There is a similar saying about Marines, once a Marine, always a Marine. If someone is actively in the Marine Corp, they are a Marine. Otherwise they can only say "I was a Marine" or "I was in the Corp for x years."

The thinking and lifestyle stays with some people. For others it is just part of their history. I am an ex...JW. I am not forever a JW.

A Jehovah's Witness would never boast such a thing

Are you sure you haven't been dreaming?

Satan manages to pull many onto the road that leads to destruction (Matthew 7). You've just confirmed that.

Anyway, just remember that the door back to Jehovah is always open... however, the time left is short.

Your choice though.

i'm so overjoyed you asked former Jehovah's Witnesses to respond to this question. in any different case, how ought to you ever locate out why they left? There are some exciting solutions out of your non secular brothers and sisters - yet no longer certainly one of them has arise with the plain. on the same time as i replaced right into a Jehovah's Witness, I additionally theory I had the authentic faith and there replaced into no way i replaced into ever going to go away it. that is fairly stupid, does no longer it, to go away what you believed to be authentic that gave you peace of concepts. Neither did I go away with the aid of fact i replaced into immoral or somebody stumbled me or I in basic terms did no longer desire to stay as much as the Bible's extreme standards. I wasn't mixing with worldly human beings, i did no longer soak up smoking or ingesting. in certainty, i replaced into pioneering and that i replaced into married to a pioneer. So why did I go away? you should understand that my mom and father grew to develop into Witnesses interior the 1930's, and that i knew no longer something different than what Jehovah's Witnesses believed. We have been all looking forward to the top of 6,000 years of guy's life to end interior the autumn of 1975 (i will furnish the Watchtower quotations in case you doubt me) and that meant Armageddon could come quickly after. My mom and father believed they have been the era that could see the fulfilment of the top-time prophecies in Matthew 24 and that they could be alive while the Millennial reign of Christ began. None individuals made any of this up. all of us believed what the Society instructed us. wager what? This prophecy replaced into fake - we are nevertheless waiting, 33 years later. with the aid of fact of this I left - fake prophecies approximately dates and predictions while 6,000 years of human life will end. Any peace of concepts I had replaced into shattered once I realised the quantity to which I have been deceive. i'm now a born-returned Christian with a heavenly wish and that i compliment God that, interior the direction of the Holy Spirit, he extra me to a place of repentance and forgiveness. faith does no longer keep. basically Jesus Christ can try this.

I am an ex. I would rather die than be a CULT member again. I am now a Christian actually there are more people leaving the Witnesses now than are joining.

I hope so.

My uncle is an ex Jehovah Witness.

They "disfellowshipped" for being homosexual.

Are there ex Atheists here?

I'm not...but my girlfriend who is now atheist grew up JW.

Whoever told you that was Kidding with you..Seriously.

If Judas was Saved at one time and Betrayed the Messiah- how could he be still saved. Apply that Logic to those who leave or are disfellowshiped from the Christian Congregation....and to think I thought you smarter than this...Boy was I wrong.

I hope so...I am bleeding bad man...oh my gawd...the noise was deafening...a bomb went off on a bus...eevryone is dead man... I need a blood transfusion...
