I really enjoy hearing how and why people left the JWs, I don't think you really ramble too much. My vid on how I left was originally 45 minutes because I was getting into minute details that I ended up having to cut thinking no one cared about them.
Here we are staring at reality, clear as day, as a matter of fact. And yet my sister's presence was unwanted because she's no longer a JW. They were "going to say a prayer". It's really just snobbishness.
If it weren't for the religious aspect, my family wouldn't be like two rival gangs with so much infighting.
But this is the status quo, really. Life is pretty good.
Definitely. I've always been vocal about my view that a person's relationship with God shouldn't be a communal experience. I could do without the peanut gallery while I'm working this stuff out in my own mind and heart.
My uncle passed away last night, and pretty much the whole thing is just going to start itself over. I told my mom that we should just put all of this religious political bullshit aside and deal with the here and now, which is that a family member is dying.
Sorry about your grandpa dying. I just love how the cult uses things like death to fit their own agenda. That is the last thing people need piled on top of them when they are grieving. Fucking assholes.
Your story is nearly identical to mine, except I went Pagan instead of Christian, and then atheist.

JWs use the bible in the same way that a kidnapper uses the newspaper to make a ranson note.

wow 2 deaths in a row, super sorry man. You would think that when people die it would make people rethink treating family as if they were dead.
