A general question - Is anyone on this site actually in good standing with their congregation?

Brother Apostate
While still in, I (and others) spent years openly questioning the beliefs in light of obvious differences with Scriptural teachings, to which there were of course never any answers.
I (and others) then spent years openly criticizing those teachings to the many who would listen, using Scriptures to prove that the JWs were in error.
I finally left when I realized that "the truth" didn't care about the truth, but rather what some delusional bunch of old fogeys in Brooklyn NY had invented as their brain-washing propaganda to fleece the flock and prevent their flock's salvation through Christ.
That was around 9 years ago. Two others left at the same time. Then more. And more.
Me and one of the others who left at the same time are now called "the worst of apostates" because, ironically, we chose to follow the Bible's teachings rather than those of the men in Crooklyn. We are blamed for nearly everyone who exits the JWs around these parts. But it's really just more people waking up to JW lies.

December 21, 2000.......thrown to the road! (After 35 years of faithful service)
Tried for six months to get reinstated in 2005 and attended every meeting, but one day, after leaving a particularly boring meeting and an unfriendly atmosphere towards me, asked myself "why?" and never went back again.
Most days I never think of the JW religion now nor the family and friends I left behind. -

I wish I could say the same - having been born and bred a witness, I find it still colors almost every part of my life - which makes it difficult when you are trying to be a sinner! lol j/k
