So why

by bushido8000 in

it has become very apparent to me very quickly that this forum is dominated by ex-jws.

i have many questions and topics to present but i first want to know who i am presenting these questions and topics to so i have 2 questions that i would like as many of yall to answer as possible.. .

question 1: did you leave the organization out of the blue or were you first disfellowshipped?.

JW83

I left out of the blue at 23yo while auxiliary pioneering because I was unhappy, I was realising that my personal morals were not those of the JWs and that I didn't really 'like' Jehovah, his organisation, or most JWs! I am actually ashamed that it took me so long for me to want to get out, and that I wasn't bright enough to really question anything prior to leaving.

After some months I disassociated myself in a letter to the congregation a) to stop elders harassing me and b) to show young Witnesses that some people do actually leave the organisation of their own accord and not just because they want to have sex!

Tony Du Shane's Confessions of a Jesus Jerk?

by JW83 in

jw
friends

has anyone read this book?

i am halfway through it.

couldn't find a thread on this, so apologies if done already!.

It's not bad, very teenage boy preoccupied by masturbation, definitely written by an ex-witness. I have read that it gets a bit sad/tragic. As it would.
