Is everyone bitter against JW's?
by Redneckgurl ini have to post this question, because as i was trying so hard to talk to my husband about what i am learning and what others are saying, he is saying i am not doing this objectively at all, and only hearing things from bitter exjw's who are angry at the org for something.
i say this isn't true, i wasn't searching for answers due to a negative occurance in my life, and i don't believe everyone here was either.
he says i am only emotional about this, and trying to find reasons to prove all the things i have learned as wrong.

i, too, wanted to prove it right. so, i was shocked and dismayed at what i found. now, i'm glad to know the "truth" and take it from there.

Theft of Identity from the Borg
by Yizuman ini had a thought for most of the ex-jws who spent most of their lives in the borg.
for those who left the borg, has anyone stopped and think, "who am i really supposed to be apart from the borg?".
have you ever wondered what your life would have been like if you had never been a jw?

How bad did Worldly people treat you when you were a JW?
by El Kabong ini grew up in the society and had the pleasure .
some worldly people would actually hit jw'w because they did not salute the flag.
(this in a country that prides itself on freedom of religion).

people were very tolerant until i left college. then people would smile a lot around me - like i was crazy. or try not to be around me - like they would catch something. just recently, before i realized my folly, some neighbors invited me and hubby over. but, my husband and i knew we were being invited only to see if the jw was cool. i felt like i was on stage. when they cursed - they apologized, like they were in the presence of god. other times when holidays were around, they would say happy,,,,(whatever) and when i said i didn't celebrate, they replied...oh, i'm sorry...like they felt bad for me. oh well, i'm having fun saying happy...back, now.
