I don't want to be a Jehovah's Witness anymore, but I'm scared of losing my family- Story On Australia's ABC
by fulltimestudent inthe abc is a government owned media group, and today's web-page included this story:.
its formatted as answers to specific questions, and in response to the question, "why did you stop believing" comes a story we hear much too often.. the special thing about the story this time is that likely millions of australian will read her story.. https://www.abc.net.au/life/i-dont-want-to-be-a-jehovahs-witness-anymore-or-lose-my-family/11885098.
the article also reminds us that australians are giving up on religion in increasing numbers.. quote: "it seems australians are increasingly giving up on god — or at least religion.. on the last census in 2016, nearly a third of australians (30 per cent) reported they had 'no religion' — the highest number of people ever to do so, and up 11 per cent on 2006.".

My wife and I have begun our fade
by James Jack ini haven’t posted in awhile.
my wife asked me after the year 2000 came and went without fanfare(because the wt organization said all the “new world” would be here within this 20th century would end), “ what would it take for you to leave the truth?”.
my reply was “ if i turn 60 in this “system of things”.

Australian Royal Commission question looking back
by Aussie Oz inafter all the attention the royal commission focused on the wt and the damning report that came out, has anything changed at the congregational level or to wt policy?.
i am getting the sense from what i have found that really it accomplished little more than embarrassing the wt and upsetting the jws for a while.. am i wrong in that thought?.

My "shameless" relationship with my ex wife
by Jayk ini've thought about keeping this to myself but i'm still confused on what i should do.. my ex wife(never been a jw) and myself(raised in the org till 16)have been reconnecting these past few weeks.
we been divorced for almost 10 years, we got married when we where pretty young, and it didnt last long.. fast forward 10 years, her and i have been reconnecting and things are getting semi serious.. she got remarried, divorced again, and recently broke up with her gf.
so in the past 10 years she has only been with 3 people (including myself) and here comes me "a sucker with no self esteem".
