  well my fellow compatriots, since i haven't posted any topics lately of an interesting or fascinating nature (and probably never have in the past either); i just thought you might all like to know that yesterday i took the plunge and put a closure on my 4 decades of being one of them there jw's.

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm feeling really good today.. i had lunch with prisca yesterday, it was really great.

  we talked about the reasons we both left the borg, it was really great to talk to someone face to face about everything.

  the best thing is she only lives 10 minutes away from me, how great is that.. she moved to melbourne about 12 months ago.

  Matters of concern with my time spent as part of the jehovah's witness cult

  by Holey_Cheeses*King_of_the juice. in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i reflect on my time spent as a jw, there are certain issues that continue to disturb me about my conduct and lifestyle as a member of that so-called 'religion'.. from the outset, let me state that i did not suffer any physical, sexual, or mental abuse from any members of the cult, that so unfortunately was inflicted upon many persons who now can gladly consider themselves as ex-members of that sorry excuse for a humane (or godly, whichever way you prefer to recognise it) organisation.

  certainly, there were conflicts of personality, and some bad business dealings, but, really, i consider that i 'got off lightly' from the fifteen or so years i wasted as a member.. one thing is certain - that no-one, i repeat, no-one, can spend any time as part of that cult and, who manages to escape, who will come away unscathed.

  all will carry some form of scar.. so what are my concerns?
