  my heart is heavy as i write this letter.

  i have been trying to live my life as best that i can since leaving jehovah's witnesses.

  my dad was not a witness and was my rock when i left the religion.

  I'm turning myself in. Lurking elders, are you listening?

  by Eve Deceived in

  i think it's fitting for my very first post to be a thread on jw.net turning myself in to any lurking elders out there on a witch-hunt to cleanse the congregation so that god's choosen ones can "remain in god's love.

  " so i'm sorry to all you awesome, truthful apostates on this site, but this thread is really intended for any lurking nazis -- i mean, the taliban -- ugh, i mean elders of the world's most "loving" cult religion.. i am an apostate.

  here, i'll save you the trouble:.

  i was just thinking the other day how small our family is now that we aren't jw's.

  we are thankful that we at least have our children!

  so where do you start?.

  i've been reading peoples experiences for several months now trying to figure out what i want to say but how do you put your whole life into a few words?.

  they got the dna to prove it.

  there are other dna studies, too - although the ones i've heard about concluded that it was an unknown primate, not a human.

  "newbie" post - after eight years registered

  by pajaha in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  actually, this is my second post as i replied to a thread a few moments ago, but it turns out i originally registered eight years ago but had never posted.. i left in 2000 (from a newport, s wales, congregation) having been brought up in it from about the age of three.

  initially, i was obsessed with research and posting to forums but got over it after a few years and just rediscovered this site a couple of days ago.

  i just thought it would be worth posting my account of leaving in case it helped others.. i always considered myself to be "strong in the truth" and genuinely believed it,, but i suppose the amount of suppressed doubts had been mounting up and i think it was the summer of 1999 when i first thought of leaving.
