  Just got back ourselves. Wife and I faded, so far unscathed. This is the second year we decorated for Halloween and this Christmas will be the second time decorating. Last Christmas 2 elders came to our door while the decorations were up. We haven’t heard a thing about it from them since. With your husband forcing their hand, there may be no way to escape their pursuit. As already mentioned… 2 witnesses or it didn’t happen…if your lucky.

  Good luck. Keep us posted.

  I now realize how much I missed out on as a little one. My kids had SO much fun.

  Using the "C-Word" With My Wife

  by breakfast of champions in

  months ago, i commented on another thread about a strategy i was using to introduce my wife to the way cults work--without using the word "cult" and scaring her away.

  here's my first comment on that thread:.

  i pulled hassan's bite model off the internet and imported it into my word processor.

  yesterday, i got our credit card statement, and looked at the charges.

  My 5 year old did the same thing on an old apple device we didn’t use anymore. I didn’t know the cc info was on the device. It was charged only around $40.00. We contacted iTunes and told them our 5 year old didn’t have permission to make charges. They refunded us the money. We changed all of our device’s settings since then.

  this is my first time posting here, although i have been a visitor to it for around a year.

  after doing a simple google search under "jehovah'switnesses" over a year ago, i found ttat.

  i was deeply unhappy with the congregation and decided to educate myself, and boy what an education i have gotten so far.

  Welcome! Love the Da' letter.

  My peace of mind grew exponentially once I left the cult. Enjoy your freedom!

  Just Curious About Something

  by EmptyInside in

  sorry,couldn't think of a better title for this post,without it being long.. i was thinking this morning,if ex-jws, who were born into the group less likely to join another religion after leaving.

  vs. the witnesses who belonged to a church before joining the religion.. from my own prespective,being raised a witness,i have no intention of joining any religion.

  and it seems that born-ins are less likely to join a religion after leaving the cult.. in my own experience,i think it's religious burn-out to tell the truth.

  Wife and I were born in. She believes in a god / creator of some type. I do not. I doubt she will ever go to another church service. I have no need or desire to attend one.

  I now realize I didn’t as much as I thought. I was there for the promise. I was there for the lie I was spoon fed.
