Found Out I'm a JW urban legend...
by Tuesday ini don't think i've said but i have a sister that's a bit older than me, well actually 9 years older to be exact.
about a year ago we were discussing our whacked out childhood and she started talking about my mother at meetings sitting with a guy that she was interested in.
it kind of made sense to me because my parents got divorced around the same time i was born, my father ended up with a live-in girlfriend shortly after, my wife always tells me that couples don't split up unless they have another person in mind.

Ex-Circuit Overseers Write Books about Jehovah's Witnesses
by cabasilas insome of our new members may find these online books of interest.
two former circuit overseers (both of whom "served" in the uk) have published books about jehovah's witnesses.. the first was a circuit overseer in the early 1960s by the name of william stevenson.
he published his book shortly after the watchtower society started promoting 1975 as the date for the end of 6,000 years of mankind's existence.

Atheists - Please answer this
by Nellie ini guess i lean more towards an agnostic point of view; though if asked, i will still identify myself as a christian.
why, i'm not really sure if i'm honest with myself.
it all boils down to how i feel about the earth and all of the inhabitants thereon.

Does a Cult Background Assist Atheists?
by Perry inthe march 2009 american religious identification survey from trinity college and the march 7, 2009, national journal article on "rise of the godless" present the following data: .
when asked for their religious affiliation, 15 percent of americans say none, but only 0.7 percent say atheist ..... .
i present the above info just as a reminder that very, very few people consider themselves atheist despite decades of "scientific" propaganda suggesting otherwise.

Building new friendships
by troubled mind inon the thread about 'moving on after leaving the witnesses', it brought to mind how hard it is to build new friendships .. for me i have been out for a little over three years .
i knew before i quit that it would be important to fill the void that would be left when old "friends" began dropping us .
lucky for me i worked with some very fun out going people at my job .

Does staying in touch with family depend upon you?
by compound complex inif you didn't initiate contact with children or other relatives, would there be no communication whatsoever?
i realize that estrangement over jw-related issues is a huge factor.. i have friends whose grown children call daily.. does other's failure to stay in touch indicate indifference or simply sheer busyness, in your humble opinion?.
