  hello, just introducing myself.

  i'm an inactive witness, been so for a few months now.

  got put off mostly by 1914 being hammered more and more lately, the child molestation issue, the un-ngo thing and just feeling like i don't want to shoot my mouth off and get labelled apostate so best to fade out.

  Great to have you here Trumangirl!

  Just a thought though....If you put your real picture to the left, you may get labeled as an Apostate. There are active JWs checking out these websites on a regular basis.

  hi friends!.

  i've finally made a decision: i wil leave the wt in december 2004 or january 2005. please let me explain how i would manage this and i will also like to know your point of view or any other thing you would want to say.. i live in spain (as some of you know) in a city where there are 20 congregations.

  i think that the elders would like to know the reason why i'm moving to another congregation.

  Hello Elohim, If I could go back 18 years, I would have faded out. The elders would love for you to tell them of your plans....It will give them some excitement in an otherwise drab life. They will do everything in their power to hurt you and cut you off from everyone, including your mother. It's best to cautious. Best regards, Columbus Ohio USA

  Have You Renounced Everything Jehovah's Witnesses Believe In?

  now that you don't practice the religion, is it safe to say that you reject everything that you were taught??

  You're all familiar with the following: The WTBS quotes Galations 5:9 quite often, "A Little Leaven Ferments the Whole Lump" (New World Translation) They also quote 1Thessalonians 5:21 which says "Make Sure of All Things; hold fast to What is Fine" (New World Translation) Its really sad more rank and file JWs don't call their leaders on their own advice! They're afraid of becoming apostates. LOL!

  i have family in (physically) and i have family out (mentally).. some of my family are out (physically) but are somewhat still in (mentally) due to the mind control.. how do i deal with it?

  i don't know - some days go by and i just get on with life.

  What an awesome position you're in! If I could do things over again, I would do everything in my power to take my entire family and close friends out with me before I completely cut ties. We didn't have the internet eighteen years ago. It was tough going for a long time. Please realize you're not alone now. You have others who care deeply for you. That's why so many of us are here....to come alongside you. We know the angst you're experiencing. By the way, there's a new website here in Columbus I highly recommend - Towerwatch.com - Everyone might want to take a look.

  we all know that the wts continous to spew nonsense about "satan and his hordes" and how they are always on the prowl trying to attack loyal dubs and stear them away from the troof.

  my parents are hard core dub zealots still very much in the org.my mom will not hesitate to toss an inanimate object in the garbage if she suspects that it is "possesed".

  so when you left, how long did it take you to shake the fear of them big bad deeeemunz?

  I stopped being afraid of demons when the JW's told me so many years ago to remove the Smurf Wallpaper from my children's bedroom wall back in the 1970s.

  What Motivates You to Expose the "Truth About the Troof" to Active JW's?

  by imallgrowedup in

  while responding to another thread, i was thinking about how so many of us talk about trying to help "believing dubs" out from the clutches of the wt, while at the same time, it occurred to me that we probably all have different motivations for doing so.

  as for me, i am motivated to get my parents out because i think they have the right to know "the whole story" - not just the candy-coated version the wt espouses, so they can make better decisions about how they want to live the rest of their lives.

  right now the wt makes all their life decisions for them - including whether or not they should look at what the "other side" has to say about them.

  My motivation is similar to Mouthy's. When I became disfellowshipped for disagreeing with one particular elder who liked to give opinions that weren't Bible based, I realized why people were "Really" disfellowshipped.

  I wanted to die for almost five years following but I had small children and that would be horrible for them so that wasn't an option for me.

  I'm not angry anymore; I'm not even hurt. My motivation now is simply "I Love Them" and want them to experience the Unconditional Love of our Heavenly Father. I would like for them to understand what it really means to "Make Sure of All Things and Hold Fast to What is Fine" - It's so liberating!

  The WTBS is a Profit Making Printing Company that blatantly abuses the Word of God to control, for the most part, mild hearted individuals. It breaks my heart to see the "publishers" trying so hard to be approved and loved and it's never enough. They're very much like abused children who continually crave approval from the Parents Beating Them To Death!

  For so many years, I avoided JWs when I would see them in public. Now I make a point of speaking with them. I'm a hugger by nature.....And that's what they all get.

  Well enought of my rambling....Great Topic!
