  Do you ever actually tell your family you're not coming back? What do I do?

  i've been "inactive"for four years now.

  i am quite proud of myself for making it this far since i moved out on my own at 22 for the first time.

  i've remained in school, try to live a balanced and productive life and still drive home to visit my parents at least once a month (they live 45 minutes outside of the city) luckily, my parents and i still remain close (as much as a baptized inactive child and still fanatic jw parents are able to be) and besides my mom's constant pestering about me attending meetings again and coming back to the troof, i haven't had to much stress from them or the elders.

  how do you meet other ex-jws in your town safely?

  i've tried meetup.com, apostafests, but they always only have about 3 or 4 members and they happen to be far away.

  Hello All old and new members..StillAwitness..4 years later

  i became a member of this site at 20. i was baptized at 14 but by 16 i realized that the jw religion was anything but the truth and i made it my perogative to seek out ansewrs.

  the internet can be a dangerous thing, the society always warns and i soon began to understand their fear against it.

  after stumbling on many anti-witness sites like this one i was able to breath a sigh of relief and and realize "ok, i'm not crazy or going to burn in armageddon for feeling this way.

  HELP! Trying to convince my parents I am going to meetings!

  a few weeks ago i posted about about how my parents have been asking about wether or not my card has been sent to my "new congregation" since i moved out in july.

  up until now, i have been stalling not knowing wether or not i wanted to just come out and say "i have not been going to meetings" or not take any action at all.

  well someone left an interesting piece of advice on my thread that i have been contemplating doing.that maybe, perhaps i should just have my card sent to a congregation that isn't anywhere near the actual city i live in.

  an elder in my hall finally called me after 7 months after me moving out on my own.

  he was inquiring about how i was doing and which hall i needed my publishers card sent too.

  (of course i did not ansewr and he left a message) up until now, my parents still think i go to meetings (although even my mom has been wondering why my publishers card has not been sent over) i keep stalling insisting i don't know why and that i am regular at meetings and service.

  well, i been "living in sin" for about 5 days now and aside from an elder asking if i was gonna still do a talk i was scheduled for this past monday (i told him no of course.

  he knows i moved out and only asked about my literature) i finally worked the nerve to download the application for this season's america's next top model.

  i've been modeling for some time now and i figured what the hell...i have nothing to lose but $3.95 in postage.

  An elder just called me...just need some quick advice on how to handle it.

  hey guys,

  quick question: one of the elders just called me about a talk i am supposed to give tomorrow night.

  well its obvious he is not aware that i don't live at home anymore (he made the comment that he hasn't seen me in awhile but figures its cause of the recent district convention stuff) and for me to let him know either way wether or not i would be giving the talk.
