  as in..."hi, my name is soa fraid and i hope you will accept my offer for a free home bible study.

  the reason you should accept this free offer is that our leaders, the men who have compiled the material for this study receive direct communication from god, and he speaks to no other religion on earth.

  they then write down what god has told them to, and publish it in a zillion languages so that we can teach people what god really meant in his new world translation of the holy scriptures...you may refer to it as the bible.

  Give Reasons Why The "Memorial" Is A Sham To You

  i wouldn't go.

  i was given 3 invitations to be given to my daughter, my ex and myself.

  i thanked them for the invites and just chuckled to myself.. if you decided to tell a witness why you weren't going to attend, what would you say?

  for the last 13 years, we haven't attended and didn't even care about it.

  but since we became card carrying members of jwn in september, we have an interest in what are friends here on jwn are doing.. for us?

  we will be watching 'dancing with the stars'.

  As A Witness You Never Can Do Enough!

  the jw rollercoaster continues!

  if you still have to go to meetings, i sympathize with you.

  i know a few that keep up appearances so that they do not lose their loved family members.

  Min, I ALWAYS felt like I could never do enough AND when I did somebody would either give you another PRIVELEDGE or throw a bunch of guilt shit in your face. WTF? Priveledges...just another "look at me" syndrome in the life of a JW in servitude of the WT cult. What else would they want? Elder, MS, preacher, sound, Account Servant, lawn mower, window washer, tree trimmer..blah, blah, blah... And you still gotta go to work and do your daily 9-5 and your own f*ckin' chores at home..Assholes..

  I'm new and wanted to introduce myself

  hello everyone.. i'm new to this forum.

  i left the organization several months ago, and am on a new path now.

  though i didn't grow up in the organization, i have basically lived a life of pretending to be something i'm not, sheltering my feelings from everyone, and not feeling "enough" to anyone.

  What Do You Value in your Life Now that you Exited the Witnesses ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was talking with a friend of mine on the board yesterday and the discussion gave me the idea for this thread !

  ( thanks friend !

  ) and it seems as we were talking the thought came up that many of us when exiting the mind control of jehovah's witnesses we really come to appreciate the freedom to think how we want and be able to have access to other views which helps us to have a broader scope , or broader world view than just the tunnel vision of the wt society.

  In the beginning I thought I had more to value but not anymore. My wife continues to be a JW and my daughter has resumed attending. My relationship with my wife has deteriorated. I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place. Life is extremely lonely.
