Hello,

I can understand where you are coming from because I had those thoughts when I first left JWs (20 years ago)

It is all to do with mind control and been told over and over that they are right.

You have to study the Bible, research to come to the conclusion your self that they are not right.

I have family member who left JWs 30 years ago and recently went back. You see it was because she never really left them. In her mind she thought that they were right she was wrong in not wanting to follow their teachings any more. After so long she has now gone back. How so sad.

You have to leave them mentally, emotionally, spiritually as well as physically.

Thank you all for your imput. Especially for the link to the April 210 watchtower. Great stuff Mel our daughter can read it then ask her cousin why he is not telling the truth re a few things in the article.

Great stuff, thank you all.

Hi Everyone,

Thaank you so much for all your imput. I have copied and pasted your replies and will email them to our daughter asap. I am so grateful that we were able to escape from the cult. It too a lot of courage at the atime and we lost friends and relatives at the time amd my parents did not speak to me for a couple of years but I am so glad that we left before our daughter was a teenager. She got a good education, went to university and is now a manager of a radio station here in Hobart, Australia. Thank you all again and I will keep in touch. God Bless

PS I went back to study as I only went to year 10. I studied social work, counselling and at the moment I am helping a local church set up a Pastoral Care Team with training workshops.

Hello there,

My husband, daughter and myself walked away from JWs 20 years ago so we have lost touch with latest teachings. My husbands family are still JWs. One of my daughter's cousin aged 26years and just married is phoning our daughter up trying to get her back inot the WT Society. She is 30 years old and intelligent but he is saying things to make her doubt what we have told her. he is saying that JWs are very different now than 20 years ago. He his telling her You dont have to go out "Witnessing" if you dont want to.( Do they still have to record hours? ) That they can pretty much do what they want as young people play any type of music and idolise pop groups. He is trying to make it sound really good and that we are lying. Can someone tell me what it is like NOW as a JW. Thank you in advance.
