Oh have fun! I've heard it's a blast there. I'm in southern Ontario, and lots of people from around here go there. Party central apparently. Where abouts are you from ashitaka?

What religion are you now?
by Michalea ini've struggled with wanting to be 'something' mostly probably to fill that hole that was left and to try and belong somewhere, anywhere really.
so i've tried penecostal, presbyterian, united churches but they all seem fake.
i always compared everything to the jw's, and didn't even realize it.

I've struggled with wanting to be 'something' mostly probably to fill that hole that was left and to try and belong somewhere, anywhere really. So I've tried penecostal, presbyterian, united churches but they all seem fake. I always compared everything to the jw's, and didn't even realize it. I'd say well this church is too big, how am I going to get to know anyone? or the minister seems aloof, like he doesn't really believe what he is saying. or me being judgmental, (that part of that residual slime Im getting rid of) the women there, their skirts are too short. There was such fear in me of satan and all his demons, and I often believed more in him than I did in a god that loved me. But now I'm at a bit of a different place, I dont know that I even beleive in satan anymore, I almost think he's just made up to instill fear so that control can be kept over members, of any church really. I am more into spirituality, meditation, finding out what my purpose in life is, and not worrying specifically about 'a religion' although I find myself longing for the honesty and the closeness I discovered with one church group I got involved with. It was presybterian, we had what they called 'homegroups' and we met every other firday night, sometimes we'd study the bible, sometimes we'd just sing or socialize, and of course there was always food. But we all got to know each other. I guess what I'm saying is I really lack the ability to form close relationships, I've never been good at that and that's what I miss I never was taught how to do that, I'm incredibly shy sometimes, and I come off as snobby and I just end up alone. I mean I married with two kids now, but I can count on less than 3 fingers how many friends I have. Whoa, that is way off topic huh? Okay well back to my original question then, what religion if any are you now?

Hello, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm an ex-jw. Was raised as one from about 4 to 16. Mother jw and still in, father and 2 brothers never were. Just within the past 6 months or so realizing the effects of being raised jw has had on me. Now changing view points and starting to get rid of all the residual slime left on me. Hope to make some new friends and become a part of this community.
