To all active JWs or double life JWs

one of the previous posts made me wonder how many active jws post on this site and how many of you are only in because not wanting to lose your family and you are leading a double life and also how many of you are still active but questioning.

please, all of you, i would like to hear your stories (of course not enough info to give away your identity) and why you are still in.

i think a lot of us that are out would be interested.. nowimfree.

email drive

we are still working to collect email addresses of jehovah's witnesses and others who may be interested in the blood issue.. this is a means for there to be direct exposure for otherwise close-minded jws.

many are reading the ap new article in their paper.

Question for JWs still on the "inside":
by Hellrider in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
just a question: if you are still jws (for any reason, many just can`t leave because their entire families are wrapped around it, etc), but don`t believe in it, and lead a "double life", how do you cope with going door to door?

i just can`t imagine how it must feel like to go out there and try to tell people at the doors or in the streets things you know are just bs!

how do you deal with that?

What is your rating?
by billyboy in

as a bit of a newbie , i'm interested as to the overall viewpoint of site users and spectrum of views.. using a crude gauge , where 1 = completely convinced "stepford"jw ("jhs organisation is wonderful etc") and 10 is a completely rabid "tear down the tower" apostate/ex-witness pathalogically hating the whole jw structure , where do you fit in?

(apolgies to both groups - no offense intended).. i'm about 2.5 - somewhat disillusioned , keen for reforms in certain areas but broadly accepts the teachings and loves the lifestyle.

would never leave.

just wondering who is going to college now and/or who attended college after leaving the jws.

what is/was your major and how do/did you find the experience?

do you find it difficult to choose a major?

Quotes from "Clothe Yoursleves With The New Personality" Assembly
by Inquisitor in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
"i use my time wisely by not spending it with my worldly friends..." and so you chose to spend it with people who devised rules that shut up their female members (with the exception of elders' wives who are skilled manipulators of men and power), ban moustaches and beards (for men too) and frown on higher education.

wise indeed!.

"we cannot find such joy (construction of new kingdom halls) in the jobs that we do in the world..." never had a fat paycheck waved in your face, have you?.
