  Differences Between Ex-JWs

  by David_Jay in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we are not all the same--a real "duh, david!

  so i figured if i didn't feel that sense of solidarity that seems missing among the debating, then i was part of the problem.

  i'm responsible for making this place feel like a support and place of solidarity, just as much as anyone else.. but approaches i tried didn't work until i shut up for a while.

  Great post David_Jay.

  What I really appreciate about it was being able to look at other reasons people may have for being "ex JWs". I am on a journey to understand my own motivations and like reading about other points of view,

  Tried One Last Time In The Kingdom Hall...

  so last thursday was meeting day.

  my wife knows my thoughts on this religion and respects my fade and is completely ok with it (which surprised me, and also made me love her even more).

  i think she must know it's all crack-pot stuff but seeing as her whole family are all in and about 98% of them cant even explain their beleifs without a watchtower on hand i think she's just going along for the friends/family/social side of it.

  Great post pale E,

  In your post it is easy to see you are moving through the steps of coming to terms with things and you are doing so realistically with your wit and humor intact.

  That is progress in a direction that will hold good things for your future.

  kudos to you my friend.

  Father's Day is tomorrow (in the US). Why is it wrong?

  by leaving_quietly in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i did an examination of the one single article ever to address father's day since it's tomorrow here in the us.

  the article covers both mother's day and father's day.

  hope it's informative.. examination of “mother and father worship unscriptural”, the only article ever to address father’s day in any publication printed by the watchtower bible and tract society.

  I love that original post, thanks!

  More and more it seems that a lot of the holidays were forbidden to JWs just to make them stand out as different from the world.

  I guess there is nothing wrong with that as long as you state it clearly. To say that you want people to NOT celebrate something so they can stand out as different is at least honest.

  To say that a holiday such as Fathers Day is "forbidden" in the scriptures or that it is wrong religiously with no substantive reason, is dishonest and manipulative.

  Love is Greater than Hate

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. current

  this week has been a really difficult past couple of days.

  waking up to the news on sunday that some jihadist jackass had slaughtered so many of my lgbt brothers and sisters left me reeling and in tears.

  we're a community with common cause and a common struggle and it's immensely painful to see the loss of so many young and beautiful lives.

  Intro

  by Exjwme in

  2. friends

  you can all call me jess, i guess you can say i'm a "refugee" from jwr.

  i'm going to try and keep this short for now, i'm in my early 20s, i was born in but never baptized, i've been mentally out for 7 years and fully out for about 5ish.

  despite never having been baptized my fading took quite a bit of time and work.

  a little background: my mom converted to the witnesses when i was five.

  i was baptized at 14, was mentally out by 18, and successfully faded by the time i was 25. mom and both my younger sisters and their families are still in.
