Another one sucked in
by feelinglost inevery once in a while i can get my mom to give me the latest on what's happening with the people i used to know and/or be friends with.
she tells me they ask about me (yeah, right, why didn't they ask about me, or rather come talk to me, when i had stopped going to meetings before i got df'd?).
so anyways, she says guess who's getting baptized?

hello all - new here
by GoingGoingGone inhello everyone, this is my first post.... i'm in the process of fading after being a jw my entire life (almost).
i don't go to meetings anymore..... hubby's an elder, and boy, is he mad.
he still makes the kids go with him to meetings, service, etc... they hate it and i feel sorry for them, but there's not much i can do about it.. i've been feeling lonely today, i do miss my friends sometimes, and i have really good friends, but since i don't go to meetings i never see them much anymore.

Phone Witnessing...
by RichieRich inin my congregation, there is a well established group that does phone witnessing every thursday.
the society actually encourages us to try other avenues of ministry, however it seems like phone witnessing is hurting more than its helping.... even i, the covert apostate, don't mind phone witnessing.
i mean whats not to love?air conditioningfoodsitting around and talkinggirlsdid i mention food?.

Name Some Double Standards of Jehovah's Witnesses
by minimus inhere's one: a jw cannot lie ' liars are subject to the "second death".
but if you "lie" for the interests of the organization, suddenly it's not a "lie" after all!
because the opposers are not "entitled" to know.

Truth is, I am just sick of being a witness.
by joelbear inwhy do people get disfellowshipped.
i mean, when i met with the elders and told them i had gone to key west and done the homo thing, they said, well if you don't do it again we won't df you.
well the truth was, i just didn't want to be a jehovah's witness any more, so i said, well i'll be doing it again i reckon.. isn't this true of most people who get df'ed.

Another marriage bites the dust because of JW beliefs
by unbeliever ini know very few people who have been successfully married where 1 spouse is a witness and the other is not.
i know there are a few examples on this board.. a couple that i know irl have split after nearly 25 years of marriage because of the stupid shunning shit.
one of their 3 children got df'd 6 months ago and that is when everything fell apart apparently.

Fun with Shunners ;)
by damselfly ini used to try and avoid running into jw's after i was first d/f, but the past few years i have taken a different spin on it.
at my old job as a cashier if i was the only cash open then they had no choice but to have me wait on them.
the apprehension on their faces as they approaached was hysterical.

What do you miss most about being in the truth ?
by prophecor inevery once in a while, i'll drive thru the blocks of our old territory, remebering the friends, how we would share time in the ministry.
reminiscing about those i left.
every so often, i'll pull out the old photographs.
