  Held my first "worldly" party last night

  i used to have a lot of jw gatherings at my home and it's been the one thing i did miss since our fade.

  although i had some nonjw contacts in my life, i always held them at arms length and never really invited them to my place.

  well, i've opened up to this group over the last year about the issues with pedofiles within jw world, and the internal/external shunning policy.

  it's hard to believe it was only a little over a year ago i received my first official rbc assignment.

  i was so excited i posted about it on facebook, to many likes from my fellow jw friends.. fast forward to this year, learning ttatt and fading (last meeting was the memorial and special talk).. i've received my fourth email, in the past two months, asking for rbc help.. stifling urge to hit reply all, with a jwfacts and candace conti case web link.... isn't it amazing how much your life and worldview can change in 1 year?.

  the day i've been waiting for is here.

  i'm flying home to see family and some old friends, most of whom are jw.

  since learning ttatt a few months back, i came to the decision i would have to tell my parents that we are no longer active and don't have any plans to return.

  New Girl

  hope everyone is having a lovely day.

  i ended up here after spending the past few months researching jw, without the blinders on.

  i was a born-in, baptized as a teen, pioneered out of high school for a couple years (turning down a 4 year scholarship).
