Dede, you better believe it, we're not taking it anymore!!!!!!!!! Bill Bowen made a very good point at our meet-up a few weeks ago. He said that he didn't care if anyone shunned him anymore, it was the other way around for him...he shunned them, he didn't like Jehovah's Witnesses!!!!! I use to care what my j.w. siblins thought about me, wanted to keep it quiet about my feelings towards the WTS. Didn't want to rock the boat. NO MORE! It's WRONG what they're doing and we all have to start speaking up against it! If my coming forth and speaking up will help one person, then it's worth it to me.

I'm having my surgury Thursday morning. I should be home by Friday, if all goes well. I'm dreading it, but ready to get it over with!

I sure hope that you and Wild Turkey will be able to come visit us this fall! It would be great to have you!!!!!!! CC and I would love it!!! We have plenty of room, so you guys can spend the night! I'm gonna add you to my email list also, that way when I send out certain emails, you can get them also.

why did you leave?

by showme in

i am not a jw so i don't have any stories about the organization.

but i would love to hear about your reasons for leaving.

Tinkerbell4125

I was born into it. I left when I educated myself on the history of the WTS. When I opened my eyes and realized it was a cult, I disassociated myself.

Thank God for the internet!!!!!!!!

See, this is what I don't get......I sent all the info out to some of my non-j.w. siblins about what Silentlambs was all about. I haven't recived a word from my sister that I sent this to. As myself, she was molested, and I would have thought of all the people, she would be someone that would have taken an interest in helping victoms *survivors* of abuse. Even though she's not a witness, never was, she is very close to my brother whom is a elder. She may have mentioned my email to him and she is taking his side. I don't know. I think I may have pissed her off. I don't know. Maybe she thinks that it's showing disrespect to our deceased mother, that was a j.w. I swear, for the life of me, I don't know why I haven't heard back from her. It's been over a week now. Would you email her back and ask her, or would you leave it along? I had on brother that is d.f.ed to email me and tell me not to send him anything else on this matter.....that he didn't agree with me. At least I know where I stand with everyone, ya know! What would you guys do? Would you email my sister back and ask her if she recieved it, or let dead dogs lie?

After my father completed suicide, I didn't recieve any calls from the elders for encouragemnet for over 2 years, but then when I checked myself into rehab for almost drinking myself to death, they were all over me, couldn't stand it because I wouldn't meet with them. How could I go to the world for help and not them!!!! It was like they were on a witch hunt or something! CC and I were missing most of the meetings, after dad's suicide. Not one elder came to call on me, but let them hear that you are doing somehthing wrong in their eyes and they are on you like stink on shit.

I'm so pissed right now. All I have to say about that is......... paybacks are hell! All these stories of suicide really overwelm me. It's so sad. Unless you've ever had someone in your family complete suicide, you simple can't imagine the grief it causes. I wouldn't wish it upon your worst enemy.

Just a note I wanted to add. While in counceling, my councelor used the term *completed suicide* instead of *committed suicide* By useing the word committed, it has the connatation of a crime. A person can attempt suicide and if they succeed at it, then they completed it. To say commit is to imply a crime. What people need to realize is that suicide is caused by a desease called depression. Without treatment for this, it can kill you, and even with treatment, it still can kill you. When someone ask me what my father died from, I tell them depression.

Lyin Eyes, I'm sorry that you got upset over this. I can understandable understand. Suicide is a grief that you never get over, you simple learn to live with it. Hang in there sweetie.

Swordfish, You guys have no other way to feel good about yourself, therefore, you walk around in the name of jehovah trying to act like you are holy. You make me sick. If we want someone to preach to us that j.w. bullshit, we'll call our families.
