One other thing.

They emphasized the importance of knowing the origin of things, anything and everything. Yet that isn't consistent. Are they not shocked by the origins of the WTS itself??? Those are highly questionable.

You can't do this and you can't do that because it is of "Pagan" origin. Yet the very founder of the organization was engaged in practices that would curl modern day witnesses hair!

I'd think with the history of that organization that anyone who knows anything about it at all would leave it immediately.

I am glad to have found the internet because it has been healing for me. No more guilt, no more serious idiocy over this. I just say NO now.

I have found another church finally, after all these years of not having one. And I have spoken against the WTS, the elders, the GB, and many of the teachings. I suppose that makes me an apostate. I have not been formally disfellowshipped, not sure why. But when JW's come to my door now, I don't even argue with them. I don't want that stress, unless it is at my conveniences. I just tell them I'm an apostate. I'm afraid one day one of them will fall off my porch, they retreat so quickly.

Whoa! My words must be scathing to them. Okay by me, maybe someday they'll see the lies and think of that lady at that house and come ask me how to get away and how to deal with the shunning and the guilt.

The guilt isn't just from leaving. It is also from ever having been associated with them.

excuse my outburst. It is not my intent to hurt anyone's feelings. I was very hurt by the society, but I have no intention of hurting back. I want anyone who is interested in leaving to know that there are people out here who are very happy to talk to you and be supportive.
