The bridge burning has begun.
by sparrowdown ini was feeling particularly hopeless about the whole jws being assholes thing and sick to death of pretending so ....
i rang my sister and told her that i no longer believe jws have the truth and the phone went silent, when i asked her to say something she just said if that was the case then she would have to hang up on me and then proceeded to indeed hang up..
so i texted her back immediately with fu..

I wish you luck in whatever happens, you never know how your sister will react in the future, my family still talk to me and they know how I feel, I have just made sure I dropped all my JW acquaintances and the only JW's I spoke with was my direct family, I don't believe my family wants to shun me, I faded and didn't give the JW's a reason to DF me. -

by Guy Montag ini used to be jon preston.

You are going through what all off us have gone through in one way or another.
I left 25 years ago, my husband left me not long after we left "the troof" together, my teenage kids got into trouble with drugs etc, my JW parent were saying see this is what happens when you leave "the troof".
25 years years later I look back on my life and I wouldn't change a thing. The reason why is every decision that I made after leaving the cult, was made with an open mind, living life to the full no matter what has happened. I live with passion and give life a 100% with no regrets.
That beats sitting in mind numbing meeting, trying to cope with boredom and trying to come up with reasons I couldn't got "door to door" and feeling guilty every day because I couldn't keep up with the drudgery.
My children and now in their 30's and are very balanced, caring, responsible and independent adults.
I married a man who is not religious and who is very passionate about life, I do not get sick anymore, still work 6 days and week, I get up every morning enjoying every day for what is has to offer.
I still don't have all the answers, but we have our conscience that tell us what is right and wrong, if we following our gut we will always be on the right track.

Exposing one's identity. When?
by kairos ini've been toying with the idea of just coming out and posting my name and location as an attempt to be available to locals that secretly browse the forum that have known me for up to 25 years.
( "reaching out", so to speak ).
i'm not da'd or df'd, so this most certainly could end in a dramatic confrontation.

If in the end you have to meet with them, take a video of the highlights of Geoffrey Jacksons testimony under oath at the Royal Commission.
1 He said it was presumptuous to think the GB were the only spoke person for Jehovah.
2 This is not a captive religion, member are allowed to become inactive.
Straight from their master's mouth, it is now on video. It is refutable.

What are JWs saying about the Royal Commission?
by LexIsFree ini am wondering if there are any pro-jw blogs/sites that any of you visit and whether or not jws are aware of what is going on in australia.
also, what is there reaction to it?
(i may already know the answer to that last question.
