  Life after DF/divorce

  by Freeof1914 in

  i am just wondering how many here have gone through the experience of being disfellowshipped and divorced?

  i am currently in that situation and sometimes i am afraid of what to expect.

  thankfully i have a good core of friends, but nonetheless i still find myself somewhat nervous of what to expect in my new life.

  as some of you know several weeks ago i was disfellowshipped for several reasons, but primarily my thoughts on the organization.

  last night i had a very interesting conversations with my wife after she came back from the meeting and several things jumped out at me that made see even more clearly how sick this religion is.

  first of all, several months ago we attended a wedding of a friend.

  i have only posted on here several times, but i am constantly reading what others post.

  i guess i am more of a reader than author.

  that being said i am happy to announce i am no longer one of the jehovah's witnesses.

  What happened to the 1st century FDS

  by Freeof1914 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was giving this new understanding from the annual meeting some thought and several things struck me as odd.

  first and foremost the gb has now essentially set themselves up to be even superior to the twelve apostles, handpicked by jesus!

  according to this new understanding the fds did not come about into existenced until 1918/19... i forget the exact year.

  hey people it's been a tough couple of weeks for me, my wife and i have seperated i expected this, but it has been much more difficult than expected.

  my family has gotten a million times more distant because of my inactive status and questioning ofthe org.

  i do have wordy friends but still feel pretty bad being alone i have even contemplated returning to meetings for the sole purpose of not losing y family and life, but i cannot fathom the thought of bowing down to their rules and sacrificing my own integrity.

  so i had the elders come to my house about two months at the time i told my wife and family that i was having doubts.

  they came by i explained my position and they basically told me i needed to be more humble and just tow the line like many others have before me.

  well i have not gone preaching or to any meeting for two months after that and did not recieve any phone call from the elders, which was fine by me .

  How truly happy are you?

  i am just curious to hear of some you who have left the org completely, how happy are you?

  in my situation i feel like i am on a precipice and about to make a leap into the unknown.

  since i have told my family elders and wife that i will mo longer go to the meetings or out on service i feel as if a load has been lifted.
