  What do most ex-JWs "believe" after leaving?

  by EverAStudent in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  has anyone done a survey to determine what faith system, religion, or set of religious beliefs ex-jws tend to settle into after leaving the organization?

  if not, would you care to post what you presently consider to be your own personal religion (e.g.

  protestant, catholic, baptist, jw but not in the organization, agnostic, atheist, ...) and especially what you presently believe about jesus (was he a real historical human, is he god, is he an angel, ...).. thank you!.

  I took this quiz yesterday on facebook, I thought it summed my current feelings quite well.

  Lisa completed the quiz " What is your Spiritual Personality? " with the result Atheist/Agnostic . You believe that god is a concept created by man, one that cannot be proven (nor necessarily disproven) so you choose not to concern yourself with spiritual matters. You believe that people should live for the happiness of a ll in the here and now, and not because you hope for a good life after death. You are a thinker with an analytical, scientific and rational mind, and you question everything. lisa

  Armagedden Suitcase

  by Magwitch in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my mother let it slip the other day that all the families in their hall are putting together a small suitcase.

  inside this suitcase are to be things that you will take with you if given a 5 minute warning that the great tribulation is starting and you need to leave your home.

  my father seemed quite embarrassed that this slipped.

  lol evera, thats very considerate of the mormons to stock their basements out for the after amagonnagettum jw house hunters/looters.

  That was funny.

  I remember having a bag packed for when I went into labor. Then when it was time to go to the hospital, the last thing on my mind was that stupid bag.

  My husband bought me a cross a few years ago.

  I said, "Why would you buy me a cross?" He said "I noticed you were looking into religions and thought maybe you had a chance."

  My .."A chance at what?"

  He said, "I'll take it back. I don't know...I just thought you'd like it...but I'll take it back."

  Me.."a chance a what?"

  I still have it. I love it.... because he bought it for me.

  Ok...moving right along, so far we have:

  1. alcohol

  2. vicks vapour rub

  3. handgun

  4. literature

  5. wine, and scotch

  6. toothbrush

  7. Enough Field Service Slips to last until we can get more printed in the Noo System

  8. Mega-phones to let all non-Dubs know that they are 'goin' down' and goin' down fast

  9. Empty bank bags so we can collect all the gold and silver that everyone's going to be throwing into the streets

  10. A copy of The Purple Triangle so we've got something to watch while everyone around us drops dead for not reading the WT & Awake

  11. gas generator (but I'm not carrying that, and since it's Jim_TX's idea, I say we him pack that to where ever we have to go.

  12. Memorize each other's phone numbers and addresses so the Nazis couldn't find a written list. (so maybe at the practice for the new song book, maybe they could have some flash cards. to help with the memorization.

  The preparing of a suitcase is in direct violation of this scripture <------so now what? do I pack a bag and not tell anyone? Do I not pack a bag at all?

  hi, after a couple of years of 'lurking' i thought i'd join up.

  i'm an ex-dub from vancouver island.

  i've been out of the org for aprox' 10 yrs, after being in it for about 28 years.. i post on "jehovahs witness recovery forum" as 'nightgoat', so i thought i'd wander over here & see how you guys are doing.. recently under went some major shunning from parents & siblings & retaliated with a barrage of 'reverse-shunning' in an effort to teach them how to treat my wife & i.. hope i can be of some encouragement to any, on this board.. my daughter has been a member here for 3 yrs.

  Sending you much strength.

  Are you prepared for your husbands reaction, whatever it may be? Do you have a place to go if you need to?

  thanks ya'll. I knew I could buy it, I was just hoping someone already had it and would share it...or trade it for something.

  Yea, that's it. If someone will mail or email the sheet music to me, I will either mail or email something back in return. You know, like bartering.
