Is it the JW's or the God of the bible you no longer believe?
by reniaa in

i have a question for the ex-jw's on this forum after months of reading the forum..... many say how good it is to be free of the oppressiveness of the jw's that they can now enjoy the freedom to... have sex, celebrate christmas, gamble, embrace politics etc.

there are still biblical scriptures and principles in place that if you still followed the bible would mean you avoid these things and yet these are now embraced as one of the perks of no longer being a jw so in my confusion i ask.... if these are what you want, isn't it more correct to say you no longer follow the bible as apposed to just the jw's?.

Is this normal?!
by Lo in

2. experiences
i'm one of those ones who drifted away before getting to heavily in...thank god...but upon arrival in my new house i found a letter, a hand written letter in my letterbox from a local witness saying they had called around a few times and no one had been in, had a special message etc etc and gave an address which is a kingdom hall should the residents wish to contact her.

is it usual to write such a long hand written letter??

i think it's a bit strange.

Do economic worries make JWs joyful?
by undercover in

with the us economy tanking and on the verge of a major collapse if the right steps aren't taken, the average person is probably a little concerned.

i haven't seen anything like a panic yet, but it has been a source of discussion with collegues and neighbors.

to be honest, i'm a bit worried.
