i ask this because i was considering rejoining and the stories i have read only remind me of what was done to me.
is there any clean place to go where good people and fellowship can be had.
it sounds like maybe the people here should get together and start there own thing, like the reorganized latter day saints.
Depends what you mean by "clean" and "good" - and what you consider "fellowship".
This place is populated by Ex Jdubs who all have good reasons for being "Ex"... If you are considering rejoining, this is just about the best place to hear why you shouldn't.
Stick around and ask some questions before you decide what to do.

I was disloyal to the religion I was raised in. I did, do and will continue to betray it in any way possible.
I'm proud of that.

I consider the dictionary to be a good way to define the meaning of a word.
The dictionary considers me an apostate, even though as a "born in" "never dunked" many/some dubs wouldn't.
I am an apostate and proud of it.
This made me do a happy.

i'm delusional.

yesterday evening my wife and i were invited to friends house for new year's eve.
we met them when i was a christian and we have kept in touch.
they had a few other friends there as well, including the new church pastor and his wife.
i am reuniting with past students and return visits.. i met up with a young lad i used to call on.
he is not baptised, but at university in his 20's and living away from home.
his mother is a jw and his father is not.
Nope.
I was simply pointing out that they are very different things.
Labels can be divisive. Racism just is. (It's pedantic of me, I was just picking up on it out because I'm anal, I'll stfu about it now)

"I don't use labels, it is no different than racism"
Mmhm, yes. Yes it is.

In answer to the OP - Yes. I was never baptised, so I'm not an apostate, in Jdub terms, but I still claim the title if questioned... Opposed just doesn't have the same ring to it!
