i keep hoping and doing searches on the site for people in my area.
so far no one i recognize.
i have a few df'd friends that i lost touch with long before they were out (two who were elders actually when they got the boot) and would love to find out they were on here, but don't know if they plan on coming back.
My wife's uncle posted here a lot in the mid 2000's. We've gotten a lot closer since Mrs. Dazed and I left the cult. I grew up in the same hall as him and met his niece- my wife- a few years later. I would go out in service with him a lot.
I grew up in the Tri-Cities Washington, lived in Lacey/ Olympia WA and now in Colorado, north of Denver and East of Boulder. I have posted my pic several times on this site, but no one has recognized me yet. Still waiting.
well my wife asked me loint blank..."do you wanna be a witness anymore?
" and i told her no.. .
we then went into 1914 and shunning and 1975 and she said sheswondered many times about it.. anyways she said "so what do we do now?
A year after I left, my wife “blindsided” me with this same thing. She told me that she never believed it was the “truth” and how arrogant it is to think you have the only and absolute true religion. She was just going along with it because of her mom and me. She originally got baptized at 17 so she could date me.
Enjoy this. There’s hardly a better feeling than knowing you got out with your immediate family. I was able to spare my 2 kids from bearing this burden. My son barely remembers the meetings and stopped asking to go a while ago.
Congratulations.
Also, try to get your wife to understand that she doesn’t have to play by the WT’s rules. It’s not living a lie to just walk away. However, I can appreciate having some closure. My wife and I never Da’d of were Df’d. We wanted to make sure we could still have communication with our family who remain brainwashed.
I'm happy for you and your wife.

It was good. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
Enjoy!
i've sort of mentioned this as a different possibility in response to other threads but i was curious if any of you athiests all think that life just evolved on this earth from single cell organisms or if you ever thought it's possible that intelligent life long ago w/ advanced science could have made humans and much of life on earth and just dumped it here or made it here.
.
i'm not making this thread to debate, i am just curious if any of you have come up with other ideas on your own as possibilities since all we have for the origin of life are just theories right now.
Anything is possible. However, I only believe in what has or can be proven.
Hit me up if you're ever out this way. I'll buy you a beer.
Yes, but 8 hrs to the west of you in Denver.

7 years ago i started on a path i had long ago given up on as impossible.
i met with my elders and told them i could not justify carrying on as a jw.
i went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (a levels with distinction) in just 12 months.
Great news. Congratulations!
