Since Leaving "The Truth" Are You Really Happier?
by minimus inwitnesses say that when people leave "the truth", they get involved in a debauched life, misery, and general unhappiness.. they give experiences of some that left the "sweet fellowship" of the "brotherhood" and the awful results because of it.
then, they come back and their lives change 100% for the better!.
have you found life to be miserable and unproductive since "leaving jehovah"?.

Still believe it's the truth?
by IronHill ini was speaking to a friend who has also disassociated themselves as a jehovah's witness.
the curious thing to me is that this person, although having some doubts, still has the feeling that the witnesses have the truth.
they get extremely uncomfortable when the subject of religion comes up, and have a hard time coinciding what they are doing now, and their thoughts on the jw religion.. it feels like the times i have talked about the witnesses (feeling we share the same sentiments), that wall that most witnesses put up, goes up for them as well.. i dont understand...why would they still feel this way?

Do you think you are forever damaged by the Watchtower??
by noni1974 ini've been out since 1998 so i've had time to learn how to be normal.
i've had time to get over the pain and hurt of shunning by those who claimed to love me.
i really can't blame them because my mom was born in too.

Did your parents' zealousness ever embarass you?
by keyser soze inmy dad was/is very zealous about announcing his faith.
but he doesn't quite have the knack for it, or the tact.. case in point: when i was a kid, about 12 i think, him, my brother and i were walking into a department store when we encountered a lady out in front who was passing out leaflets for a political candidate.
it wasn't even a major election.

panty Hose at Meeting?
by hamsterbait ina friend of mine went to work in ny for a few months.. it was the middle of summer, and baking hot.. after the meeting an elder approached her and asked why wasnt she wearing panty hose at the kingdumb hell.. she said its too hot.. he said it disrespects jehoobie.. she said "so does staring at my legs during the meeting.".
i have also heard complaints that a bra strap might be visible under a blouse, so cardigans should still be worn.. how do these creeps cope when sitting on a beach?.
who was the gibbering buddy who sunbathed on the roof of beth hell showing off his packet in skimpy trunks?.

At a 2 day assembly ...the point that the brother spoke about that drove me mad....."don't hug your husband, wife or child during prayer".
by crazy2try ini attended one day of a two day assembly and did ok until the very last talk.
the brother was from bethal and well jw's pay closer attention to their talks, cause that is when some new info is given,,,right.
well anyways i lost focus and began to daydream, cause it became one of those talks that just talks about wasting time.

Friends, put more white space in your text. I can't read big fat blobs of text.
by gubberningbody ini can, but i likely won't.. .
in school they teach you to indent and make new paragraphs when changing a subject etc., however the online-media requires more white space for it to be legible.. .
even if you're fascinated with your story, it won't be read by many unless you give us some place to rest and take a breath.. the whitespace is where we get to breathe.. .
