    That's how I got fat. I stopped walking as much door to door.

    Since this is the internet, it can be hard to tell if you're serious or sarcastic... however, if you're being serious, that actually WAS a big reason for my weight gain.

    curious as to why you are looking only for those that have turned away from Jehovah? or are you really looking for those that have been dis-fellowshipped?

    without knowing who you are truly looking for, I doubt you'll have much luck in getting either category to respond as one usually does not wish to associate with the other.

    I am an ex-Jehovah's Witness & I've found many others on various internet forums. Just like with any other mutual interests, it's nice to find others with shared experiences. I saw several threads for current JWs looking for fellow Witnesses, & it only stands to reason there must be others like myself who are no longer part of the organization on here. Ex-JW encompasses all who used to be JWs but are not any longer. Unlike those still in the organization, those who have left have no problems talking to one another.

    I beg to differ. Those that have been dis-fellowshipped but are working toward re-instatement would not want to associate with those that have left the organization with no intention of returning.

    You^^^ are not the kind of person she is trying to connect with. It is people like you ...it seems she wants to get away from. The fact that she wants to find people who are no longer JW's and do not wish to be makes a hell of alot of sense to me.

    You couldn't be more wrong. I was simply trying to determine exactly who it is that she is looking for. People who have left the organization of their own free will and those that have been forced out but wish to return have very different outlooks. I doubt she wants to get FRs from people who have been dissed and are working toward re-instatement because this would not help her in her effort to "get away" from those "people" which incidentally I am not one of.

    You can not speak for all JW's. Thank you. I AM disfellowshipped and I carry on relationships (friend wise) with a number still in the faith.

    I'm not scared to bite.
    I was raised a jay dub. Spent 25yrs of my life in that CULT.
    Yes, I truly believe it is a cult.
    I left and was DFed 8yrs ago.
    I have never been happier.
    Those hypocrites are the worst.
    They spout that they are the "truth". I doubt they would know the truth if it bit their nose off.

    She obviously said EX Jehovahs Witnesses.

    Those who are choosing to work towards reinstatement generally do not consider themselves EX-JWs because they want to be part of the organization.

    cult  

    /kəlt/Noun: A system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.A relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.Synonymsworship - religion - adoration

    So its a large well organized cult ;)

    Well, if we are using this logic, ALL forms of religion would classify as "cult"....... DO NOT DRINK THE KOOL AID!!!!!

    Shhhh! They'll hear us.

    (I actually remember my mom and my brothers doing this, but don't remember if it was for JW, Amway, or something else. When they left our front porch, they actually went and sat on their briefcases/backpacks in the front yard, so we had to be quiet for a long time. Now that I'm an adult, I would handle it slightly differently, and would likely yell something about YOU PEOPLE GET OFF MY DAMN LAWN!!! *dang whippersnappers*...)

    I don't believe they fall into the category of "sinister". There are some very very good people. Some are hypocites and alot aren't. Just like any other religion.
