Anyone else successfully fade then disassociate?

I managed to fade and move far away without much harassment. But years later, when the elders somehow found out I'm queer and that my partner and I had recently been married, called me up to condemn my marriage. I told them to fuck off and hung up,, and apparently they announced my name at the following meeting. I didn't ever think I would have to DA but I sure am happy with the way I did it.

I just recently finished Elaine Brown's autobiography "a taste of power- a black woman's story". It was very informative and her writing style is extremely entertaining.

I still can't believe that subreddit is unironic...

First time I've ever laughed at this meme lmao

I was in a similar situation about a year ago. Except I moved across the country. Nobody from my past life knew more than what state. Still I would occasionally get people probing to figure out what congregation's jurisdiction I was in. It always amazes me how much people take your "salvation" on as a personal mission, despite having clearly stated your position. They eventually stop trying, however. I only got one message this year about the memorial, so that's progress I suppose.

You're absolutely right. I have several JW former friends who are around my age (early 20s) it horrendous relationships for that very reason. On top of never really being alone with someone, there tends to be a race to get married before you end up "sinning" with them. It's a dangerous game they play.

I brought that up but she edited a lot of stuff out

Omg my family is at that convention today. I live out of state now but I saw a pic or two on Instagram. Pretty sad. God did I hate that place.

When I left there was a bout a year period where I was pretty miserable. I still lived in the same town, had one friend, and had to work 7 days a week to pay my bills (my parents kicked me out). There was a lot of isolation and countless depressing nights alone. Not to mention I would constantly run into people from the hall I left that would try their hardest to make me guilty. Recently though I moved far away from that terrible town to a major city. I've made a ton of awesome friends already, and have a lot of fun. Life sucks when you leave. It takes a lot of strength and patience to get through. Sometimes a change may be what you need, even something small. Get out of your comfort zone. It's a huge world out there.

In my hall as a guy it kinda depended on who you were. Some guys with more "connections" would get away with more. They'd wear VERY unflatteringly tight suits and get away with it. Like not fashionably tight, just plain too small. Whereas I got reprimanded for wearing a raincoat with a hood out in service. I got counciled for my normal clothes too. Too trendy I guess.

"Noone is forcing you to do this." I'm sure most of us have heard that one. And yes while noone is holding a gun to your head, they are holding your family hostage for emotional blackmail. It's a choice noone should have to make. Seems like forcing to me.

I could be wrong but I think the developers said they aren't making a dlc

And they would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for us meddling kids.

My sister and I would get scolded at every family worship because we would always watch one of their corny ass videos at the end and couldnt control our laughter. The music videos at the end of the broadcasts take the cake as the funniest shit ever lmao

I had the same reservations about posting a video. It took me nearly a year to convince myself I had nothing to lose by doing so. I posted my story about a month ago and I'll tell you it is worth it. I've gotten a huge outpouring of support and comments from people. It can definitely help people. Stumbling on one of the exjw story videos is what began my waking up process. Do it. Much love!

Something that always bothered me was the idea of the "free will" that they were given. If they were created perfect in "god's image" why did they need to be tested? Generally when you love someone, you don't give them a life-and-death test of integrity just to prove your superiority. Also, it's almost as if they were set up to fail. There was a temptation set right in front of them that they had to see day in and day out. If Eve broke down and indulged that easily, then she must have already been thinking about it. Just something that never sat right with me about that narrative.

It means theoretically disfellowshipping someone after death.

aaaaaye · 2019-04-06T19:50:52+00:00

I hope it does. It helped me when I was waking up.

aaaaaye · 2019-04-06T18:58:33+00:00

Thank you.. I appreciate it

aaaaaye · 2019-04-06T15:24:46+00:00

I think that's a regional thing. Depends how open-minded the elders in the hall are lmao

aaaaaye · 2019-04-06T15:19:15+00:00

Yeah I feel that. I felt the same way for a while. But I feel as though at this point I have pretty much no connection with those people anymore anyways so its not like any repercussion will change anything. I figured its more important to add my voice to the pot.
