Coming out to the closet to your family as an "apostate". Any experiences? Your input would be greatly appreciated.
by im_free inso it's been about 10 years since i have faded out and have stopped believing in the jw teachings.
since then, i have accepted jesus and have experienced an amazing tranformation in my life and have been freed from the jw prison mentally and spiritually.
a more detailed thread about my journey is here if you are interested.. anyways, my jw family lives in another state so they are unaware that i am no longer "in the truth" since i have not told them.

I don't advocate living a lie, pretending to be something you aren't, but that doesn't mean that you have to tell your parents everything about what you do and do not believe.
"Coming out" may seem like a good idea, but what do you have to gain? You have much to lose.
I know a young man that recently "came out" to his family about his beliefs concerning this religion. I tried to talk him out of it first, but he was determined.
After the told them he no longer believed JWs "are the truth" he called me to tell me how it went. He said he thought he would feel better, but instead he felt terrible.
So far they aren't shunning him. But many, many people lose families over this.
We tell them they're in a cult. They deny it and shun us thereby proving our point, yet they fail to see this. That's how messed up someone is that is fully indoctrinated in the JW mentality and mindset.

TV.JW.Org - WTF is Wrong With This Guy? - CAPTION THEM
by passwordprotected ini've heard about his bombastic, overly patronising, cartoon-ish delivery before, but i'd never actually seen it...until now.
and i should add, this religion bears little to no relation to the one i left 6 years ago.. .

garyneal: All I can say is that the opening screamed "700 Club" and it got me thinking about the many times Pat Robertson made a buffoon of himself with his many ignorant comments on camera.
Exactly!

Lett is NOT a good anchor or presenter.
Yes! I can't believe that they led with him. Ol' Rubberface is the goofiest of the group.
Bad move.

Millie That wasnt even a big deal when I WAS an avid consumer of all "deep truths"!
Yeah, but that's all they've got!
Since Crazy Freddy died, they've been swimming in the shallow end of the idea pool.
Freddy Franz was a nutjob, but at least his ideas were interesting.

Magnum: It is selling out by trying to become more mainstream.
Well said, they've jumped the proverbial shark.

About a year ago I had a meeting with three elders. All hardcore types. All three of them were completely wrong about the changes in New Light.
Even the ones that try can't keep up with the silly doctrinal changes.
Let's review: It's a cult!

AGM 2014 - How are faders gonna hide in plain sight anymore?
by tootired2care inso two big changes in the org were announced in the most recent agm.. local needs part is replaced by "how do you know the truth" where all members will tell their experience (oh what fun).
basic pioneer role 10 only hours a month required (see, jehovah lightens our load, therefore he loves only us)!.
it seems like they have really turned up the heat here.

Leave, in plain sight.
The term "fader" implies that at some point you'll be invisible, as in gone. Why not get there more quickly?
