What year Did you Stop Attending Meetings - How Long were you a JW ?
by flipper in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm trying to compare some statistics and figures on this to share later in the thread to see if more long-time witnesses are exiting- or are newer witnesses exiting after a shorter period of time.

and - are more people exiting in the last 10 to 15 years than before.

so your answers would be helpful in looking into this .

my mother had the jehovahs witnesses round the other day , she said a nice man said "i see you are a do not call,and wondered if you would like the witnesses to start calling on you again " my mum replied "do you know a man called"joe bloggs" he said yes i have heard of him ("joe bloggs is my childs abuser ,an ex dub and "truth"lover" my mum said "well he raped my grandaughter, and do you know that none of his family or his wife who are all in your religion ever apologised to my grandaughter and have supported him instead despite the fact that they know he is a child molester " he said "oh i am so sorry , i am new to the area " i bet he wished the ground could have swallowed him up !.

How long before you stopped believing armageddon was on your doorstep?

2. experiences
i was born into "the truth" back in 1964. i made the big mistake of getting baptised when i was about 14 or so, purely to please my father as i saw how proud he was when my brothers were baptised....didn't work.. we moved to a new congregation when i was about 8, he introduced all my brothers to the congregation by name, a short bio of thier endearing qualities and how proud he was of them, when he introduced me it was "and this is our black sheep of the family, steve".. i remember living in fear at the fast approaching 1975....actually, living in terror is probably a more apt desciption.

all of you will full well know how it was instilled into us at every meeting and assembly how we are living in the last days.. as a 15 year old, a brother dobbed me in for kissing a worldly girl at school.

went through the marked process, judicial committy, disfellowshipped and the shunning which continues to this day by what's left of my family.

i always felt like i was not a "spiritual" person because i loathed going in field service.

i'm not even sure why i loathed it.

i am very outgoing and can talk to anyone, anytime, about anything.
