My mom asked, "Why did you decide to leave the "truth"? Then she said, "Never mind I don't want to know." To which I replied, "I have to listen to you preach all the time, you're going to listen to me." We've never talked about religion again after that long conversation.

Wicca information...

by Quentin in

my daughter renee wishes to practice wicca, as she feels it is where she needs to be spiritually.

this is serious business for herit is not a whim, or passing fancy.

she did some internet research and began observing some of the things she found: phases of the moon, burning certain candles for various situations and so forth.

Moridin

The problem with Wicca is that it's like Christianity. There are so many various forms of worship and not one group can agree with another on how to worship. However Solitary Witches are able to get around this problem by working alone. I suggest a book called Solitary Witch by Silver RavenWolf. If she would like to chat have her email me or my fiance PM me and I'll give you my messengers and email.

.

of all the holidays that witnesses shun, this was the one i could understand most.

but after leaving the organization, how do you feel about it now?

Moridin

Like talesin I was always a fan of Halloween and now that I've got kids I'm letting them enjoy what I missed out on.

who escapes more often, those born into it or adult converts?

by kid-A in

what strikes me on this board is the number of adult converts that have left the borg, either fading out or getting df'd.

from my experience (i was born into it, 2nd generation, left before getting baptized) most of the faders or escapees were also like.

me, born into it, never really accepted it and just bowed out at the first opportunity.

Moridin

I was born in it and left at 19. My father was also born in and he left at 40.

How many of you consider yourselves Pagan?

by FreedomFrog in

i've started on a path that is very comfortable for me almost a year ago.

and now i'm wanting to see how many believe a similar way.. i looked into wiccan, celtic, eclectic and other forms of pagan.

i think that i've settled down into shamanism since that was the path my grandfather went.

Moridin

I am also Wiccan. I've been studying Wicca for a little over a year now and am enjoying it. I've studied Shamanism also. I plan to study a lot of pagan beliefs and combine what I've learned to make myself a better person.

The first day you found this site.....

how did you feel?

what was your situaltion with the jw's?.

personally i had left by daing myself 2 and a half years ago.

Moridin

When I found this site I had stumbled across it and was scared sh**less. I was still in, but with many doubts. I read a couple of posts while looking behind me to make sure no jws came up behind even though I was in my own home. I saw a link to freeminds.org and quickly checked it out. I was so scared by what I saw and didn't go to any exjw sites for some months, but what I had seen affected me bc I knew that most of what was being said was things I had been thinking for so long. Eventually I posted on the old H2O board and have been here since.
