Update on my life since I left
by strawberry cake ini 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.

THE ELDERS JUST KNOCKED ON MY DOOR
by Mary ini was asked what i thought when i saw all the bad things going on in the world and about how close we are to the end.
i replied "jeff, i simply do not believe that it's going to happen in my life time.
" he was momentarily stunned and said "well, when have things ever been this bad before?

Am I a Rebel Without a Cause?
by wobble ini suppose the first answer i will get is,"well something must have caused you",but my point is that being born in to the jw's,all my life,or rather the 58 years i was in,as soon as someone told me what to do i thought "why should i?".
i now find that,apart from rejecting nearly all jw views,i am saying to myself "should i?
" to things that people want me to do.. do you find yourself much more positive since leaving?

OUCH! This is what I get for riding a bike in the middle of spring!
by ColdRedRain intoday, i was riding my bike with my gf and my bike hit a pothole.
because my mtb is on blocks so to speak, i had to ride my road bike so the shocks didn't dampen the bump.
now, here's the bad news.

Why do they never invite you for a meal but always encourage you to attend meetings?
by truthseeker intoday, an elder in my hall phoned and left a message saying he would stop by with a memorial invitation.. this elder has never bothered to encourage me in the past when i was missing meetings, yet suddenly he remembers me in the run up to the memorial.. i got to thinking about this - a few in our congregation called us when they found out we were inactive, encouraging us to go back to meetings.
or they would say, "it's the co visit next week, you have to come listen to his talk.".
i would give these "genuine ones" their due - they made an effort - but, when i think about it what effort have they actually made?.

Is it really just innocent words?
by lonestar63 infrom what i've read on here, i understand many of you have a certain amount of anger over the way the society controlled every aspect of your lives.
thats understandable.
i still have a bit, even though my fade is complete.. that being said, i think everyone on here has a goal to help those that are still trapped inside the mind controlling cult.
