Dating After Leaving?

by Garrett in

hey guys,.

this is going to be a topic of a different nature.

so, while i am not looking to date at the current moment since i'm still trying to figure out who i am and what i want life, i do want to start dating in the near future.. my issue is that i've been in for almost all my life and it's left a big hole when it comes to my romantic life.. i was wondering, after leaving, did any of you date?

KateWild

Well Garret I think your idea to date online might be fun for you.

I have been dating online for a while and enjoying it loads not met Mr Right yet but having fun looking.

why when a person is dis fellowship the elders and others act like all hope is gone and refuse help that person come back to God's Word

by ray83 in

i been married to my husband for almost 9 years.

he's been a witness his whole life but got disfellowship a little over 15 years ago.

before his dis fellowshiping he was very active.

KateWild

Disfellowshiping is all nonsense. The elders make up their own rules. It can be harsh and unloving if you don't have a family member on the body of elders. They can just forget about you and keep saying no to reinstatement.

I suggest you tell your husband to stop trying now cos it's nonsense.

Good luck

Long Time Lurker

by the comet in

friends

it took a few years but i finally decided to join yesterday.

my background, born-in, still go to meetings for family reasons, i am inactive however.

if you were to ask when i first woke up i would say 2010 with the overlapping generation garbage.

KateWild

Welcome the comet, Thanks for your post...it's nice to see lurkers finally posting.

I see you're still in for family but you woke up five years ago. That is a long time to still go to meetings.

Are you struggling to keep sane at meetings? How do you cope? Do you want true freedom?

Take care

What did you become after leaving Jehovah's Witnesses?

by Garrett in

jw
friends

hey guys,.

so, since my leaving i have been doing so much research on so many topics that it's been extremely enlightening.

not only have i learned a lot about the organization and what motivates it, but i have also learned a lot about the bible, god and most importantly, myself.. currently, i'm not quite sure where i stand, but i'm having some real issues with the bible and god.

KateWild

Garret, I don't really know what I became when I learned TTATT. I suppose it has been a process of learning and I am still learning.

At present I have enough evidence to suggest the process of evolution was guided by a higher power. But also that higher power is not benevolent in any way. If the processes I am talking about have more evidence that they are unguided I will change my view.

So I am probably deist at the moment.

Quick introduction

by OzGirl in

jw
friends

only have a few minutes to spare so thought i would throw this together.. been in for about 30 years.

questions and doubts gathered over that time.

i have a keen interest in the legal and financial matters of the watchtower.. came across this site about 5 years ago.

KateWild

Welcome Ozgirl....yes I did say the new tithing arrangement was like an everlasting loan lol...I was being facetious.

Your points are really good and your doubts are legitimate. Now is the time to decide what is next. Do you fade, exit dramatically, or stay put?

Keep us informed.

Advice needed on Crisis of Conscience

by cappytan in

so, some of you may have seen my thread from yesterday about my wife waking up.. we had further discussion yesterday evening after i sent her the pbs video on the abuse scandals plaguing the watchtower.

she was so furious and pissed off at wt hq.

apparently a close relative of her's was abused by an elder and the only reason he was reproved and removed as an elder was because he confessed.

KateWild

but gave her fair warning that after reading it I felt like my world was crumbling-Cappytan

Yeah you made a boo boo there. I was overwhelmed too when I read it. Tell her that if you send it to her....you will be there for her if she finds anything uncomfortable or stressful.
