I'm agnostic but I don't really share my religious opinions with anybody because it usually ends up in me revealing that I used to be a JW. I'd rather just pretend I never was and not say anything. Most people don't change their religious beliefs regardless of what you have to say anyway.

Are you an "out of the closet" atheist?
by rebel8 ini'm atheist and not ashamed of it.
however, it is so politically incorrect, especially where i live.
i have a legitimate concern that being out of the closet too much will hurt my career or neighborly relations--i know for a fact it probably would.. i'm really cautious about who i tell.. how about you?

Funeral for an atheist
by Stealth in99% of all funerals that i have attended have been the wt version, where they preach about the resurrection into paradise and say little about the person who passed other than they were loyal to jah.
the other 1% catholic for grandparents.. now that i consider myself an atheist, i got to wondering what do atheists plan for when they die?.
if you are a non-believer what are your plans for when you die?

It's just 12 guys in brooklyn making up rules for their own benefit. There are a couple hundred thousands deaths, sex scandals, testimonies to prove this if you would take the time to listen (which active JW's would never do).

A LETTER FROM MY MOTHER...since learning TTATT
by Blackfalcon98 inso ive recently: joined the forum, read cofc, began reading combating cult mind control.....and today i gotta letter from my mother.
i thought i'd share it with others so that i can gain some hidden insight, and perhaps just to encourage someone else here who has relatives who are still mentally locked in.

I remember when I stopped attending meetings and I grew out my beard for like 2 weeks. Next thing you know, this sister I went to high school with (we were close friends. Now she's a parrot for the borg) texted me saying she knows I'm not alright despite telling her I was and I couldn't be happier. One of the reasons apparently was that I grew out a beard. I have always questioned that and never got a legitmate answer. I would have accepted "it looks sloppy" and it would have been a way better answer than anything I got.

At This Point In Time Would You Ever Subject Yourself To A Judicial Committee?
by minimus ini certainly wouldn't.
and if the elders wanted to have a meeting with me, i would respectfully decline.
if the elders wanted to deal with you, would you talk with them?.

I wouldn't. I got better things to do like getting high and going to work. Maybe not in that order.

by NoMoreHustle inhad a coversation with a very close friend (of 15 years) and understands how i feel about the wt org.
he himself is a serious doubter.
i on the other hand am not a doubter, i know with every living ounce of myself that this is a cult!

It's crazy how these people are willing to go to jail and die for this religion but when push comes to shove they want to keep "peace at home". I thought real truth was something to fight for. If your friend can't do that, then they can't in clear conscience preach what they preach.

Ever since I learned TTATT, I stopped contacting a sister who I wanted to date
by Yondaime ini was head over heels for this girl, but when i realized i was in a self destructive cult i realized tieing the knot with her would screw up my future.
this makes me think of the highschool sweethearts i turned down that were worldly.
now she gives me dirty looks whenever our eyes meet a the hall or at gatherings.

I did the same thing and as the years went by, I realized going after her was a huge mistake and waste of time. "Worldy" women have so much more to offer and are much more laxed. Let her give you dirty looks. You're the one winning in the end.
