I know what you mean, I have felt like that often in the past, for sure. I found two things that helped. 1 was to change something, even if was just small. I cut and dyed my hair. A new face to look at in the mirror. 2. I opened myself up to things that previously I would have dismissed, and it created a new road of thought for me. This can be anything really, for me it was spiritual things, but it could anything from spiritual things, to a new hobby, art perhaps? Anything that makes you emote. Just some ideas :)

People who make the truth EXCITING!
by slimboyfat ini have been fading for years now and attend meetings very rarely these days.
but something happened recently to make me think about going regularly again.
a couple have returned to my congregation who used to be special pioneers here twenty years ago.

There's plenty of people who are genuine and really nice. But it still comes down to the plain simple fact...there's only so much you can polish a turd.

Are you now involved in a different religion or structured group?
by feenx ini was browsing another post where wtwizard implied membership in another group, and was asked what it was.
that got me thinking...since coming out the society, has anyone embraced another organized religion or group, public or secret?
if so, what is it, and what made you join and continue membership?

I agree. F*CK conformity. I am not one of the herd. Once one loses their own, pure, train of thought...they lose themselves.

I personally am not a part of any organization. I toyed with the idea of going to a Mason lodge, but that was purely out of curiosity. I can't see myself being in any structured environment again, though I know not everybody feels that way. And as far as my beliefs I still choose no labels. I prefer the term Spiritual Anarchist. I think it's a very interesting thing to see how different people change in different ways after their JW exodus.

Cussing, swearing, & flippin' the bird....coping techniques?
by Lady Zombie insince my strategy for flying under the radar is to put some face time in at meetings, i found it neccessary to develop coping techniques so the top of my skull doesn't fly off from the insanity that is the jws.. profanity is one of my favorites.. if the bullshit factor gets to the point during the meeting where i begin to feel like barfing (happens a lot), i slip off to the ladies loo and lock myself in a stall.
since no one can see me, i'll sit on the toilet and flip the bird at the ceiling and the cackling jw hens that come into the bathroom.. when the final 'amen' is sounded, i scoop up my purse and books and rocket out the door.
once in my car and with engine started and radio going, i start cussing.

Do You Still Believe In Anything JWs Taught You?
by minimus inare there any beliefs that you learned from the witnesses that you still believe in?
-
-
feenx
I would say no. There are plenty of wonderful things I learned while being a JW, e.g. love your neighbor, the golden rule, you reap what you sow, etc., HOWEVER none of those things were actually taught to me by the society. They are all things I learned on my own.
The many things they attempted to teach me, the Bible is the only inspired word of god, our purpose in life, jehovah's lovingness, history, how to apply bible principles in life, etc. etc. etc. are all things i could not and will not ever subscribe to.
I will also agree that the ministry school was quite beneficial, just not for converting anyone. ;)

Some NASTY karma coming his way...
by feenx inseriously, james dobson has got to be one of the most vehement people i've ever heard.

well as the founder and chairman of Focus on the Family, he has the city of Colorado Springs in his pocket, and as an evangelist he's got a lot of "Christians" in his back pocket. Down in CO Springs he has a daily radio and TV spot, similar to the society's daily text, where he reads a scripture and gives his thoughts for the day. He's got enough pull that he was able to force the cable company to take of x rated movies from their pay per view. Yup, when you're down there you can't order porn. Between his HQ and the US Air Force academy down there, I steer clear of Colorado Sprigs. YUCK.
