  2. experiences

  i used to post here a lot a few years ago.

  this forum helped me out of the organisation with my husband and 3 boys.. we are now all more or less out and very happy.. me my husband and my youngest left almost instantly we realised the lie.

  my middle son gave us a little grief at first and then left when he understood what were were saying.

  Zoned out ' friends.'

  2. experiences

  this is a note i got from an old 'friend' when i contacted her on facebook.

  she was one of my closest jw 'friends' who shunned me, yet would greet me if she saw me in town or at an event.

  i thought she had some independent thought: i was wrong.

  2. experiences

  just received a phone call from a jw friend(unbaptised publisher).

  we had previously planned for her son aged 7 to come and spend the day with mine.

  when she phoned she said, 'he can't come, as he talks too much' he has obviously told someone that he is coming to see us on saturday.

  A really annoying text

  2. experiences

  this is a really irritating text that i received from an old jw acquaintance.. .

  i would like to tell you that the latest book we received 'keep yourselves in god's love', says that jw have to strictly avoid someone disfellowshipped.

  the same applies to someone who left organization.

  A phone call from the elders.

  by strawberry cake in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my husband and i left the org about 6 months ago and in voicing our views we were shunned.

  the elders who were 'friends' treated us with cold efficiency to the letter of their law.

  one older elder played 'good cop' and invited us over for a heart-to-heart.

  i have a friend,who i used to study with for quite a while.

  she was slowed down in her 'spiritual progress' because she had to work tuesday nights.

  so couldn't get to all the meetings.this prevented her from becoming a publisher for many years.
