i know some very sharp men and women that remain as jws and that perplexes me at times.

i even know of a jw whose daughter got molested by her jw ministerial servant uncle and she still believes this is the "truth", even though she took her family member to court and won!.

i don't get it..

Have you been able to find security after leaving JW's?
by MacNCheese in
1. jw
2. experiences
i've been a non-jw (apostate, da--depending on who's reading) for about seven years now after growing up at jw.

one of the hardest things i've had to overcome was the sense of security that being a jw gives you.

for example: i personally am somewhat affraid to fly and remember growing up praying as hard as possible that the plane wouldn't go down and for god to ease my nerves; it usually worked.

2. beliefs
could you please tell me just what happens at the congregation level when a baptised brother gets divorced?.

does he just go ahead and do it legally or must he let the elders know?

the situation i am wondering about is a fellow who was separated from his non jw wife for several years after she quit attending the kh.

my texting prowess during the meeting continue to improve...mostly during wt study which i can totally tune out....the talk was actually good....but the best part.....i got to go out to lunch with wife and 8 old friends and knock back a few brews!....ones who have never shunned me anyway so the true friends...true, i can go out with them at other times, but it was nice being with my wife and hangin out after da meetin.

i also brought some other reading material in the back of my bible....hey, i might be able to do this a couiple of times a month, and my wife knows 100% now i do not believe the bible is inspired, i do not believe in an active spirit world, and that we do not have the truth, and that the fds may be sincere, but do not have a clue what the bible means and are not led by holy spit!.....................oompa.

Why do JW's hate EX-JW'S more than WORLDLIES?
by african GB Member in
1. jw
2. friends
do they feel intimidated by the fact that ex-jw's know all about the way they function as an organization?

(well except what happens at the "back room" and at gb decision making meetings)..... is it because they can still "catch" worldlies?.

...or is it because ex-jw's could poison those still in "the truth"?.
