i have been out of the "truth" for about 13 years, but 9 of those years i was someone who was out but thinking i would probably go back at some point...out but not all the way out mentally.
my family are still active members and i am a little bit shunned, not invited to family get togethers, that sort of thing.
i was one of those people that left and then did drugs and partied for a while.
Hello, lriddle.
I exited in 1979. For two years, I was not mentally free. Then I had a meeting with the elders. The behavior and tactics of those contemptible lowlife men convinced me that no god of any consequence or any sense of good, fairness and justice would ever get near those b**tards.
Welcome to freedom.
Regards,
SandraC

I wonder how many letters Conan will get from semi-literate JW's "explaining" their "lifesaving work."
so, on sunday i left the meeting and was sitting in my car putting my keys in the ignition, an elder pulled on my door handal and opened up.
i rolled my eyes, this man is annoying...anyway he asked if i was going to be around wednesday.
i told him i should be.
So he told you that "you're not in any trouble" ???????????????? Who the f*** does he think he is? Only if he were the local sheriff, he would have a right to say that. You are not a child, and you didn't get caught stealing candy. That attitude burns me up!
i am a long time lurker who has finally decided to post.
i am still in along with my wife, kids and extended family.
i am in my 40s and was raised in the org.
Welcome to freedom and infinite possibilities! I exited the borg in 1979, and got my college degree in 1984. I moved to the other end of the country to avoid running into JW's at the market or any other public place. It has worked well for me.
Wishing you the best,
SandraC
i was peddling my bike along the trinity river in fort worth on busy university drive close to botanic gardens when i spotted.

It sickens me to think I once participated in this evil. Cults certainly can brainwash people out of having "natural affection." My heart goes out to this woman and her family. What is really sick is that they shun her children, too.
remember, you read it here first!.
dear brothers: .
we are pleased to announce that arrangements are being made for all baptized and unbaptized publishers who read and write english, along with their minor children, to be invited to locations where they can hear the 2013 annual meeting program that will be presented on saturday, .
After the annual meeting to which almost everyone is invited, I would not be surprised if there is an insiders' meeting planned which will not be videotaped. After all, openness and honesty could never be the open and honest policy of the GB.
i just happened to wander past my stepdaughter as she was watching some jw videos this morning before school, and i noticed a 'lesson 4' video, about not stealing.
hopefully it's youtube'd already and someone will post a link, i can't do it at the moment.. the plot is simple.
caleb's in the grocery store, and his mom just tells him [off-camera] 'no candy today.
So, Jehovah will still be your friend if you molest a child, but not if you steal a lollipop!
Jehovah needs to get his priorities straight, and make videos that teach right and wrong without threats of withdrawal of affection.
He is from Argentina, but he has an Italian last name. So, what's new?
there are songs that we all think about and remember a certain time/moment.
right now the song runaway train is my song - this is how i've been feeling over the last year.... call you up in the middle of the night.
like a firefly without a light.
"She was just a moonshiner's daughter, but I loved her still"
