some of you remember about 9 months ago when my son's fanatic witness mother ( my ex ) tried e-mailing him at college to preach to him of the evils of higher learning.

he stood up for himself admirably.

she left him alone - but she's back at it again like a bad dream that just won't quit !

This is my name, I was a witness, and this is why I will never be again.

thanks to this site, not only am i free of the mental imprisonment, but i am also free of the fear that the society used to keep me and others like me silent.. i am not a witness anymore because the truth is not what we are directred to think it is.

once we allow ourselves to think, it is clear as day that there is no real basis for anyone to take the title of faithful and discreet slave.

there are folders and lists which contain the names of pedophiles who were never turned over to the proper authorities for their crimes.

where to start?.

i thought about typing out a nutshelled life history but changed my mind.

suffice it to say, i was born into "the truth," attempted suicide at 14, "lost my faith" at this time, beat into submission into carrying on as usual, endured a horrible marriage and equally horrible divorce, and am more or less still in it (appearances only!

What's the BEST thing about being "out" of the "truth"?

for me, it's having friends that i don't have to hide my lack of meeting attendance/service from.

it's amazing how they teach you that only jws can be your real friends, but in reality, it's all contingent upon your religious "performance.

" sure, if you're not going to meetings, they'll try to be "friends," by encouraging you to go back.
