Don't Let Your JW Past Keep You Down!
by minimus ini know many who were witnesses hate their past, their decisions, their wasted time.. but you know what??
it's not so bad now.
at least we are out, either mentally, physically or both.. and now, we know better!.

It's true. It's the past, there's nothing you can do. Talk to a psychologist about it, find ways to deal with and move on. Focus on the present and the future.
Minimus - every weekend I feel so free and happy, Sunday's especially feel like a gift!

When I first gave blood I truly felt like I was doing a true life saving work for the first time ever. The feeling was amazing.

That's great. I'm now a blood donor too. My son who has just finished cancer treatment has had 40+ blood and platelet transfusions since last Summer so I'm always grateful to everyone who donates. Please donate if you can!

I wasn't allowed to bring toys when I was a child but I always brought a bag with books, colouring in books, toys, snacks etc for my children to keep them busy. They were 2 and 4 when we stopped going. Meetings were a nightmare, so long and boring for them.

If you love her and want to spend the rest of your life with her and she feels likewise, then you should marry her. Life is too short, don't let JWs control your whole life.

I am now inactive!
by Laika inthe last report i gave in was for the month of may, meaning as of today, i have missed 6 months of reports, and am officially inactive!
(though the last time i actually went out was march, gave fake reports for april and may).
feels like a milestone.

Congratulations. I last turned in a field service report in March so haven't knocked a door in almost 9 months now. Before that I only went out in service about 2-3 Times between Jan and March. Haven't set foot into a KH since April, it feels amazing to have my own mind. I really really really hated field service, it was torture, I'm an introvert plus looking back it was probably even harder because deep down I think I knew it was all bull@$&!

Did having kids make your decision to leave easier or harder?
by Comatose ini was thinking about a few things confusedandalone said the other day.
i mirrored his thinking identically.
for me it was having kids that made my decision to leave an easier one.. if i had no children, i might still be in and just going through the motions.

It made it easier. If we had no kids then I probably would have stayed in much longer and pretended to believe but I realised there was no way on earth I could stay in and teach such nonsense to my children. I couldn't put them through school as JWS and there was no way I could live with having to shun them if they were ever df'd.

Since most JW's HATE giving talks and doing meeting parts, why does the Watchtower Society still require it?
by yadda yadda 2 ini loathed giving talks and doing meeting parts.
i dreaded all assignments.
i was intelligent enough and always did a good job, but all my jw life (born in to mid-30's) i enjoyed giving talks about as much as a visit to the dentist.. i am sure that 90% of all jw's similarly dislike it.

I always hated how being in the ministry school was linked to how `spiritual` a member of the congregation was perceived to be. I hated giving sisters talks, it was always so fake and unrealistic. I gave up the MS after having my first child. They make it out like it's a privilege but it's really just to keep cog member's busy.
