  I'm new and wanted to introduce myself

  by MarkedFragile in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello everyone.. i'm new to this forum.

  i left the organization several months ago, and am on a new path now.

  though i didn't grow up in the organization, i have basically lived a life of pretending to be something i'm not, sheltering my feelings from everyone, and not feeling "enough" to anyone.

  it was only this past weekend that i finally stated (both aloud and in print) that i would never attend another meeting again.

  like many brothers before me, i have decided to symbolize this new dedication to freedom for myself and my family with a beard..

  How's this for Progress?

  by cantleave in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  last year i gave the memorial talk, this year for the first time in my entire life i won't even be going.. i guess that missing the memorial will definitely put us on the elder's radar, so i am expecting the elders to be concerned an interrogation.

  .

  i was going to use the excuse that i will be in a different part of country, but i won't be and i will be at work with at least 3 other jw's in a neighbouring congregation.. .

  I'm new here

  by Diamonds in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i stumbled across this website a few months back and have often read the topics posted but this is the first time that i've posted anything myself.. all my family are jws - i got baptized when i was 17 but started to fade when i was about 20 and finally left at 22 when i managed to escape to university and move away from home.

  ten years on and i am still out of the org but never disfellowshipped (although i would have been if they'd have known what i've been up to!).

  the relationship with my family is not great - i get on with some members better than others.

  How do you handle JW encounters?

  by Girlie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so this past saturday, i stopped over at my parents' home to take care of some business.

  as my brother dropped me off in front of the house, lo and behold, the witnesses from my previous congregation were parked right in front of my parents' home.

  damn..... they were in a car group working a frequent rv who lives next door to my folks.

  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.

  i have been very busy lately but i had to stop for a few and write this.. it is beyond me why the wts has the need to not only lie but to keep making stuff up as they go along.

  the latest being an experience related to the jws at my local hall (a friend of mine who still goes told me).

  was visiting this week and related the following account:.
