there are many former witnesses I have contact with, and few visit or post on sites like this. One of them visited for a while but didn't post. I visited a few several years ago but never posted until recently.
I think it's a mental thing, it really does take cajones to register on an apostate site, after all we've been told our lives. I think you can take the number of new posters here and figure the number leaving is exponentially larger.
hey guys, .
i just wanted to thank you all for all of your input, support and help over the past few months.
i've decided to officially disassociate myself from the organization and move on with my life.
i must say that i have always loved jehovah and his son jesus christ.
i have a 12 inch diameter telescope.
i would go outside and listen to the psalms that praised to my god.

and i am finding the adjustment to the real world far more difficult than i ever imagined...i f...it has been about five years since i totally woke up to the fraudulant nwt and then all my other doubts i had carried for years were proved true as well.
but almost all of my few friends are exjw or slack jw's and i feel so isolated...my sons friends are mostly exjw too but not their gf's and they have way more normal friends .
how have you done at replacing lifelong friends and family?
Shoot, wish I could go back in time and be his 'winggal'. It was one of the last things he said.
I'm so sorry, oompa. I hope you found some peace. <3
this site has gone through many metamorphosis over the years.
i believe it is a kinder, less edgy place tan it was a few years ago.
i wonder how many people were helped versus turned off by this place.
Wow. Maybe Trevor has moved to Nigeria and found a new living. :)
thats awful tho, that someone would take advantage of other people like that. He probably was in desperate need of attention....and then when he was exposed, slammed everyone for being gullible, to inflate his own ego.
Thanks for filling us newbies in.

it just seems to me religion in general primarily makes truly bad people worse, not genuinly good people better; and in many cases has even made good people do bad things in the name of their religion.
just curious, a personal poll if you will.
what are you guys' current views on religion as a whole?
I have found a great religious community, a liberal Protestant, educated, free minded, open dialogued, various opinioned church. Most of us believe in evolution and gay rights. Some in my church teach at a local Ivy League school.
I enjoy worshipping in a group. We do many many community projects together. Yes, some extreme religions are detrimental to the progression of society, but don't disregard those churches that are helping society and not hindering progress.
