  Thank you all for your kindness. It is my own situation that I am not seeing as clearly as before, things have gotten complicated. I have many things to make me feel good, like I am not a dub anymore. Thanks parakeet! Ninja I have heard Craig Freguson say on his special, a discription of Scotland as the color damp! It has been raining for three days. My yard is a swamp and it takes awhile to dry up. Decki dear, I love Maya Angelou and I will take note that it says, I rise. Good to hear from you hope you are well. I like you am an air sign born in June. So I rise.

  Welcome, JustWantTruth. I have no family that are dubs. I moved to Tennessee the Buckle of the Bible Belt. People who have Christ in their life are drawn to me, to tell me there is hope for me out there. If that is what you are looking for, do your research. I am still trying to decide if I want to go in that direction. I really don't want much to do with any one religion but am tolerant of all since I left in 2005. It has taken awhile to get here but I have not taken a step to go the whole Trinity, must be saved and Born Again way. I wish you well on your graduation and hope you will have a wonderful career ahead of you. Family is very important so I know how you feel about that. That is why I ended up moving here. Keep us posted when you have the time.

  It Seems More Witnesses are Exiting Since 1995 - From Your Responses

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i started a thread last week about when each of you exited the jehovah's witness cult.

  i received about 41 responses from different people on the board and the years they exited the witnesses.

  i went back and analyzed the dates you gave me and it was apparent from your replies that 25 of you left between 1998 and 2009 a period of about the last 10 years.

  Mr. Flipper I left in 2005 so you can add another one. I haven't been coming on here much anymore. Too busy and too occupied with more important things that take up too much time.

  You know they would still knock on the door, don't you! We were told for awhile to even go to doors with "No Trespassing" signs then there was an article in the km about it and told not to go. Weird, weird, times we live in, huh?

  I like Lady Lee have learned how not to feel guilty, how to have fun, not to blindly believe what others tell me, also done volunteer work, and done a lot of growing up. I am learning how to live by myself, even if I don't want to. Learned so much about myself. Have become more tolerant of others and their faiths. Freedom is a wonderful thing. One day I will be happy again with someone to love but right now I am getting to know myself very well.

  What do you consider to be the prime friend-making years

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i would definitely say that the prime friend-making years are at school and college.

  after that it slows down dramatically.. for those that were born into the truth and left the organization, it is infinitely harder to find and keep friends.

  the loss of all jw social contacts leaves just the workplace as a starting point, and if you happen to work for yourself you don't even have that.. that's why i value this forum because having left the jws i have met a couple of people on here who i have met in person - we all share a common experience.. it takes courage and a willingness to seek out new friends, wherever they may be..

  We were all taught how to talk to strangers by the Borg. Before I was a witness I had many friends from high school, then from work. I made some friends as a dub that have stuck around for years even after leaving. But you can make friends anytime in your life. Join some groups and ask how they got involved in the group. It is simple to make friends just hard getting out to do it. Many of us become less trusting after our experience with the wt. There are lovely people out there who need friends and some you can live without. You'll find your way of finding new friends if you really want to just get out there. Go on a local meet up.com to check for things you have an interest in and go to something. Become an organizer for one of the things you like. Get your own group together.
