I just finished reading the first two articles in the Nov 15 Watchtower. It's funny how they try to make people think that all of us who are "inactive" are miserable. I was never happy as a JW. I didn't start being happy until I left. My family can't get it through their thick heads that I'm not coming back. Articles like these just makes them sink deeper into their delusion that all you need to be happy is "to serve Jehovah".

Wifes parents want to visit.
by dogon ini have not heard from my wifes parents, avid dubbers.
i thought it was because they did not approve that we did not have anything to with the dubbers.
we visited her sister and now they want to visit us.

I have to agree with you about this cult keeping families apart. I've been out for ten years and have had a shaky relationship with my JW family. They just can't accept the fact that I don't believe in their religion. They tell me how much I'm hurting them by turning my back on Jehovah. It's so stupid how they take it personally, when it has nothing to do with them and everything with the Borgs teachings. My sister is getting married in Dec and I've been banned from the wedding. She said that it hurt her to do that, but that her relationship with Jehovah was more important. =(

HELLO, I'M NEW AND.........
by billie jean ini never believed a word of any of it !.
raised a j.w from birth, i'd sit in the meetings and at conventions wondering what the hell it was all about and that it was all one big joke and imagine that they''d all suddenly turn around laughing and pointing at me !!
saying something like "haha the joke's on you".

Welcome! I feel the same as you. I wasn't born into the "truth", but I was brought up as a JW from the age of 6. I hate what the religion does to families. It's all so stupid. Rant away, it'll make you feel a lot better.

Hi everyone. Today I turn 25! My friends are throwing me a party. This is the first time that anyone has thrown me a party. When I was a witness I never knew that I was missing out by not celebrating my birthday. I will also be getting a huge tattoo of a dragon on my back to commemorate my 25th. I'm so excited and happy! Just thought I'd share with you all.......
