let me start out by saying that i would like nothing better than to see the society totally disappear one day and lose its controlling grip upon its members.

this forum is probably one of the most frequented sites for doubting jws and lurkers so i think it is important to be as skilled at combating the witnesses as is possible.

not every argument made against someone or something is a good one.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

This is one of the best threads of discussion I have read since I came on this forum.

Everyone, free to express and share their thoughts and feelings from all places in their journey.

My, thought.. you would not have been able to share this together if you were all "door knocking, bible banging J.W.s"

Free Minds , free to think and free to debate or discuss. AND FREE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND!!

Thanks guys,

finding googlewhacks.. your goal: find that elusive query (two words - no quote marks) with a single, solitary result!.

1. your two googlefactors must exist in this dictionary.

it's so easy to confirm: google does the work!

Have you known anyone who left JW land after or because of you ???

by run dont walk in

friends

unfortunately, i come from a family which is still all in jw land, i would love to be able to convince them all to get out, but i probaly have a better chance of winning the lottery, but i'll keep trying.. how many of you here had some from your family or close friend leave the jw's after you did ???

and why did they leave ???.

how did it make you feel ???.

Special K

I know of one old friend of mine who left after me. However, that person doesn't live close to me . so we weren't able to support each other.

Family.. no . they are all still in there..I am the only disfellowshipped one. Thats a hard roll of the dice for me.

I don't know if you consider someone who is leading a double life as someone who is out of it...They still are not freeminds in my opinion.

My biggest regrets are those that I studied with who got baptized into it. I feel some responsibility to misguiding them into a way of life which I totally disagree with now.... an unloving way of life.

How Long Were You "In Transition" Before You Left The Organization?

weeks, months, years??

barbar... welcome to the forum. I'm glad you came on board.

outnfree...Thanks for sharing your story with us, it takes alot of courage to share in such a personal way. I feel honoured to be able to read your progression through all of this.Very brave.

Lady lee. I agree that it seem alot easier to leave now than 10 years ago when I left. I'm thrilled to find this forum and it gives support to those struggling with all the leaving J.W.'s issues. when I got the boot I had no one. No family, no friends, no life... but this internet stuff would have made my recovery far easier, happier and shorter.

How long did it take me to get out.. 1 year and then several more to get rid of all the webs strangling my thoughts.
