Did you Exit the Witnesses Gradually - Or Exit Suddenly - Your Reasons ?
by flipper ini thought it would be good to discuss it to understand what caused some of us to exit suddenly, or some to exit gradually .. myself , i had been in 44 years , had mentally had doubts for years before exiting - but injustices by the elders and my doubts about the " generation " doctrine led me to exit suddenly one night before a meeting.
the elders pissed me off , i went to my seat, picked my books up and walked out - never going back.
so what is your story and reasons ?

I hate that it gets to me!!
by Newborn injust back from lunch and met two different former good friends from my congregation (i live in a small town) and they, of course, turned their backs on me... and it makes me feel strange and bad even though they're the ones who should really feel bad.... how can i learn to ignore it??.
makes me both sad and angry at the same time.
grrrr.

Local needs
by yellow ini recently d/a and wrote a letter concerning my views at the same time.
a few weeks prior a bro was d/f, now i know they normally have local needs talks shortly after these announcements which speak about the sin without naming the person.
what alarms me is that they are having a series of these talks.

Are you content?
by Newborn ini find it hard to be content...even though i have a nice apartment, good job, good health, family and friends.
i'm of course grateful for these things but i feel that somehow i always long for something else.
when i'm single i want to be with someone...when i'm with someone i want to be free.

Sisters crying in the kitchen/lobby
by highdose inyears ago i was at the revamp of a kingdom hall.
one of the sisters told me that since they got rid of the kitchen it was so much better, becuase there were always sisters out there crying!
and now they have no place to go, so they just have to stay in the hall and listen to the meeting!.

ethical consequences of faking reinstatement...
by drew sagan ini know that there are enough of you out there who can add good points to this discussion, and i await your opinions.
however, please be aware that i wish for you to take great care in your posts.
i am not interested in haphazard responses.. so as to not give away too many details, i'll simply say that recent events have caused my in-laws to strongly desire my wife to fake a reinstatement.

Why do apostates never go back to the JW's?
by highdose inthis was a question i can remember asking as a child.
i never got a satisfatory answer ( you think that might have set alarum bells ringing but there you are) the answer i got was " apostates belive werid things... they are out to destory your faith!
" which didn't seem to make too much sense.

"The way of the truth is the best way of living. No better way can there be found."
by nicolaou in"the way of the truth is the best way of living.. no better way can there be found.".
remember that?
it's the opening line to 'make the truth your own'.
