Meangirl-- I envy your courage. I have been keeping my feelings about being raised in the JW religion a secret. My mother hardly ever calls me, but when she does, we politely skirt around the issue of my inactivity, and talk about day to day things. I want so badly to tell her the things I have learned, but I just don't have the guts. Bravo for you!

Email I sent to mom after huge fight today
by meangirl inwell my mom and i got into a pretty bad argument today over the phone.
it basically came down to the fact that she couldn't handle what i was saying about the organization, etc and all she could come back to me was that i "hated her?
" i guess i just wanted to share and vent a little too....thanks for letting me do so.. .

Even ff JWs ARE right, MadJW will not be in paradise
by brotherdan inthe strange thing about madjw is that he defends what he calls "truth" yet ignores everything about "truth" that has to do with "love".
even in a small amount.. so let's say that the jehovah's witnesses are right, madjw.
you aren't going to be with them in their beautiful paradise earth.

He should be worried. He is putting himself in the place of God, and that is a very bad place to put himself in.

I agree with you Brother Dan. He is not the judge.

I think that accepting people and loving them the way they are is the key. Just because they do not believe the way you do, does not make them wrong. If Armegeddon is coming the way that MADJW thinks that it is, then yes, I think that he should worry. "Judge ye not lest ye should be judged yourself." I think that that must be one of the most inspired verses of the bible. We are not the judge.

Welcome! I grew up thinking that I was wicked because I had so many doubts, and I did not enjoy meetings and field service. Once I stopped trying to ignore my doubts, and actually started to investigate them, I was blown away! Even though there are still hardships in my life, I feel so much freedom! I have never been happier, I hope that this is your experience too. It is overwhelming, some of the things that you will discover, but take a deep breath, and take it one day at a time. Glad you are here!

hi i am new here
by dawntodaylight ini had started studying with jw because i was curious about the religion because my bf then(now husband) was a witness.
i am a very open minded person and really had i known what i know now i prob would not have been baptized.
i always had my doubts but i really enjoyed the positive aspects that i was learning at the meetings...i studied with my mom in law.i prob shouldn't have done that because she has taken it very personal that we have stopped and even had the nerve to say i started studying to get in good with the fam!!

I was never DF'ed, I wasn't abused, I never lost a loved one to the ban on blood
by OnTheWayOut instrange title, huh?.
the point is that i wasn't "burned" in some incredible way by wts and i don't carry a huge chip on my shoulder from some incredible injustice from wts or the local elders.. i say this because some people have constantly accused me of being really screwed over by my experience because of my comments on others' threads.
i explained myself there for my reasons, but wanted to repeat what those reasons are here in my own thread.. i explained on some post somewhere that i had felt that i experienced "divine intervention" in my life at one time and that same intervention ended my suicide attempt.

Thank you OTWO. This only confirms my beliefs about the ORG. I did have some painful experiences with the elders in my hall, but the again, I am a woman. But it is good to know that you and others, did not have these experiences and still came to the same conclusion. It makes me feel more validated in my decision. Not that I need it, even if Armageddon were just right around the corner, and all of the JW prophecies were true, I still could not be a part of this religion. It would be like saying, " Okay Hitler, I will believe what you want me to, just don't kill me...."
