You CAN continue associating with wordly/disfellowshipped family members AND get a higher education

quotes:.

-- therefore, explain that a parent's decision an a child's associates would not be based on religion, but on the young one's conduct ... it will probably help if you acknowledge that this does not mean that all other youths whom your children are around in the neighborhood or at school are no good.

some of them may be pleasant and decent, as some of your neighbors, relatives, and workmates are.

CELEBRATE WITH ME!!!

ok so if you look at my membership and post history im very much a new member here, but have been researching things for some months on and off, so i have not made any sudden decisions..... i have been reading heaps of reasoning here as to why many of you have left jws, particularly those of you who have left for reasons of conscience.

i have just read crisis of conscience, which has become the proverbial "nail in the coffin" for me.. for many reasons i am no longer one of jehovahs witnesses in my heart, but i still identify myself as a christian, and will continue to uphold bible principles in my life.

the two big realisations for me is that: one: i do not have to compromise my bible trained conscience to make this differentiation, and it does not make me a true apostate, although loyal jws would label me that.

Has Your Personality Changed Since Leaving The Witnesses?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
i 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?.

LURKING JW: Thinking of leaving? Learn from my experience.

"mental wondering in the wilderness"... uh oh.... it's a long post from snakes.... lol.

yep... i think that is the best way to describe where i am at in life right now.

if you have read my past posts (mostly in the private section) you know some of my history as a life-long (now former) witness.. i have been away from the jw religion, for all intents and purposes, since dec. 06, though it was not until sept 07 that i stopped attending meetings.

this is hard to explain, but i will try.

the other day, my neice was put in the hospital for test , after having two seizures, she is 20 and has never had any medical problems at all.

i now know, that by doing that it seemed to take the burden of helplessness off of my shoulders.

30 and Out?
by Black Man in
1. jw
2. friends
30 that seems to put jw's at a cross-roads?

i've known so many who have decided to abandon ship at either the age of 30 or either after 30 years of being baptized.

i fall into the former category.
