Any born-ins have this attitude about converts?
by Nambo inso there was this great gang of us, from south london, manchester and wolverhampton, went to socialise with a group in fishguard in wales.. amongst the conversations one of the single sisters stated, "i could never marry anybody who used to be in the world".. i guess a lifetime of knocking on doors had given her the impression there couldnt possibly be a convert in her midst, never mind later alone with her in her mgb.. so whats with this, did you think we had rat scabies or were possesed by demons or something?.

Seductive Poison
by SophieG ini don't know who on the board recommended it, but i just finished it in a day.
riveting read.
i had seen the documentary about the jonestown massacre years ago and deborah laytons book kind of brought out a different perspective as someone waking up and trying to escape.

to date JWism has defined my life and i hate that TRUTH
by oompa inand i am finding the adjustment to the real world far more difficult than i ever imagined...i f...it has been about five years since i totally woke up to the fraudulant nwt and then all my other doubts i had carried for years were proved true as well.
but almost all of my few friends are exjw or slack jw's and i feel so isolated...my sons friends are mostly exjw too but not their gf's and they have way more normal friends .
how have you done at replacing lifelong friends and family?

I dont see why people stay in the JWs ?
by snare&racket ini really think it is a misconception to say leaving the jw's will destroy you and/or your family.. .
many people here stay as jw's despite posting very opposing views and beliefs.
i understand the difficulty of family reprisal.
