hey all,.
almost finished with a "little free library" to set up in front of the house and was wondering if anyone else has put one of these up?
got to thinking that it may get filled up with my tots fav periodicals, watchtower and awake.. anyone else had any experience with this?
Unfortunately about a year ago I would've been a JW to fill your lovely little library with Watchtower and awakes (and maybe a bible teach book here and there). There are many free little libraries where I live and I would hit them all up when I was in early morning service. Easy way to pass the time and rack up the placement count.
I feel like I need to apologize to every business/home owner I littered with JW propaganda.
but i have been undercover for about 3 years.
recently i stopped going and faded(close to a year without stepping into the hall) .
an old flame of mine (who is active witness) came back into the picture.

You haven't been to the meetings in over a year. IF somehow they reach out, DONT take their call. A lot of people get in trouble because they're still actively attending the hall, and elders can't have someone commenting/giving talks/etc. if there's potential for a JC. IF they somehow get in touch with you, deny anything immoral happened. Don't deny you texted/saw her, because that could be easy to prove with text messages. But deny, deny, deny anything more than PG happened
this is mine....watch "coolio ft. l.v - gangsta's paradise (official music video)" on youtubehttps://youtu.be/cpgbzylnz7c

Losing My Religion
At first I was heartbroken but now I'm relieved.
ok, i've had some wine, but i'm curious.
objectively speaking, but for the religion, did you have enough in common with your spouse to have met and married as non believers?
i feel a little better i didn't believe in polygamy or that a volcano erupted and we flew out of them and came down to the earth or whatever scientologists believe.
but at the same time all 3 groups have the same cult qualities.
anyone who doesn't believe is called an apostate, members get shunned whether it's disfellowshipping or disconnecting.
i finally had the guts to create a profile to be able to post.
i've been lurking for a few months and have read all your experiences and comments dutifully.
you have been a great help in my process of waking up from this cult posing as the one true religion.
Hello and welcome! Best of luck in your wake
up process. This board is a great place to start.
but they don't forgive because they still shun people.
who they feel are not worthy of forgivenes.
it the question that i have found myself constantly asking myself the past few months.
out of all the jws i interact with, why did it have to be me that woke up from this mess?.
i am relieved that i have woken up to the bullshit, but a side of me misses that fuzzy feeling of being a 100% believer.
That's how I feel the majority of the time. Part of me misses the bliss of thinking I had all the answers. But overall, I'm happy to know TTATT because I can live a life of general freedom and not feel guilty for being disfellowshipped and then once I'm "back" I know I can live my life without the guilt of going in service enough or missing a meeting
have you noticed just how strong peer pressure is amongst witnesses?.
the desire to match or better one another's "spiritual accomplishments" or decisions in life?.
pioneering - because it is the "right" thing to do.. answering at meetings...perhaps multiple times - because it is the "right" thing to do.. choice of employment.
