Help! Leaving the WT and realizing I'm a social misfit!
by 2pink inso, i'm 30-something and have been a lifelong jw, born and raised.
(yeah, i know double points against me on the social scale!).
i'm on my way out (and moving at a fast pace with that, lol) and um, am now realizing that outside of the kingdom hall, i am a bit of a social retard!

Fading fast and not sure how to proceed with the JW relatives...
by 2pink infirstly, my apologies for all the posts i've written over the past few weeks asking for help with all the issues that come with leaving the wt.
i realize i am all "take" and no "give" at this point, but i'll pay it forward at some later date, i promise!
so, as the title of this thread suggests, i'm fading fast....more disappearing than fading really.

Not just information to help people leave, but a community on the internet
by OnTheWayOut ina recent thread asked if ray franz's book was instrumental in people's decision to leave wts.
many left before the book was out, many left on their own without the book, most read it afterward and it was instrumental in their never going back.
a bunch of people got their information about wts from the internet.

Newly fading and having morbid thoughts about dying....is that normal?!
by 2pink ini have been having doubts for years about the org, but it's mostly been just the past couple of months that it's really all unravelled for me.
i'm at that stage now where i don't know what i believe about anything...esp about what happens when you die.. and maybe it's just cause i never had to think about death before (was always countin' on that resurrection in paradise earth!
), but lately i can't stop thinking about it!

If you pray, do you say 'Jehovah'...?
by wantstoleave injust wondering of those that pray and who have left the organisation, do you still address god as jehovah?.
i think i'm currently in that awkward stage where i'm neither in or out, yet don't feel i should even address, or have the right, to talk to god (jehovah) until i decide where i sit.
so i'm wondering if it's hypocritical to pray and use his name.

telling jw's your findings about the cult
by AwSnap ini'm finding that if you ask a jw a question as though you are completely confused (its got to be "sincere", not aloof), dumb, pondering, unsure, unconfident (that's the biggie), they will listen to what you have to say.
if you ask things with even a *hint* of cocky attitude or a 'let me show you what you don't know' attitute, their minds will shut off instantly.
just speaking from experience.
