HAPPY OFFICIALLY INACTIVE DAY!!!
We want to thank the friend that had the courage to speak up and talk to us. It's also great that all 4 of us came out together! That feels even better. Even tho the rest of the family is still in and shunning us. At least we have each other and all of you.
Group hug!

I understand how you are feeling. My mother in law has called everyone we know and told them that we were talking against the organization and went apostate. Hubby didn't say anything except something he had found in a WATCHTOWER. Now everyone we know is shunning us and no one else has even bothered to ask us if its true or not.
So hang in there and find some real friends like we are doing that are not as judgemental.
Peace to you and a big hug

Has Your Personality Changed Since Leaving The Witnesses?
by minimus ini have an aquaintance that likes to say, "once an a hole always an a hole".
i guess you could reason that whatever your religious views were, your core is you are who you are.. did your personality change for better or worse when you left the organization?.

Hubby & I have noticed a big difference. We're more tolerant of people in general. Non-JW's aren't evil and trying to make us sin, there are actually some really nice people out there and we're making some good friends that isn't based on conditional love. They don't care if we go to the meetings or not. Stress level has gone way down.

I'm new here
by WrongweektostopsniffingGlue ini haven't got much of a story.
i'm in my late teens, grew up in it, and got out of the society's regime by the skin of my teeth.
nearly go baptized because i firmly did believe it was the "truth" but because of a gut feeling that held me back, that i almost ignored, i didn't sign my blood to big brother.

Blondie can you help me find your research "How to treat disfellowshiped JWs"?
by ÁrbolesdeArabia inblondie i was reading where you posted information from 1952 onward on how we are to treat disfellowshiped members of our spiritual and physical family.
you posted information from the kms, wt and other sources.
i did a search and can't find it, one of the tidbits of information said that if a brother or sister has contact with the "disfellowshiped member" they should be disfellowshiped too.

Glad we could help. Wish you the best Aof A. It's not easy dealing with the mind set of this cult. If you need anything else let me know.
You can get the WT lib download on this site.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/243812/1/Watchtower-Library-2012-download

Who is paying for this?!!?!?
by DATA-DOG inremember a while back when the wtbts wanted more money to bring home missionaries?
i have been looking for that thread to no avail.
anyway, each and every kh that adopted that resolution is contributing a good deal of money to the wtbt$ based on the amount of publishers.

It takes a lot of printing to supply more than 6 million Jehovah's Witnesses with the materials for their ministry. One publication, Watchtower, now has an average print run of 23 million copies twice per month, an increase of 7.5 percent over last year.
"Our report for the year is different from a Wall Street company," said vice president George Couch. Indeed, the company's employees are volunteers who live and work in the Brooklyn complex.
