I want to tell my parents
by Freedomrules ini'm debating how/or is i should tell my parents about my not believing in the org anymore.
i haven't been an active witness for 8 years, and my family and i celebrate bdays and thanksgiving and a couple other holidays (i can't do halloween or christmas, nothing to do with being an ex-wit, i just have personal issues with those).
i know they will be devastated, might cut me off.

anybody want to talk?
by Freedomrules inthis probably seems like a weird request, but i live overseas and am a bit lonely and don't know any other ex-jws (other than my best friend).
if anyone else is interested, i'd be happy to call them (esp if you are in the dc area.
the call is free for me).

I found my best friend in the JW org
by Freedomrules ini owe my life to a woman named alle, who is my best friend in the whole wide world.
when i was 14, the wife of one of the elders in my congregation decided she should study with me (i was 15 when i baptized) and this woman used to warn me about a sister in a neighboring congregation who was demonized (despite being a regular pioneer), telling me to stay away from her.
the sister in the neighboring cong was alle.
