The end .........bye bye. The Internet is the societies downfall.

Leah Remini on Paul Higgis accusations
by John Davis ini was wondering what people think of leah remini's comments on the paul higgins accusations.
she has said that the 5 women that have accused him of rape and sexual harassment are not to be trusted.
she says that because 3 of them want to stay anonymous that must mean that they are not accurate statements.
