"No Apologies is no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses"
by No Apologies insometimes i just don't know when to keep my big mouth shut.
today i think finally said enough to get da'd.. for those of you just tuning in, a recap: about 2-3 years i came to realize everything i had been taught as a jw was a load of steaming turds.
since then i have managed to fade away more or less, without incident.

Which aspect of JWs would you like to see a documentary about?
by Gadget inif you had a chance to make a documentary about some aspect of the jws, what would ou choose?
would you talk about shunning, the blood issue, explain how its a cult, or what?
unfortunately this would only be for an 8 minute segment on a current affairs programme so i need something that'll get peoples attention and make them think without having to go too deep into the subject.. what would you choose to talk about?.

The story of my life (part 7- Bethel, the end)
by onacruse inya know, it's odd how the "big" things just sometimes seem to bounce off your forehead, rather like seeing the trees instead of the forest.
well, fwiw, that was the state of mind (if you can call it that) i was in, after less than a year at bethel.
i was reassigned to the night-shift janitorial crew.

Colorado cong ...
by sammielee24 in...i have been df'd for over a year now and will never again be part of this cult...that being said, i was born and raised only in the 'truth' with no contact with 'wordly' people.
all of my family remain zealous members including my children who refuse any communication with me whatsoever...i have been learning how to live within the world over the past year instead of separate from it and things are going well in that regard.
i have just heard that one of my kids will be married in a couple of weeks to a member of the congregation in greely...i was not invited of course and only heard of it through the grapevine...needless to say i am extremely saddened by the seething hatred that i've been shown and total lack of respect and consideration.

Hi New Here!
by weinermcgee inhi folks whats up?.
i grew up as a strict jw until my early 20's when an event happened that made me start thinking for myself, thank goodness.
what i mean by strict was i think most of you will undertsand that i really believed in what i was doing, baptised at the age of 13, seriously considered bethal, pioneered and was offered to be a ministerial servent.

I Can't Believe JW Relative Called

his mom calls once every few months, but only to ask for money (yes, she is a mooch).

did you not visit with them?
did you keep your kids away from them?
