Since You've Left The Organization Have You Turned Into A "Bad" Boy or Girl?
No, I'm a good girl.
But I'm dating a bad boy.
the witnesses say that if you leave the religion you will become a very vile person.
you will probably get vd.
you will get into drugs and booze, your life will go to hell.. personally, i've been pretty much the same guy although i would now be viewed as a "fornicator".

years (many decades) ago, most jws knew what their religion taught.
they could go toe to toe with a minister or priest and make some good points.. i believe today's witness knows little about most of the convoluted teachings and revisions of the "truth".
yesteryear's witnesses got a 9/10.
In my congregation they range from 0 to 6. Generally about 3.
many of us needed time to get away from this religion.
i took the course of fading and it's worked pretty well for me.
after i saw sooooo many silly rules being enforced, i needed to get out!.
minimus: Lol, I just reread my post and realized that almost all of my reasons had to do with sex! There are a few others though, including blood transfusions.

The "Men are good, women are inferior" vibe.
Their "men are heads, women must obey" teachings.
The "Sex is bad to think about" attitude.
No masturbating? Even if you're married? What?
Their attitudes and teachings about rape...too many to mention here.
Rape can be fornication. F*ck you very much, WT.
Their unsympathetic view of Dinah in the Bible.
Their use of the Bible lol.
Dry humping is fornication now.
Their cruel shunning rules.
Their attitude about homosexuals. There dislike those who are gay, even though they claim not to.
Their teachings about homosexuality.
Their blatant hypocrisy, lies, and general deceptive and evasive attitude.
for me, a jehovah's witness does not have a real life!
jw's are like trained soldiers.
they could be fervent or lax or happy or unhappy in their role but they are trained to drone on like stepford wives.. what an utter waste of an existence being a jehovah's witness!.
Well, gee, I only get to pick ONE thing?
Not being able to associate with those "in the World".
i was just reading a funny thread posted by fallen_princess about stupid jw directives and something about seat saving came up....it reminded me of how i foiled the crime of seat saving at conventions....i would just save every other seat and it usually worked saving every third seat....i mean who walks in and picks a seat where you have to sit next to sombody else??
?...............i loved breaking rules i guess..................oompa.
Oh heck. I hate this rule. No saving seats, no leaving for lunch...controlcontrolcontrol...FFFFFFFUUUUUUU.
I think they should charge people to come to the conventions...10 dollars to get in, 20 to get out.
when i was a bible fundamentalist jehovah's witness it was easy for me to dismiss homosexuality as a sin and move onto the next, more interesting, topic.
it is much more complicated than that for me at this point in my life.. i think about it this way:.
what if i, a heterosexual, were raised in a community where everybody was homosexual and heterosexuality had a harsh taboo attached to it.
I these posts.
there was no end to the amount of stupid rules put in place.
one that always bugged me was "no shirts with slogans when doing kh yard work or at jw gatherings.
id always get talked to about it when i'd wear shirts with a band on it or whatnot.
"No slogan shirts during KH cleaning" pisses me off. But at a gathering I once wore a shirt that said "let's focus on me"...I got some Looks, if you know what I mean.
in the key to family happiness book, the wbts says that if you have sex with your marriage mate after they cheat on you, and you knew it, you cannot divorce them.. i was disgusted by learning that.
i only discovered this recently, but i am very angry.
what if your husand tells you that he'll keep screwing other women if you don't have sex with him?

What if you were upset and confused and had sex with your wife after you found out she had been carrying on an affair with another man, perhaps for a sense of comfort and closeness?
