  Hats off to you pioneering yknot.

  Welcome. I would second LWT's suggestion of reading Steve Hassan's book.

  Looking forward to hearing more from you.

  Should you ever tell tour aging parents the truth about the truth

  by Star tiger in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  since finding out the truth about the truth myself and having successfully extricated myself and my parents about the jw's, i find myself with a new dilema that being they still believe the bible as a literal book for their salvation as i has read all of thomas paines works and how the bible is not very good for the human family, as they are of advancing years would it be inappropriate to shatter their illusions of some kind of paradise and let them flounder in a moral precipice and wonder what their lives have been about.

  on the flip side once their time has come how would i feel for not telling them their false views.

  at the moment i am in the deist point of view, with a tendency of the agnostic, it is quite a dilema!.

  I will add, there are some parents who can't cope with their grown child not being beside them at the kingdom hall, even without knowing the reasons why. Should the child (an adult) remain a JW just to save them from the psych unit?

  For those of you who inactive, but not officially DFd/DAd, how do you manage?

  by undercover in

  i read with interest the thread about how people who are mentally out yet still attend (some) meetings manage to do continue to do it and it got me wondering, how do those of us who are completely inactive, no longer practicing members of the faith, manage to pull off our new ex-jw life, yet never invite scrutiny or investigation from former friends, elders, etc.. take me, for example.

  i've been out several years now, but have never officially renounced my faith.

  i've never out and out called it a crock of shit to anyone who could make real trouble for me.

  I miss V/Watchtower Comments too.

  Has anyone ever seen TruthBookBlues videos on YouTube? They're hilarious.

  Yes, I think they are made by Wasanelder Once.
