  Interesting thread.

  When I was a jw I was on antidepressants.

  Strangest thing...now I'm df'd, I'm off all medication!

  Could be 'cuz I'm no longer a WT robot.

  Never hurts to get some honest communication going. What are your intentions? What are her intentions?

  Could get interesting!

  Happy Days!!!

  Finally getting a shepherding call... or so I thought

  by Zoos in

  a few weeks ago i got a visit from a sister from the old congregation.

  she was our uber pioneer, fearless, regular and often accompanied by her husband, a ministerial servant.

  she didnt know i lived here so it was a brief visit after she found out i had disassociated myself.. i got a knock at the door a few minutes ago and it was her husband this time.

  Well done, Zoos! How great for you to be there for him! People on their way out need to know that help is available and they have not been abandoned. We are not islands unto ourselves, but social humans. Members are taught/brainwashed to believe they cannot survive without the WT. What a lie!

  lurkers, debaters, haters, lovers, the lost, the found, and the misplaced.

  it's been a while, and i wanted to pop in.

  the point isn't to agree.

  I will keep you posted!

  the last report i gave in was for the month of may, meaning as of today, i have missed 6 months of reports, and am officially inactive!

  (though the last time i actually went out was march, gave fake reports for april and may).

  feels like a milestone.

  Letter I wrote to the person the caused me to be disfellowshipped

  by jwfacts in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a thread on another forum reminded me of a letter i wrote to the person that went to the elders and started the proceedings to have me disfellowshipped.

  i stopped believing in the religion when i was 25 but continued going for about ten years.

  i finally started to fade at 35, but about 6 months after i had stopped going to meetings, a person wrote a letter to the elders about my website, which at the time was anonymous.

  Wonderful letter, jwfacts! You do indeed have a great website and I have a link on my website that directs people to your site. JWs cannot keep dissenters from associating with one another any more, unlike my mother a generation ago, who was completely isolated and especially since she lived in a small community. JW treatment of ex-members is inhumane and sites like yours make it easier for us. I am also happily df'd.
