Do you still shudder at the sight of a Elder?
by kls ini remember so long ago i thought elders were like a god and would always make sure i smiled at them and put on my innocent act in front of them .
even being out of the cult it took me years to finally get it through my head that they are human and not a god as they themselves think.
then one day a jw elder came to my door and at that time i had a newborn baby that i had been up with all night .

The life of a confused, proud, ignorant JW youth.
by Daunt inthis is an email my sister receieved (i know im bad but she just left it running here how can you expect me not to) talking about the "dating scene" of jw youth, specifically girls.
we all know these guys... you'd think they'd change up their routine!

The Shunning has begun.
by jt stumbler inmy cousin witness has replied to my email asking how things were going and that i haven?t heard from him in awhile.
after responding that he was doing ok he asked if what he had heard through the grapevine was true.
is it true that you wrote a letter to the local congregation denouncing your faith??.

On a POSITIVE note ...
by ljwtiamb ini have felt that this site is therapeutic for me, in that i can give voice to feelings that i have heretofore had to keep inside.
i also enjoy reading other's stories and learning that i am not alone.
although, many of us feel that we have wasted our lives on wt, there may also be a very positive side.

Did losing your religion send you into/exacerbate depression?
by SixofNine ini think most of us here agree that our past belief in the jw organization as being god's sole chosen people was delusional on our part.
for myself, when i lost that delusion (fairly abruptly too), i came out of a long period of depression immediately.
while i was incredibly angry at having been decieved, i can't say that that anger translated into any other negatives, in fact, overall, i think my general level of anger, even at elders/the gb/etc subsided, as i now understood why they do what they do even better than they themselves understand it.
