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?.

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

by Anony Mous in

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.

Why I Stayed Married to my "Apostate" Husband for 30 Years. Help for those whose marriages are in trouble now that you have left The Lie.

i have to say i am surprised and am quite saddened to hear how many jdub marriages fall apart when one partner becomes an "unbelieving mate" or even an "apostate.

" i thought i might post my thoughts on my thinking process during the time my hubby, bethelyellowdollarbag, in my jdub thinking moved along the path from an "unbelieving mate" to an "apostate" over the course of 30 years before i finally woke up to ttatt.

Party at the Kingdom Hall!

by OneDayillBeFree in

so being that once upon a time i was one of the elites, a regular pioneering, high & mighty jw, i still have the "keys to the kingdom" as i've always called them and was bored this past saturday night and had a couple non-jw friends (the real & unconditional kind) in my car.

as we were driving around trying to find something new and exciting to do we passed by the road which leads to my kh.

and then i thought why not go over there, show my friends what this cult looks like from the inside?.
