  As A Witness You Never Can Do Enough!

  the jw rollercoaster continues!

  if you still have to go to meetings, i sympathize with you.

  i know a few that keep up appearances so that they do not lose their loved family members.

  well, kinda.

  i'll be moving across country in a few weeks and i want to get a different perspective on this religion.

  so i'm playing the theocratic warfare card, rather than let them know i was once a witness and now disfellowshipped, i'll just pretend to be interested and maybe accept a bible study..lol.

  at some point, there will be something that will trigger and set them off to knowing you may know more than letting on. if that is your plan, i hope it works for you. but be careful, you may get more than you bargained for.

  when i was in full hard core, myself and another brother had this guy we had started a study with. he called the kh one day and said he was interested and had some familiarity with jws. turned out he was df'd from another congregation and was not forthcoming with information. we found out because we got a phone call one day from a brother that was with his former congregation that had caught wind that he had moved to the general area of where we were at. turned out that he had mentioned to a neighbor that he was moving to a new area and when an elder from his old congregation was checking in on him to see about getting him back to the meetings, he found he wasnt there. so he was talking to a neighbor who said that he had moved and mentioned the area that he moved to. so they called the kh of the area that they thought he had moved to seeing if he had turned up there and if we could trace him through the post office - before tracking people on the internet was easily done. when he said the name, bells went off. turned out he was trying to get in with the new congregation for job opportunities and some financial assistance.

  hello everyone.. i'm new to this forum.

  i left the organization several months ago, and am on a new path now.

  though i didn't grow up in the organization, i have basically lived a life of pretending to be something i'm not, sheltering my feelings from everyone, and not feeling "enough" to anyone.

  it was only this past weekend that i finally stated (both aloud and in print) that i would never attend another meeting again.

  like many brothers before me, i have decided to symbolize this new dedication to freedom for myself and my family with a beard..
