Good for you!
If you get a good education, you will show them by having a great life & not becoming a fulfilment of their "prophecies" of what happens when you leave. Remember, living well IS the best revenge!

.....and i'm out....
by red so deep inwell, after a 4.5 hour long judicial meeting with my local elders i found out i'll be df'ed here in about a week and a half.
i don't think it was so much my offense (smoking ciggs and weed) but my attitude.
the elders were trying to draw out some repentance, but i was pretty straightforward about the politics and hypocrisy in the org, especially in the case of the neighboring congregations elder body, who seem to be on a witch hunt for me and my friends....when one of the elders asked my how i felt my actions affected jehovah, i brought out that example in the old testament where the boys were making fun of the bald priest or prophet, then he got pissed and called down evil on them *in the name of jehovah* and the she-bears devoured the poor kids.

I always get thet "chinese character" message on here too.
I would start by tape recording these conversations, keep a log of them, & look into how to trace them & file a police report then. That would be a start.

"I noticed you are on a JW site, DID YOU KNOW I AM A JW?????"
by Jez ini was at university the other night in the computer lab, cruising this site, well a fellow classmate who has been in my class since sept and we have become friends, walks past, looks at the site i am on and says, "i noticed you are on a jw site, did you know i am a jw, are you one?".
i was shocked.
i turned to him and let loose,.

we just renounced our belief in the wtbts 2 hors ago,but still love jehovah
by ko38 inafter reading ray franzs 2 books and much information on this site we did a search comparing wt qoutes and had a local elder soon to be circuit ovsr at our house and the funny thing was he was unaware of much of the early wts.he also expressed some doubts when he applied to be a ministerial servant and they sent him back a letter making him an elder.his wife was here and when we brought coc out she jumped up like a person on fire.
the elder asked where else could we go?so there is doubt amoung the elders for sure.
i have a sense of loss however cannot support a self proclaimed prophet that is contrary to scriptural teaching and associated with falsehood and bloodguilt.

Advice needed
by jt stumbler ini'm a person who is too hard on myself and i care too much about what people say about me.
how do i explain to the "home congregation friends" on the next "shepherding call" that i have begun to research the "society",and i'm having second thoughts about what i have been taught all these years?
i'm really fearfull of becoming shunned, but i guess i already am.

How sad
By now, most posters here know what advice the elders would give, & what they will say now. "he wasn't a baptized, jw". "he was weak in the truth". They will probably distance themselves from the whole thing.

Good for you! Be brave & go for it! It will take time & work, but you can do it.
This is a great use of your life & time! Much better than getting drunk & making a fool of yourself, trying to get back the adolescence you never had & thought you missed. It can't be done.
I truly believe living well IS the best revenge, & there is nothing that makes the jws any more upset than someone getting out & vastly improving their life. They just don't understand it if you don't fulfil their "prophecy" of nothing but unhappiness for those that leave.

They are making me mental!
by CeriseRose inno, not jws (although if i think too long about it, i'm sorely tempted to decorate my car a la christmas and park it at the kh during a meeting... *evil grin* ).
i belong to a 'non-religious' message board (have since 2001) that seems to have a large proportion of newly-arrived christians on it.
normally, i could care less if they're there; the topic is not religion, there's plenty of places to post that don't even smack of religion.

I don't know how THAT happened
Anyhow, any kind of imbalance thet people insist on inserting into topics having nothing to do with it, is irritating! Really reminds me of the jws. Inability to discuss anything else or keep on a different topic for 10 minutes without the infringement on rights.
