Moved around a bit, Was miserable and friendless at the KH, Figured I could be just as miserable without elders and others breathing down my neck so I walked away... Was miserable for a long time, had much residual guilt, felt unworthy and without a future for the longest time. Feel much better now. Grew my hair, had girlfriends grew a beard, got pierced, got tattooed, the inner me is finally showing on the outside.

Hi ! Thanks for sharing your story. I was raised a JW too. Now I'm an EXJW and I get frustrated that my family can't be a normal part of my life. Hope you really find comfort in knowing other people here understand your situation.

Welcome!
I think you should be SO PROUD of yourself! You are raising your child wonderfully and supporting him. You have broken free from the JW cult.
Give yourself a pat on the back.

Welcome to JWD!
Same situation. Fader - undercover "apostate". I'm 3rd gen. j-dub. My wife is a 2nd gen j-dub with a great amount of blind-loyalty to the organization. Not me!

Welcome aboard Elyse!!! Glad you found your way here! Feel free to vent about whatever you want. No DFing on this site!
Like many here, I'm an x-JW. I was a 3rd generation witness and was raised in the "Troof". I walked away from it all in my early 20's and never looked back...
Hope to read more from you!

Welcome Elyse867 !!!
Personally, I am an elder in "good standing". And a full blown under cover grade A "Apostate", however I prefer the term "Freedom Fighter".
Will be launching in to fade mode within the next couple years
- just trying to save as many souls from the clutches of the WTS as I can before I begin to fade away...
Peace to you, and once again - WELCOME!!!!

Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I faded for many years without making a conscious choice until this summer I made the choice to walk away.
My sons had their first Halloween this year and my 5 year old had his first birthday party. I have been
shopping for christmas already.
My parents shun me already , I can't wait for them to find out when I DA.
My In-laws are starting to circle the wagons and I sense a show down in the near future.
Welcome to the madhouse, you will laugh and cry, and heal.
