  What was the "point of no return" for you?

  by B_Deserter in

  was there a point in leaving the organization where you did something that demonstrated that you had officially made your decision to leave?

  for me, i think it's going to be when i vote in the general election this year.

  it will be my first action in public against jw doctrine.

  Went to a JW "funeral" on Saturday

  by Dorktacular in

  2. friends

  my brother called me late on the 13th to let me know that a friend of ours - who is no longer a jw - called him and said that his dad was being flown by helicopter to the hospital because he collapsed at home and had no pulse.

  they took my friend's dad off life support on valentine's day and he died.

  well, i was debating whether or not to go to the funeral because i have no desire to hang around a bunch of jws or set foot in a kindumb hall again.

  I sometimes wish I was still In.

  i have read things on here that have made me think.

  i know it's the general idea.

  but the realisation of some of the issues and their legitimacy has made me wish that i was still a witness.

  here is a question for you.

  i'll give a little back ground.

  i was raised in the witness organization however in about 1993 i encountered much hypocrisy and left for about 3 years.

  Comical Memories While You Were A Witness

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in all the years i was a witness, i must admit there were some pretty funny things that i can remember.

  i can't forget the time after i had given a public talk and the sister who played the piano ran from the bathroom to the piano with half of her dress still tucked in her pantyhose.

  brothers and sisters were trying in vain to run down the long aisle but to no avail.

  I NEED TO VENT

  for the past weeks, i have gotten in touch with a lot of old high school classmates.

  a lot of them i've found over the internet.

  after reading their profiles and talking to them, to my surprise, a lot of them are professionals with degrees like doctors, engineers, business, etc.

  for me it was the fact that god is allowing all these innocent people to get killed to prove a point ,i mean it was a big bet he had with satan.. i explained it to my wife this way if i had our children killed in the most horriable way just to show they couldn't live without me how does that make me look?.

  This is my first post after many years of reading this site

  by And He Ran in

  2. experiences

  this is my first post after many years of reading this site.

  i am from the west midlands, england.

  i was raised as a jw and got baptised aged 17, started "fading" whilst at university when i started to broaden my outlook and realised that all the so-called "worldly people" i had for so long been encouraged to avoid associating with were actually often open-minded, honest, generous and loyal people.
