Where have you turned to?
by Robert7 in
1. jw
2. friends
i am very curious, since i am myself trying to figure out where to turn to, if anywhwere.

(i am still debating if i am truly an atheist at heart and religion in general turns me off at least as of now) where have you turned to since you left the wt?

i would imagine that many people who became witnesses had spiritual needs (which is ironic why i am feeling atheist, lol) but have you gone to other churches, stopped going to church, become atheist, etc?

JW's in Coffee Shop Using ME as a Lesson to their Children
by Good Girl or Bad Girl? in
1. jw
2. experiences
i am sort of shocked and wonder if i pulled this same kind of sh*t as a witness.

i already know jw's believe they are better than everyone else, what with being god's only chosen people and all that.. well, i am sitting at my table, minding my own business.

there is a group of six jw's at the next table, three adults, three kids.

I need some advice...my first post!
by Dehliah in
1. jw
2. experiences
i've been around for awhile, but never registered for fear of giving my personal information (yes, that's how much the borg scares me.

i was raised in the org, and left when i was 18. i realized that every religion firmly believed that they were correct, and that forced me to re-evaluate the religion on its merits, as opposed to my insistent belief.

needless to say, i saw the man behind the curtain.

The Snow Day
by WTWizard in
1. jw
2. experiences
in many parts of the country, it is here again.

there has been a snowstorm in the midwest and northeast, and some parts got more than a foot.

of course, other parts got only rain or a measly dusting to an inch.. what this means is that field circus is going to be harder.

growing up amongst jws, i saw the core beliefs as a threat.

be a jw, or die horribly.

but no one i knew ever admitted this, it was all about 'loving jehovah'.
