I'm not going back...finally
by lostinthought init has been several years since my awakening.
since then i have stopped pioneering, stopped doing temp work at bethel, stopped field service (at the most, i went out a few hours a month for the last couple of months), my meeting attendance has been around 50 percent or so.
i have decided not to go back.

Happiness/unhappiness
by lostinthought ini was told by a family member the other day "if you want to leave jehovah, go ahead.
but don't think you'll ever be happy.
all the people i know who have left got burned by the world and they come back to the truth".

Disfellowshipping/dissassociating vs. fading?
by lostinthought inok, advise needed my friends!
the idea of fading sounds really nice to me and i would love to do it, but i'm just a big "chicken" and can't bring myself to stop all the jw nonsense.
i continue going to meetings and service out of some sort of fear, i know if i start missing too many people will be bothering me with phone calls and visits and such and they will sucker me into toing back.

Great quote from the brochure "road to life"
by lostinthought ini don't know if anyone has ever posted this beautiful gem of a paragraph but page 25 paragraph 3 states:.
3 if that happens to you, how will you react?
many people know that their way of worship is wrong, yet they hesitate to break free from it.

Journal entry
