Defender of Truth
It's fine hun!
i may take my fiance to a meeting.
give them fake names and just see how my fiance reacts.
he's been curious about seeing what i hated so much about the whole thing (not that he'll really understand everything, i mean of course he never will to my extent but)... i'd like to see what an outsiders view on the whole thing would be as well.

My fiance was never raised in a religious setting, he is agnostic as well. So I'm sure he'll just be confused/disgusted by it all.
I'm going to troll a bit and maybe try and plant a few subtle seeds as well.
you all might find this craig's list ad interesting, i have publications "studies in the scriptures" plus others, how can i valuate my inheritance grandma left me?
grandma was poor, she was third-generation witness who spoke boldly without fear of men.
what do you think they want these books for, i have lots of books dated pre-1950s,, if i was to part with my treasure how much do i charge?.

I can't wait, my first time wearing NORMAL street clothes to a meeting and not feeling bad about doing anything "taboo".. actually I'll quite enjoy this.
Have any of you gone "undercover" or know of anyone who as gone undercover as a "worldly" person? How did it go? If not, would you? I know some of you would never step foot into a KH again, not that I blame you.
i remember seeing the ex-jws parading around outside the assembly like lepers holding placards of hate.
we were the righteous and enlightened ones... and they were lost in outer darkness.
just dont look at them was the standard response to their unwelcome presence..
Yes and no. I was raised in this religion, both of my grandmothers converted when my parents were toddlers. I never go to be like other kids, I never had friends because no one in my hall liked me and my sisters and I obviously wasn't allowed to have my "wordly" friends over. My interest in movies and books with magic were "bad". And I will never experience the "wonder" children experience on the holidays. There are a lot of things I'm angry for.
But I have a baby on the way. And I know to appreciate the things that most people raised in the "world" take for granted. I'm going to give my child the childhood I never had. They can be anything they want and I'm going to let them know that what they think and believe matters.
so, it's been a really long time since i've posted on here.
and even at the time i never really posted much.. to make my story short, my parents found out i was planning to move in with a worldly friend out of the blue and instead sent me to live with my jw grandmother.
this was almost 3 years ago.

To make my story short, my parents found out I was planning to move in with a worldly friend out of the blue and instead sent me to live with my JW grandmother. This was almost 3 years ago. It's been over two since I ran away, YES RAN AWAY from my grandmother's house to break free. I had been putting on a mask for too long and the pressure had been building up. I knew there was no point in talking about my feelings because I would have just been guilt tripped into staying. So i took a plunge and stayed with a boyfriend I was secretly seeing at the time. He was a dick and we broke up last year. I have a great fiance now and I am currently 18 weeks pregnant. I will be 22 next month. My fiance has a great job and I work from home. He treats me like royalty and his family adores me. I'll tell you guys more later.
Anyway, I just replied to one of forum topics about what woke us up and honestly.. I've been awake for as long as I can remember. Before I knew about the false doctrines, I knew something was wrong by the time I was five. The fakeness and obvious favoritism tipped me off.
So, I posted this topic because I remembered something. When I was little, someone had been disfellowshipped in my hall. A couple had separated and were getting a divorce. They didn't know all the details but apparently she had showed up with a man who wasn't her soon to be ex-husband to the hall. I was getting fed up because they didn't know the whole story. I piped up and said, "You shouldn't gossip. Gossiping is bad and Jehovah doesn't like it". My mom got upset with me. I was only 8.
I also remember when I was around 6 or so... my mom kept referring to my school friends as "worldly" and as a 6 year old all I knew was this was a negative term. So I said " Mommy, you shouldn't call people names, it isn't nice!!"
Glad to be back guys!
