  If You Can Get Out Of The Jehovah's Witness Religion---DO IT!

  i realize some people feel they can't just leave the religion.

  they have family, friends, position.. some elders mistakenly believe that they might be able to reform the cult from within.

  the truth is, the religion is never really going to change.

  Right on Minimus. But I do understand. I was a P.O. when I woke up and it took 2 years of very careful planning to get out. But my circumstances made it easy for me. Others on the other hand may not see a way out. This is the very thing I hate about this cult is how it messes us up by just thinking about leaving it. Still Totally ADD

  Sorry Londo both my wife and I do not know anything about this. I don't know why. I guess we are just getting older and can't remember events like this. Can you enlighten us on this a little. Thank you for your help. Still Totally ADD

  Good for you Shepherd Book. Both my and wife and I have given talks at the UU church in Jamestown about the JW cult. The congregation received it very favorable. Most did not know some of the very dangerous things that take place with the Wt. also did not know how they feel about them as being god fodder unless they become JW. They all thought they was just very friendly people trying to sell a maz. Now they know better and many now know how to engage them in a conversation that may leave doubts with them. I have no idea what song to play from the old Wt. song book. Pick something that you feel would fit your talk from there song book. They have many good songs. Best of luck with you and your talk.

  We are an Evil Aposta-Family

  2. friends

  in the last 6 months my family and i have stopped attending cold turkey.

  it is incredible to me to see how our so called friends have dropped us like we were a snake covered in spiders.

  we actually havent really said anything to anybody about why we stopped.

  both reopened mind and i are now in our early 60's and it seems our conversations lately have been on putting everything up for sale and buying a rv and travel until we can't anymore.

  it has been a dream of ours for along time to see all the site's in the u.s. and canada.

  we feel we could make money as we go by selling and teaching using herbs and gardening.

  Thank you, Thank you and Thank you all for such great advice on this subject. You all have given us much encouragement and many things we have already thought of and many more we have not. You all have open our minds to great possibilities on what we can do. This is what I have glean from what you have all told me.

  1. financial planning is very important 2. Remember we are older we could get sick or even be in a auto accident 3. Have at lease 2 or 3 years of complete living expenses locked away 4. Establish a reasonable schedule before leaving 5. Make sure you have internet access 6. Read about other people who have done it 7. Rent a RV at first instead of buying one 8. Think about renting our home instead of selling it 9. If we get a RV get a simple well built one 10. Don't gamble all you have on this adventure 11. Expand our interest and travel to Europe 12. RV's get low gas mileage look at that expense 13. Keep your hous in FL 14. Look for discussion forums on the internet on RVing 15. Real estate appreciates but RV's depreciate 16. Have a base home to go to when health goes bad. 17. Do your math on RV repair 18. Think Wal-mart or other cheap places to set-up 19. Think about a camper or trailer instead of a motor home 20. Lease your home for a year and don't burn your bridges. 21. Never sell your real estate unless you absolutely have to 22. Remember we have a mortgage free home it may not be wise to give up. 23. Have alternative safety net. 24. Do Europe first on the cheap staying at hostels 25. Take advantage of renting both homes as vaction homes. 26. Time to go looking for my lost mind. LOL 27. Don't let anxiety take over, enjoy life one day at a time 28. Buy older camper not a motorhome 29. Do it for only a month and calculate your expenses to see if we can afford it 30. Look at web-sites on renting your home and web-sites on RVing.

  30 great points and I am sure when I read this post again I will get more idea's. This is what I love about this site. Again Thanks to all of you and maybe if we do end up RVing we will get to meet some of you wonderful folks. Still Totally ADD

  Hi Jamie how are you doing? I don't want to go to that house and live in FL. To many bad things happen there. I would sell it or rent it. I do not know yet. For the winter time we would be in the south somewhere. We lived in FL for over 40 years. That is about the last place I want to go to. I would rather explore some other state to see something new. We are just at the thinking this thing out stage right now also we would do this after we start getting our S.S. Boy has everyone given some great advice. This is what I love about this forum everyone has a diffrent viewpoints and that is what I need. I hope this finds you and your family well. Hope to someday come down to your place for a visit. Take care. Still Totally ADD

  I know what you mean about gas GrreatTeacher. My idea would be only 1/2 day to 1 day of driving then set for about 1 to 2 weeks before going to your next stop. Also I am thinking about buying a used RV no more than 10 years old and redoing it inside and out. That way I feel I would have no more than about $25,000 to $30,000 in it. There is no way I could afford a $150,000 RV and then loose half it's vaule as soon as you drive it off the lot. This is the only way it could work for us. Still Totally ADD
