To my mind, the Org must go down as one of the biggest cons in history!

Grocery Store conversation with an elder
by problemaddict 2 ini'm inactive here to the local jw's as i have faded.
i've been slandered and all that, shunned by some but not all, but the elders basically leave me alone.
i still run into to people all over though.

Saying hello for first time

it has taken me till now to actually register and contribute.
(actually i did register with a different name in the beginning but never commented).. i am a pimo elder with a fairly long history of senior "positions" in the organization.

Hello PIMOJW
Welcome to the forum. Can't add anything to what has already been posted however, what I will say is take your time. I was very anxious when I first clicked the link to an 'apostate website' ... JW's definition, not mine ... let alone make postings.
As I have personally found out, you will eventually let go of the Fear, Obligation, Guilt (FOG) and will feel so much at ease with yourself.
I hope that your immediate family will, in time, see through the Org for what it truly is.
Looking forward to reading your postings, and of your experiences, in due course.

Why the verb shun is missing from the JW lexicon
by cognisonance inso my parents when i confronted them about how unhappy i am at them shunning me, responded by saying: "you keep using the word shunning, we're not shunning you.
"i am a bit confused how they can say that.
i'm an ex-jw and an atheist.
