Yeah, and never change your mind and decide you should not have joined, because if you do change your mind, you will lose all your family and anyone you have ever been allowed to associate with.
Wow what a loving 'arrangement' that would be!!! Should we write that as a warning when people register here?? Or just catch them unawares?
oh, wait.., we're not a cult.

Yes do come back in a couple of years. Even if it's to tell us you are as strong a witness as ever. Good luck in life, I mean erm, may it go well with you.
hi im a 14 year old former catholic trying to find a religion and or faith my parents will drop me off at a service they support me no matter what i was wondering if anyone can prove to me their is a god cause right now im confused!
Don't go to jw's, that's for sure. Don't worry about hełł either.
I found God in the New Testament book of John, but please take your time. You shouldn't feel anxiety about this. You have all the time in the world, and if you decide you don't know what to believe in, that's ok too. You are very blessed to have such supportive parents!! Relish that. Very few of us were in that situation.
am i alone in this feeling?
i wish i could muster the cojones needed to tell my husband "i want a divorce, move away, not be a jw anymore!".
i find myself screaming these same words over and loud inside my mind, several times a day, and yet on the outside my actions could not be more opposed to these inner feelings.. sometimes i worry that this internal conflict will cause me to go crazy.
Keep working on your husband. And be patient. If you still love him.
Yep, some days of faking it are much worse than others. I'm sorry you are going through this now. I remember it. It's hell!!
i seldom hear of people getting df'd anymore.
years ago it seemed there were a few per year in a congregation.
hey people, .
i am soon going into a kh for the first time and i could use some advice around etiquette etc.
i know next to nothing besides the fundamental beliefs of jws, i personally dont believe in any religion, and that stance isnt ever going to change, however i don't want to come across as rude or disrespectful.

Sofia I feel for you!!! You feel like it's high time you started living the way you want to. Life is too short. :(
i hate this religion that divides families like this.
...he might not lose his privileges if you leave the religion and stay with him. I don't think he will. He will however be ashamed of sorts and feel like he has failed as a spiritual head.

I was scared to death. I knew I didn't want to be a witness anymore, but my husband was a believer and my kids. I was so scared that if I left, my kids wouldn't be able to talk to me anymore if they got baptized, and my husband would bring them to meetings. I thought we might get a divorce over it. To me they weren't separate issues. It was an extremely frustrating time. I didn't even come to places like this yet, so you are ahead of me there. I just internalized everything and wanted to scream at meetings etc.
thank god, I gradually was able to get my husband to at least feel neutral about the issue. Some other family circumstances helped, with their timing, to distract him. His mind faded away from the witnesses. Now he's completely out of it, and the kids too. Our family is in tact.
aka how to gloss over/lie about your history.. hurd starts off trying to sell the idea that the bible students were unsure of what would supposedly happen in 1914. this is a double lie.. first, they were not in doubt.
but bear in mind that the end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble.
