  greetings and warm wishes to everyone out there...

  this is my first post here on the site, though i have spent many countless hours as a guest reading and reading your posts and conversations.

  they have been a great encouragement to me, who as a young woman was disfellowshipped from the society about nine years ago.

  Thinking of becoming a Witness again and my reasons for doing so :(

  i've been a faded jw for 10 years i left because of my failed first marriage, i'm no hypocrite and realised i had left completely so i embraced the world and dived in, only christmas and birthdays i could not get into, they were too foreign to me having never celebrated them, like if i suddenly tried to do ramadan or something like that.. 1/ all the criticisms of the people in the truth you say on here, i've found in the world, warts and all only in the world nothing holds them back from being utterly horrible to you.. 2/ i got stabbed by a worldly boyfriend, i got married 2 times of my own choosing to men outside the truth, the first smoked and was an alcoholic, the second gambled every penny we had and defrauded me out of money after we separated, 2 divorces later i am currently pregnant and a single mum since current boyfriend decided kids was to much of a responsibility and he needed his freedom and i was 'too selfish to expect him to give up his life'.. 3/ parents-in-law!

  i have been shunned by them as equal to anything you accuse witness families of and for the silliest of reasons, i had a disabled son and his grandparents said they wanted nothing to do with him because they didn't want to become attached in case he died.. 4/ i miss the honest friendships of the truth, i had friends of all ages from 14 to 80 years old and they genuinely cared for me, many trying to keep me in the faith a long time after i left but i was determined to fade so moved away completely, but i find friendships in the world so shallow in comparison and very hard to sustain :( i've never been a drinker and sometimes thats what friendship means you being a companion for them to goto pub with.. 5/ my recent boyfriend was in a christian religion, i thought why not find out about it, harvest churches if you ever heard of them, unfortunately it still hasn't stop him leaving me pregnant and alone and when i said to him how does he clear that with god, he replies "as long as i repent it doesn't matter" it's like he has a "get out of jail free card" for any wrong-doing in the bible, this is so alien to me and my witness trained conscience.. 6/ i recently out of frustration tried looking into atheism and joined their forums, it wasn't fun, they are as bombastic and arrogant as their religious counterparts can be from any religion, they make a religion out of not believing in god, it's very weird they talk of saving people from believing in god and offer nothing to replace it.

  they said to me "be happy you are in reality now and enjoy it" and i thought "well if this is reality i've had enough of it".

  hi there, i would like to share with you my personal story. i'm 32 male, asian, moved to the states 17yrs ago, raised as jw , disfellowshipped 8 yrs ago. i was raised a jw in a communist country ( one extreme country and one extreme mind control religion) since my entry to 1st grade i was taught flag salute was wrong so every monday i had to stand behind a bigger kid try not to salute the flag or sing the anthem, most of the time i wasn't to lucky. i was either beaten up or stood on my knees in front to school so every students will know that i was a bad citizen, there were times i begged the teachers not to beat me up because it was very painful. i went home lying to my mom that i was bad at school that why i was punished. opposite from that i was a very smart student you all know about asian kids being smart at school rite, i was above that as well. i was a popular among kids and most teachers loved me because i was charming. in a communist country, they brainwash you that everyone is equal and receive fair shares , yes they are rite, we're all equally poor and receive fair shares which are nothing. they had no regards for freedom ( as long as u act the way they want u to then you'll receive the freedom to live), in another way you will get killed if you have any thoughts. with that in mind i still stood up and held my head high. i was alone, i often pat myself on the shoulder that i did a good job, because i received no support. one thing the kept me going and until now is that in my mind i tell myself regardless of what i do i am and always God's favorite kid well, jehovah's witness has elevate themselves to the Truth( above everyone) just like communist. they set themselves for great criticisms, but they refuse to take it like a man, in my case i took it like a boy 6 year of age you see. they are very much like a communist. they are a closed community w/ great circle of friends but if u had any other ideas then they willing to turn against you. they teach everyone's equal under Jehovah's eye, just like the communist, but the ones that control everybody is a very small group. they change their teachings years after years and claiming that it's because they've been enlightenned , but do you know how many lives had lost because of that, a lots. but there were no apology, because it was Jehovah's spirit guided them. when u belong in a group it's natural that they will protect you. but we're all belong in a group of human that share the earth so someone in this group eventually will find and protect you. u must walk with your head hold high and that you are the Grand Creator's favorite daughter and you will make your life count. we're all are equal under Jehovah God not a small group of men, and that is the Truth. best wish to you, keep getting up, phivu
