  I'm just so sad and now I'm mad

  i'm just so sad and i'm so angry at myself for believing and living a lie.

  i hurt so many people in my family by becoming a jw....why didn't i listen to my sweet grandfather when he cried and begged me not to become a jw...i truly thought it was the truth...my grandfather cried...he was so hurt....my bible study teacher told me that satan would test me and my grandfather's pleas were my first test...he's gone now...years before i left the religion....i so wish that i could tell him that i am sorry and how very much i loved him...

  desirousOfChange...it is so hard for me to comprehend how those at the top could blatantly lie...but now I see that it is for their benefit.....so shameful.

  And I too was so gullible....I believed everything without question and in the process...I caused hurt to the ones that I loved the most..I am greatful that i got out before my children got older...my son's do not remember ever going to the kh...my daughter was 10, so she does have a few scars...so very sad...she went through kindergarten through 3rd grade having to be different....so she remembers and i think that she will always carry a part of that with her. She actually wrote an article about it for a paper at the college that she attended...if I can find it, I will post it...

  so my husband and i had a long conversation last night about why i no longer believe.

  this is our 10th conversation about all the same things which we have been talking about for the last four months.. he says “you have let yourself be deceived”.

  i try my best to show him my sincerity in my motives.

  evening all.

  my first post - born in but faded 15 years ago before that i was pimo for a number of years.. to put it bluntly the whole jw religion/thing is a crock of shit.

  i sort of figured this out for myself before i faded but reading posts and comments on this forum confirms this.

  hi there this is my first post as i’m not sure what to do.

  my family (both sides) are well known in our circuit and very dedicated to the truth.

  but we’re relatively normal people and i love them all so much.

  I slowly faded. At first I kept getting calls to meet. Eventually they left me alone. As one of the posters said...tell your uncle that you will let him know when you are ready to talk but the time is not now. Hang in there. Free yourself and enjoy life. Take care. My uncle is an elder...I left years ago and only see him occasionally...he never ask me question any more...but I know that he still loves me and I love him too.

  Thank you all so very much. Is there a way that you can respond to each individual that made sent me a post? I'm trying hard to figure out how to do this computer stuff the correct way and also want to respond individually to everyone in appreciation of their post and kindness towards me. I wanted to join this site for so long but was afraid....I'm so glad that I did :)
