Have you had this happen to you?
by Andyman inas a jw i remember being told that we never really did enough.
it didn't matter how hard you tried, it just never seemed like we did enough for the "congregation" or the "society.. i remember all the talks about what would happen if you left the "oganization".
how your life would be miserable, you would be like the dog returning to your own vomit, etc.. how long does this last?

Moment of Truth/ Cognitive Dissonance
by Zep inso how long have all you guyz here been apostates anyway, just curious?.i mean, it must be kind of cool to reflect and think...."well, heck, i'm a damned freaking apostate" or altleast a closet apostate, of which most of you are, i think?, right?.yeah, such a cool label is "apostate" huh!.but i'm interested, just how did all here personnally come to realise 'the truth' aint really that?, what set you on that track and made you look outside the bounds of wt literature into so-called apostate areas.. and what finally convinced you that its all just a heap of nonsense?
and forced you to shockingly conclude you had been living a lie?.what did it do to you at that moment, i mean, how did you deal with this blatant self admission that the wt was wrong?
did it crack you up or what...or did you just laugh it off or something?..

Jehovah or Jahwe??
by mgm inis it important to call god by his right name?.
if so, jehovahs witness should change to jahwes witness.
it is no doubt among scientist anymore, that jahwe is the right form of gods name.

Since I don't know a lot of you...
by Tishie inwould anyone mind doing one of those famous internet introduction sessions?.
since i completely and thoroughly filled out my profile, i think you all know enough about me :) and if you are bad, bad people, you might even know my history with the jws.
but, i'll give you the run-down, since i'm asking.. my real name is teresa (tishie being a nickname from my husband [tish, actually], which i adapted for the 'net about 5 or 6 years ago because i didn't like running into other teresas... eh, rf?)..

Are JW's really seperate from the world?
by Andyman ini have done alot of posting on different boards since i started on the internet.
i have found that jw's are really not as "seperate" from the world as they claim to be.. as a jw i was told we had to be "seperate" from the world.
you know, get drunk, use drugs, abuse our families, cheat on taxes, lie, be greedy, etc.. but from what i have seen in my old congregtion, and the stories i have read here and on other boards, this statement isn't really true.

those who simply cease to be involved in the faith are not shunned.
