Dissing the JWs....
by ScoobySnax ini've been inactive for a few years now, and yet, despite all i read, i can't feel as you mostly all do.
i have a lot of happy memories of being "in the truth" (and i know how much some here hate that line) and fond memories of the meetings and assemblies, sure it was much easier to break away and live life like i am now,..... but well, thats just how i feel.
i can understand those that may leave for personal reasons, but not sure i'll ever understand some here who have such a hatred of anything jw related.

Sorry about my delay in replying to your posts, had a couple of crap long long days at work, but thanks anyway. Where to start, well been inactive for almost 10 years now, haven't been regularly to the KH since then. I suppose some would say that I was "lucky" in that I was raised by a mother who was a witness and a father who wasn't, so I really got to almost pick and choose as I reached my teens, I didn't get any pressure either way. If I went to the meetings, I did, if I didn't want to, well then I wouldn't. Basically it was up to me. I had good parents, that let me choose what path to take and never judged me adversely one way or the other. I realise not all of you have had this luxury, and I can understand where alot of the anger comes from in many here. (and I really do) I still go to the memorial each year and the Distict convention at Twickenham in London, not because I think I should or have to, but because I want to, I still honestly feel that it is "right" and the "truth" that is just my personal opinion against the majority presented otherwise here. going back to the meetings full time is another matter. Alot of personal experiences are written here, and many are really sad experiences. The point of the post was just my recollections.
I'm sorry if as Dan the Man said that my posts are usually bland and void of any real content, they probably are, I'm not really a great intellectual (lol.as my posts bear out!!) Remember though that your assertion of my posts "being annoying, seeing the same basic lump us all together posts" sounds almost identical from this side of the fence too at times!! Big Tex's post made alot of sense to me, I suppose for many it is like an acrimonious divorce. Thankyou NakedM too for such a "balanced reply" to my "balanced post!" and Kelpie too. Six of Nine, again sorry you can't accept that I can stand on the peripherary and tell it as I see it, or probably more as I feel about it. As I said we can agree to diasagree. Thanks again! .......now where is that beer......... Scott

SixofNine...... It was you who said I was of lower intelligence, not the other way round. You are more than entitled to your opinion, just as I am mine. Of course I think my viewpoint is intelligent, else I wouldn't believe in it, I don't however do this for effect in the group setting you say, I was just throwing my feelings open to this forum. I hope I wasn't aggresive in my post, but I feel you are becoming increasingly so. We can agree to disagree you know. Take care.

S of 9..... "you sincerely hope not"? .....I really haven't got much else to say to you. You sum it up perfectly yourself "Why would I want to understand"...... yes, why would you.

Well W.H. Where do I start!!! It was never a doctrinal issue that I faded on, just a personal issue/struggle that I had to deal with in myself. Thats why I faded, not coz I wanted to, just because I didn't want to stay and be a hypocrite at the time. and I suppose in my case, after being away for such a long while, the road back seems even harder. I'm not sure where I'll go from here, but I know I'll keep looking and trying.

....oh and thanks SixofNine for your judgement on me. Of course you must be of high inteligence to hold your position as the majority here do, whereas, silly ol' me, who doesn't follow the majority line is just plain stupid. Thanks for the info. Maybe your conscience, sense of justice and love of fellow man that you speak of, will understand how I feel some day soon.
