it has been at least 2 years since i posted, and for the most part, i believe, i left this site on a happy note.

i had moved on from the drama and confusion that transitioning out of being a jw and into the world meant.

i was building a happy life with my children.

Thoughts on My Exit

2. friends
it has been some time since i last posted or even visited the site, and i wondered why that was.

life continued to be difficult without a network of friends to look forward to seeing.

the novelty of being disfellowshipped wore off, and the mundane advanced as it did every day.

What is the JW Mindset?
by losingit in
1. jw
2. experiences
is it based on gullibility, naivete, the ability to suspend all logic and reason in order to hold onto fantasized "realities" of a paradise earth where all humanity will be perfect, where all wars and violence will cease?

is it a personal preponderance to the extreme-- whether it be in judgmentalism, cruelty, rigidity, negativity, and/ or righteousness that lends itself to extreme closemindedness and shortsightedness?.

how do you define it for yourself?

1. jw
2. experiences
waking up from jw-land is an extremely exhausting process.

about 3 years ago, i attended a month-long institute for grad school students.

during this time, i was surrounded by people from all over the united states and had active, deep conversations with so many about personal topics, such as religion and divorce.
