Did Noah even exist?
by LouBelle ini'm shamelessly jumping on the noah bandwagon - or ark - whatever.
considering how many view the bible (basic information before leaving earth....tm) do you think that there was a real noah?
my answer: i don't..

Did you convert to become a JW?
by sacolton inwhat denomination did you originally belong to before becoming a jehovah's witness?.
i was methodist.
i was horrified when attending my first jw meeting and hearing the simple piano music over the speakers ... compared to the live orchestra performed at the methodist church.

Raised catholic, at 23 father died, 3 days later grandma died, 3 days later mother died. I was an emotional wreck as well as my husband. Also, had a baby 6 months earlier so I had a full plate. We where vulnerable when the JW's came knocking on our door a few months after all those deaths.

See them everywhere
by callitquits76 infirst of all let me say hi, ex witness of 19/20 years here - left the borg about 6 or 7 years ago now.. just when i think that i am away from them for good, there is some knock on the door, a familiar face, or something in the media which brings it all back.
how i would love to just let it go and live life to the full without remembering what i went through with the witnesses.. just last week it came back to me again, a knock on the door and i was caught totally offguard.
i made my excuses and basically closed the door in their face but after i lamented on how i should have fought my corner, like i used to when i phased myself out.

YES, YES, and YES. Sometimes I think Iam in a terminal stage of always being PISSED OFF!!! I feel like they stole 20 years from me and most of those years in the cult where bad. It was always not good enough, kids not good enough. All in all, not measuring up. I would like to tell them all to piss off.

Big Love - temple scene and Barb's excommunication
by undercover inwho saw big love last night?.
...and here i thought jws were fucked up.... the whole temple thing was just surreal.
i've always liked barber's adagio, but that music made it even creepier.... jws got nuthin on their temples and ceremonies.... jws are cult lite compared to that shit.... but.... the disciplinary meeting that barb went to with the elders...how deja vu was that?

I love that show. It is so well written. There are so many simulaties to the JW's that it can be surreal. I have flashbacks to what is was like having the elders show up at my home unannounced for a sheparding call (more like an inquisition).

Do You Think We Act Out of Guilt Because We Were JWs?

Yes, Thge guilt is still there but not as bad as it use to be. I know it will take time as I have only been out 18 months. Iam sure time will help in this as it does in all things.
