i've been doing some research about famous witnesses.

some were raised and eventually left, while others came in as adults.

they range from sports players, musicians, and entertainers.

My Mum always said she was a JW..True

She is known for the big haunted eyes of girls.

Of course not, I got my manners from my Catholic Grandmother.

Even at the hall I said hello. Kind of scared one young girl, and her mother glared at me. F- that mother. (long unfair story)

On the other hand, a close relative got the big D and it got back to the elders. So they kept relative out an extra 6 months. Such love, NOT!

Very close friend, like the sister I never had, got it at 16. We didnt change a thing . But were quite about it. Actually we had even more fun. Rebels that we were.

What Happened to the Religion I Left in 1995?

josh here, new to the board.

glad to know this site is here.. i would not be writing this if it were not 2014. i was a ministerial servant and regular pioneer who left the jehovahs witnesses back in 1995/96, around that time.

i left suddenly, didnt fade away, just left when something clicked one day in my head during the morning shower and made me realize this religion wasnt true.

Darth Frosty has a good topic on introverts. It helped me understand a few things about myself.

It could be your personality type, plus how you were raised.

I have had simular issues.

Read some more , it can be very liberating. You need to lose that last sentance mentality.

Dont give up.

any help would be greatly appreciated.. zed.

I can't answer your question Zed.

We used to have a very interesting/intelligent group from Norway back in the day.

Maybe they will read this and give you a real answer.

(that is if they can still post here)

coming from a florist and imagining the messages behind flowers.

just keep it simple . ie 2 dozen red roses is not a good idea.

a small wild flower bouquet in a simple maison jar with a hand writen note saying you enjoyed her company,

would bring a smile .

Her responce will tell you her feelings.

I just think we get so complecated from our upbringing, to the point of not even taking the risk of finding a Love.

Take it!

edit..

PS

you take the risk and I will too.

I'm just a silly former florist and love flowers and Love.

I would have done the same thing as Ayesha's parents.

Cancer treatment is a Big Buisness in of itself. The hospitol Lied about avalible treatment for their son.

I read a very old book called I was a Medical Heritic. Writen by a Pediatrition.

He described the Medical profession like THe Church. [RC] . You do not question them!

Now with the internet, a person has access to information and are more informed.

As we do and that is why this forum is here.

supposing that you might say that you believe in god, how might a god of love, show that he really cares about us all?.

to Laika,

Ah, I just have some anger issues in the 'god' area that have recently resurfaced.

Like losing many loved ones in the last few years and now again.

Silly because I am not a believer.

Board fights upset me too.

take care

Laika,

are you saying that because 'jesus/father/god 'died' for us, means he is a good father when he knew he could go back to heaven?

heck when I was a JW , I would have let the Doctors give my babies blood and let god/father whack me . Silly human that I am.

Most parents will take a hit for their children. Unless in a wierd cult. (hint)

War is sick and it saddens me that humans die over it.

A real father/god would not allow:

From a Brown Recluse spider, cancer, aids. to,

Children dying from starvation, when there is so much waste in other areas on this globe.

The wars fought in the name of a god/father.

Gender and child abuse.

Saposied books writen in a confusing way in his name and more killings.

etc.,etc. ..... forever!

Damn it, I, as a parent, would step in and stop this crap.
