  Hello from me!

  by Gonefullcircle in

  hello everyone.. after many months of lurking through my the worst time in my life and then not reading any posts since the website changed hands, i just wanted to say hello!.

  all the stalwarts on here helped me so much through the worst times (born in, left when i was 34) i was too emotional to ever comment, but now i am ready to help others start to rebuild their worlds.. i just want to give all those doubters of that religion hope and help now that i have gone full circle- hence my user name.

  there is lots to say, but i will join in and you will get to know me.. for anyone that is in turmoil with worry over whether to leave or not, i can empathise, but it will be the best decision you ever make!.

  Starting all over again

  i just became a member last week and picked my name feeling free because that is exactly how i feel free at last.

  i have stopped going to meetings and field service about 6 months ago, and feel great.

  there are jw's in my congregation who email me they miss me and are missing me at the meetings but i just respond that i am fine and taking care of myself.

  so much happier since leaving!

  i was loosely allied with the jws thru my teens after my mum studied with them, finally getting baptized at 30. no one else in my family went, my mum had stopped, i used to hang around on the edge at meetings,mainly ignored.once an elder came over and reproved me for having a little coloured sticker on my bible to distinguish it from all the other identical ones.

  once a sister offered to give me a lift out on the work, then another sister, an elders wife, came and said i couldnt go because her daughter needed the lift.

  theres a lot more, it was totally a clique.

  How JW's Label each other (size the other up)

  by xelder in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my experience has been that among jw's, its very important that they understand each others spiritual status.

  this is accomplished within the first 5 min of meeting a new person.

  this is necessary so that they know what kind of person you are.

  What made you think?

  by greenie in

  2. friends

  i know this topic has been covered, so feel free to ignore me or point me to another post for your response, but i'm just curious: what made you first think the jws didn't have it all?

  what it a slow process or like a lightening strike?.

  for me, a non-jw, it was like a lightening strike when i started reading about the blood issue..
