Hi all! New to this app and to this group. Basically raised a JW since about five or six years old. So was in the cult abt 40 yrs. ?? Pioneer for total 13 yrs & elder for 7. Damn, crazy how much time I wasted. Anyway, three years faded now, and can’t believe all the info and dirt I have found on JW‘s which has led me to research further and become an agnostic atheist. Soon I will be sending in my disassociation letter. They will be some repercussions but I’ll be finally free to be completely me & celebrate the holidays if I want without threat of being disfellowshipped.

I have a lot of catching up to do lol
Welcome to the site. I'm new as well. This disassociation process & its repercussions are new to me. Is the practice to state the reason(s) for leaving? Seems like something along those lines could make for an interesting newspaper submission. My grandfather was a JW, but mostly closeted until his wife died, and never tried to bring the rest of us into the fold or share that part of his life.

I could “fade” but I will explain that another time on this thread
Welcome and it looks like you have a plan. Best of luck and share with us how it works out...most of us have had our struggles to change our way of being in the world, to fit how we think about our life.
