To my friends, exJW's, and hypocritical Watchtower-apologists,
I promised on this website quite some time ago that should I ever leave JW.com, I would be honorable and not complain nor post some grandiose exit so as to garner unnecessary attention and bandwidth, and I will keep that promise. I am not complaining, I love many people on this website, and can relate to their pain like few others can, because I experienced it myself. However I did feel it would be appropriate out of respect to at least explain to some of the friends I have made while here why I will be leaving.
I have received a new job offer ( a promotion ) which will require quite a bit of travel and I will no longer be subjected to a cubicle farm where I sit at a desk and do someone else's work while perusing the Internet and JW.com as my multitasking skills allow, thankfully though JW.com was my saving grace in maintaining some level of sanity while being limited to such a sedentary form of employment.
I have given it a lot of thought, and I feel it is best to severely limit my time here. The best way to live after being subjected to such a filthy, vile, disgusting (not enough words to describe it) cult which destroyed my family and stole my childhood, I no longer wish to have the Jehovah's Witnesses in my mind, thoughts, or daily life.. in any fashion. I do not wish to concern myself any longer with their hypocrisy, or to debate with anonymous jackasses who willfully defend them. I intend to spend the rest of my life happy, with a wonderful job paying extremely well, and to move onward towards other goals I intend to achieve, that would never have been possible should I have remained in the JW cult.
My heart, thoughts, prayers, and most genuine affection and warmth goes out to all the friends I have made while here. I will not even bother attempting to name everyone, because if I left an individual out, it would be disrespecting to them. If you have had chat with me and we were on good terms, you know who you are out there.
In my entire 9 months on this website, I have learned so much and grown as a person. I thank many of you for sharing your stories and having patience with me during periods that I was depressed or angry and demonstrated my passion in posts that were unnecessarily profane or argumentative.
If anyone wishes to contact me, you may email me at:
or
and I will be happy to attempt to get back to you.
I would still like to meet many of you, for during my tenure here I never had that opportunity. I am still open for chat, but I will be spending very little time on JW.com from this point forward.
When the opportunity presents itself, I would love to come to some of the Apostafests held in various locations. It's not a matter of discussing things JW-related, but it is a feeling of mutual respect from others who were as roses that grew from concrete. You (meaning ex-JW's) lived under the tyrannical reign of the Watchtower Society, whose rules permeated every conceivable part of your life, and you found your way out and have succeeded in making your life better for yourself, despite the odds.
I admire that and respect it.
Simon & Angharad, I want to personally thank you for providing this website for so many to gather together. If there is something beyond this life, then you shall be rewarded a hundredfold for helping so many people worldwide to heal from the unspeakable pain and suffering so many endured under the Jehovah's Witnesses' grasp.
Wt-apologists, if you wish to post on this thread and mock or ridicule me, that is fine. Your works will demonstrate what true form of Christian love you possess, and I feel pity for you, but I damn sure won't miss you.
With all that said, I bid all of you adieu, at least for now.
With Most Affectionate Thoughts,
Jason
