  Hello. I am a new member, but your story got my attention because you sound like me...seven years ago. I was married at 18, and miserable for 2 and a half years. I knew I wanted to leave for about 3 months before I actually did, and I won't kid you, it's the hardest thing I ever did. I sacrificed my entire family and the many friends I had made over my 18 years as a witness. Don't kid yourself and think that anyone will treat you the same after. No one talks to me, and if they see me, they turn away like I have some kind of disease. Was it all worth it? ......YES! I have never been so happy. All the free time, to yourself, and all the other friends you'll make eventually, and last but not least, enjoying birthdays and christmas like normal people.(Thsi took me a while to do). I met an incredible person, who my parents won't even meet just because he is "worldly". It just doesn't make sense. After a while you will see what the real world is like, after leaving the proctective, cultlike shell of the "truth". Hope this helps, PARSNIPS

  No windows on Kingdom Halls?

  by just_a_girl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just read a post on another site i belong to (non-jw related) where a person asked if anyone knew why jws do not have windows on their kingdom halls.

  a few other people responded saying that they had noticed the same thing, that they thought it was b/c the jws believe that windows are just an adornment, hence a distraction?.

  in my 20+ years of being a jw and attending quick builds, i never noticed this ... it never even dawned on me ... and now that i try to think back, i can't remember there being any windows at the khs i attended?.

  You are a J.W? I am disfellowshipped. I never really understood wordly people, untill I became one and left my sheltered life behind. I really saw what the real world was like. I got married at 18, as my parents wanted...and it all went downhill from there. Anyway, I just wanted to share my comments. Parsnips!

  Letting go of JW relatives (Long)

  by MegaDude in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been out of the jws for some time now, seven years.

  like many of you, i left a lot of acquaintances, friends, and family behind.. the acquaintances were fairly easy to let go, the friends very hard, and the family, well, near impossible, at least up until now.

  that she should listen to both sides of the story without fear and make her own decision.
