"Even if this wasn't the truth, I would still stay. This is the best life to live..."

by HereIgo in

i was recently told this by a jw family member when trying to get through to them.

does this quote indicate that maybe such ones have considered that the jw's may not have the truth after all?

or is that just my wishful thinking?

Freddy Franz said the same statement at the Gilled graduation in 1976 (1975 had come and went) so......that;s when cracks in the foundation started.

been reading this site for awhile now.

i have had a long and often tragic life as a jw.

my story is so long because i'm pretty old :) i feel sad i've been locked in fear and guilt for my entire life.

How courageous of you to come and share with us. Going to counseling is the best thing you can do for yourself. Don't look back, except what not to repeat, but look forward to your new evolving freedom. Give yourself permission to take your time adjusting to who you are now and will be as you shed such mind control and deal with your post traumatic stress. You are amazing just to speak up.

Enjoy the rest of your life. There are many here with loads of experience having been a JW and now ex-JW.

Hugs, Joy

Just curious - is apostasy grounds for divorce?

by LifesNotOver in

i know only adultery is supposed to be grounds for "scriptural" divorce.

i'm a wicked apostate in their eyes, but my believing husband and i still can't get a divorce that would allow him to remarry.

we currently are separated - i have left him.

Enjoy your freedom! Do whatever you want or don't want! lol, silly religion and their rules.

There were 78+ xJWs there from 3 or 4 different countries. It was so much fun and I have lots of pictures but as I look at the pictures there are some who have successfully faded and I sure don't want to cause by problems after so many years (can you say cult)!!!!!
