Are you sure leaving the JW religion has made your life better?. Lurkers think twice
by mankkeli inon this forum, i have carefully read most of the experiences of those who left the jw religion, i have even read experiences that have dated back to 2001, i have read the different circumstances surrounding their exits and what ensued upon leaving.
for the majority, i observed they are better remainning in the religion than leaving.
what benefit is there to strain family relationship because you want to be free?, please tell me, of what value is that freedom?,.

How long would this be allowed?
by Lynnie ini have a cousin that is born-in but never went for the jw's throughout her entire childhood and until this day, she's 30 now.
her dad is an uber elder and her 2 sisters are very devoted as well.
now she's talking about "going back" to the kh etc because she thinks now this is the place she belongs.. my question is: she's living with someone "in sin"; has a fb page; goes to rock/rap music concerts all the time etc.

Has anyone else noticed all the advertizing the Mormons are starting to do.
by life is to short ini live in the pacific northwest and in the last week i have started to see bill boards popping up all over the city with pictures of people who are doctors, stay at home mom's, lawyers, plumbers, etc.
they all look very normal just living life and below their picture it says i am a mormon.. i have also started in just the last few days to see commercials on tv showing a soccer mom running her kids to games and she stops to look at the camera and says i am a mormon, or they showed a doctor who stops and says i am a mormon.. i think this campaign with the mormons has to do with mitt romney.. has anyone else noticed this?
i wonder what the gb would do to make the jw's look normal, as our kids do not do school sports, we do not go to college so we do not have many doctors or lawyers, or even plumbers and electricians, etc for that matter.

Non JW's and DF's JWS
by Lynnie inmy uber witness cousin has 3 daughters, 2 that are very much jw's and one that isn't (she never went for it at all).
how does it work that he can see his way clear to have an almost normal relationship with her even though she's living "in sin" with a man and has several times in the past and she also has dabbled in drugs along the way.
i thought you weren't supposed to hang out with fornicators???

Continuing story of relative's funeral
by Lynnie ina couple of weeks ago i posted about how my uber witness cousin told me i wouldn't be welcome at my aunt's family gathering after the memorial service at the kingdom hall.
(i've been df'd for 35 year now).
he did invite me to the kingdom hall for the service but it was clear i wasn't welcome at the family gathering afterwards since i asked him flat out.

my workmates jw friend of 30 years has deleted her from facebook
by looloo inthis lady is quite new to my workplace and we got chatting and she asked how i met my husband etc ... after i finished telling her of my jw experiances she said i could write a book and i really should !
she said she has a friend who shes known for 30 years and she became a jw about 15 years ago and this friend had recently deleted her off her friends list !
she also said this friend likes to play bingo which she presumed wouldnt be allowed in the religion so had thought it cant be all that strict in that religion !!!!!
