  i have just gotten out and am free at last!

  my brother did so a few years ago and has been such an amazing help to me these last few weeks.

  i was raised a jw, disfellowshipped when i was 17, married a non believer and then dragged back in by my family.

  Which Websites Helped You Leave the WT?

  by FreudianSlip in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the website that finally opened my eyes to the wt's lies was this one: http://www.towerwatch.com/testimonies/judicial_committee_meeting.htm.

  it is an excellent read.

  i even wrote to the guy, james caputo, to show appreciation for his courage to post his story on the www all those years ago when there weren't yet a ton of ex-jw sites.

  i started on facebook but got nervous about what JW's could see... this site has helped a lot. I like how for the most part we are not angry just trying to heal... not to say i don't get angry but you know what I mean... when i was a jw i thought all those that left were miserable now i see they are the miserable ones

  here in the uk over the last couple of years i hear more about people leaving/being removed due to apostasy?

  do you think this is true or is it because my radar is up and listening?.

  living apart from the world

  by looloo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  "living apart from the world" is a phrase used by jws to proove that they are "different to other faiths and therefore "right" because jesus said true believers would have "no part of the world" but as a study i never thought they did "live apart from the world as they would go out for a drink, to see a show (performed by worldley people ) go on holidays , claim benefits , work with worldley people / go to school etc when you were jws did you actually feel you were no part of the world ?

  i think the amish and the flds really do "live apart from the world " but your average jw probably hasnt even heard of them !.

  i felt like i was not part of the world and the fact that we didn't separate ourselves like that amish (not sure who the flds are) proved that we were not a cult?! now i don't see it that way

  when i was a jw i remember witnessing to mormons... it was in a way the same and there devotion was strong but the one thing i didn't like was (at least the ones i was talking to) they said they would have to ask ther "leaders" what they thought about questions I had for them? I just wanted to know what THEY thougt? anyway they are another cult I wonder if they have a suport group for ex-mormons?

  ok ... to me it's not totally related to jw life actually, i'm here because i'm used now to chat with people (you know like you go into a cafe and share wathever you want with whoever as this board is very rich and full for immediat interaction), support them, get some support ... i just like that ... also of course it's very interesting at the same time to follow some news and get information that i might spit back to my familly in time to wake them up .... what about you ?
