I really like what you're doing here. I don't know if I would class myself as ExJW as eventhough I went to the Thursday meeting from 2002-2005 I never did a proper bible study or anything like that as my parents wouldn't allow it as they weren't JWs and they thought it was a cult. In your tips you said not to ask them about where Cain got his wife as it would confuse them. Well I don't think it will because I read in their book "Resoning from the scriptures" that Cain married his sister. (Which actually doesn't make sense since all his sisters were born after Seth was born after Cain murdered Abel) Oh and I have an idea for the "you are an JW if..." It's "If you see or hear the song title all along the watchtower the first thing that comes to your head isn't Jimmy Hentrix but of the watchtower magazine" Anyway keep up the brill work you are doing.

Oh and I have an idea for the “you are an JW if…” It’s “If you see or hear the song title all along the watchtower the first thing that comes to your head isn’t Jimmy Hentrix but of the watchtower magazine”

Anyway keep up the brill work you are doing.

I've been out 10years,family members were victims of abuse covered up by the WT. We needed support not vitriol so that we could get busy with living. It was a great place for myself and my family...in addition to Virus Head of course...LOL!

I love what you're doing here. I remember when I was leaving the JW's in the 1990's I sought solace through several online forums, where I found people who were angry like me. Now that I've moved on and created a beautiful, peaceful life for myself, I am thrilled to find some others who have successfully done the same. I agree. I love what you’re doing here.

I think this person has the right idea. While I do still remember very clearly some things that happened to me or were done to me or said to me, I have no desire to spout hatred and venom towards any Jehovah's Witnesses either. I don't understand people who do and wish we could all learn and truly understand that what we do and say really reflect more on ourselves than anyone we might be saying those things about. I say Bravo to this brave soul for searching and finding a more healthy way to deal with the trauma of being an ex JW. Peace. Wow. I think this person has the right idea.
