If A JW Doesn't Know You No Longer Attend Do You Tell Them?
by minimus inevery once in a while i see some jws that live far away and they may come by for business or just to say hello, at my work.
if they don't know that i've stopped going, i don't bring it up.. do you feel the need to tell jws you haven't seen in a long time that you no longer go to meetings or believe?.

Why did you leave and did you still hold on to some beliefs for a while?
by happpyexjw inwhen you left the wts did you leave over something specific?
did you, or do you, still believe in some of the jw ideas?.
in my own case i left over a family issue i have mentioned elsewhere.

wedding anniversarys
by Adrianoblue inyou`ve probably had this topic before, but there always was this one thing which kept bugging me: here in germany it is pretty common for married jw couples to celebrate their wedding anniversary each year.
do jws in the us or elsewhere do the same?.
well, the reason i`m asking, is the fact that i never really understood what the hell is the difference between such an event and a birthday party?.

We Don't Want to Know Why You're Leaving
by passwordprotected inour exit from the watch tower society was fairly speedy.
within about 3 months, we'd ceased attending meetings and lost all of our friends (apart from hobo ken and his wife).. what was shocking - and only confirmed that we were right to leave - was how our decision was met by our so-called friends.. we were leaving behind people whom we'd enjoyed friendship for over 20 years.
we were leaving behind friends who were closer to us than our own families were.

Did you convert to become a JW?
by sacolton inwhat denomination did you originally belong to before becoming a jehovah's witness?.
i was methodist.
i was horrified when attending my first jw meeting and hearing the simple piano music over the speakers ... compared to the live orchestra performed at the methodist church.

The cult of confession
by megaflower inhow did you feel about telling(confessing) to elders either about yourself or something you saw that the society considered a sin against the organization?
personally, i never did because i always questioned most of the elders motive.
i did not want to be a busybody but there where many in the kh who were always monitoring others activities.

New Light! Revelations Is Not True!
by sammielee24 inok...we had a couple over today for a bible study.
very interesting conversation and quite enlightening.
we really wanted to be able to discuss the fallacy of the society based on it's own history.. skipped the intro and dove directly in to their watchtower of jan 15/09, back page.
