I live in Sacramento and own a business in the Fairfield/Vacaville area. It's horrible out here (and there) :). Had to reorder my asthma medication. The air is so thick with smoke and residual pollutants from the fires. They canceled my kids last day of school field day tomorrow, due to the air quality.

So where was her love? Perhaps you had rethought your feelings and wanted to come back to Jehovah. How dare she. She will be judged by God for that, for sure. I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm actually glad you didn't react because that would have solidified their thoughts of you as an evil apostate.

Do your words count on J.W.D. ?

Yeah I'm feeling kind of lost in here too which is why I hadn't posted as much, based on how long I've been a member but hey, then I recently decided. I can still say what I feel, ask a question or too because it'll get picked up or someone may come on several months from now and it be of value to them. sorry about long run on sentences. LOL!

Faders: When You Left, did Anyone Give a Damn?
by shamus100 init seems funny to hear how some get love bombed, others get left alone when they fade.
i moved and told nobody - by the time they figured i was 'weak', it was too late - i was gone.
so honestly, what was it like for you when you left the 'organization'?

Outside of family and two or three friend, no one has noticed I'm gone.

Question for all those who feel/felt like God was not there for them or didn't love them. Is it because you're equating God with the JW organization? Just wondering. Thanks.

Yes, most definitely and still do down to this day. If you get (or got) caught up in expecting the congregation to be this warm, loving and inviting group of people, as all the KM's said they would be, you will surely be disillusioned, as I was. However, Jehovah's love for me was ever present. Even when I didn't think he was there, he always was. Which really shocked me when I stopped associating. I still felt his love and presence. The more I sought him out and studied the Bible, the brigher HIS light (not the organizations) light would shine. He still loves me. It has nothing to do with being affiliated with the JW organization. God's chruch is his people. We are the members of the body of christ, praise God.

"Outing" yourself
by sooner7nc inthis question may be stupid, and if so, let the flaming begin.
has anyone ever used this website as the vehicle to "out" themselves from the wt?
would the mods allow this to happen, or would they quash the attempt as soon as it started.

I put my picture up here because I just don't care. In my introduction I shared my story and every bit of it is true. So if they find I'm important enough to watch, then perhaps I'll put up a picture worth looking at. LOL!

You Know that You're Really Flucked Up When....
by jamiebowers inyou see a jw on your street and wait for them to come to your door.
yes, seriously, it happened this past tuesday morning.
i saw a jw going to my neighbor's house across the street, so i waited patiently for a knock on my door that never came (at least in the 2 and a half hours before i had to leave the house).

Since I dropped out completely they have never come to my door. I even moved out of the area. They did leave a memorial tract, and that was it. I keep waiting for them to come. And then my old JW fears kick in and I start thinking that Jehovah won't let them come here 'cause I'm a lost cause. Oh when will the brainwashing go away!!

To ex-JW's who became real "Christians"
by startingover ini have a question.. what is your belief now regarding hell?
a place of torment?
the grave?

I go back and forth because in the OT when God destroyed the wicked, he just killed them. Period, point blank. So if he (God) doesnt' change, why would he start burning folks for eternity now? Was there no "hell" to go to in the OT? On the other hand, I err on the side of caution. If there is really a hell, I ain't trying to go. If there's not, then I'll just be dead forever (if I was wicked...though I'm not) . However, do I believe my salvation is based on whether I'm convinced of it or not, nope. So I try not to give it too much weight. Just try to do what I've been commanded by Jesus to do.

I gave a, man I forget the name of it now, demonstration on stage I guess. And my H/H was allowed to use her bible. I keep everything I did, I have to pull it out so I can read over everything I wrote and how I convinced her about the JW's. Can't believe i was flim flam and bamboozled.
