  How can I prevent harrassment to my kids from self-righteous dub relatives?

  by candela in

  i live with my hubby and children outside of my native country.

  we will be going home for a vacation soon after many years.

  we're faders and most of our jw relatives have adopted a don't ask-don't tell policy about our decision and we are perfectly fine with it.

  Are you now involved in a different religion or structured group?

  by feenx in

  i was browsing another post where wtwizard implied membership in another group, and was asked what it was.

  that got me thinking...since coming out the society, has anyone embraced another organized religion or group, public or secret?

  if so, what is it, and what made you join and continue membership?

  Are You Content Within Yourself?

  by AK - Jeff in

  leaving the borg of jehovah presents a somewhat lonely existence for many of us fallen angels.

  for a time we may seek to find an entirely new body-associate.

  many may find that after so many years in a controlled environment like the watchtower that they have a hard time finding a large group of friends again.

  Leaving the Organization but not the teachings

  by donny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i left the witnesses in 1992 after ten years in the orgainzation, i got as far away from the teachings and mindest as i could.

  however some, like my former brother-in-law, also left, but are intent on finding ways to reform the society from within since he believes in the society as being of god, but that it has become misguided and is slowly drifting to "christendom" status.

  one of the things he cites as evidence is the wtbts become aligned with the united nations.

  Its the worst damn thing to happen in my opinion. Some are more brain damaged than others by the WT.

  Many in my wifes side of the family have left the organizaion but still hang on to the teachings, still limping along in a dysfuctional state of limbo land....it's bizaare. Good luck.

  "This system just cannot get any worse"

  by JimmyPage in

  1. forum
  2. tech-support

  that's what my dad has said at various times over many years.

  i think it helps encourage him that the end must be very near and the paradise will be here soon.

  my thought has always been "oh yes it can get a lot worse.

  I started hearing that line in 1976 when I started attending a congregation bible study. My opinion is that this system is way better in many ways than it was back in 76. It can certainly can get worse than it is now.
