  conscious of my spiritual need, what next?

  so once you leave, what next?

  have you found anything from a spiritual standpoint that brings you happiness and satisfaction?.

  have you been so scarred by the teaching that "all religions are wrong", that you can't see the truth anywhere?.

  dazed but not confused

  I was born in and baptized at 13. I left when I was 27. I searched and studied more than I did when I was IN. About a year after I left I found that I couldn’t believe in ANY god. There is just not enough evidence for me to believe in what amounts to stories and fantasy.

  You have to find your own way and believe me, the first year is rough. Undoing all the brainwashing we endured all those years is tough. Good luck with your awakening. Many here on JWN are still spiritual, some Christians and some atheists or agnostics. I went from JW to angry with god, then angry with the WTBTS to agnostic and finally fully atheist. I have never had more peace of mind in my life than I do now. It’s a great feeling being free. Good luck with your journey.

  And Welcome...

  In All Honesty Would You Have NOT Given Blood To Your Child If He or She Needed it?

  as a "faithful witness", i never had to deal with this on a personal level.

  i imagine the pressure must be extreme with the elders and others "supporting" you to do the right thing.. do you think you would have given blood to your family member, especially your child if you were in that situation..

  When I was born, there were complications and my mom signed a document refusing me blood. My dad, a nonJW, told the doctors or nurses to lose the document and give me anything I needed to survive. I had transfusions that saved my life.

  Over 4 years ago when my son was born, it was in the back of my mind that complications may occur and it would have been a tough decision but I would have had him get a transfusion if needed. He didn’t.

  I left the cult about 8 weeks into my wife’s second pregnancy and I told her – “Without a doubt, I will approve a transfusion if needed for our baby.” At the time she told "That will be between you and god." I asked her if she needed one, would she want me to approve one? At the time she said No. Now however I think she would get one if needed as she is in her fade.

  Yep, he's just another in a long line of shitty cult leaders.

  I shouldn't have been, but was surprised that nearly all the nightly news was wasted on this bullshit nonevent.

  Who of you ever lied on your field service reports?

  by Julia Orwell in

  2. friends

  i've read a few people mention making up the figures for the field service reports, and i want to find out how common it is.

  i never lied on my report.

  sometimes i'd round up 15 minutes if i'd mentioned jw stuff to my brother that month, but that wasn't falsifying.

  yep. the last 2 years or so I would add one or 2 hours most months. I never was good for much more than 3 or 4 hours a month. I usually was 2 hrs no RVs once in a while a brochure. Almost never places mags. Mostly the tracts which you can't count. I tried really hard not to have RV's. Now looking back, Im surprised I stayed in as long as I did.
