Im curious how exjw identifiers disassociated and why? Where im at I've had an incredlibly positive experience and received mounds of support even though i only interact with meetings maybe once a month and ghosted my bible study because of my personal life getting really busy. Brothers and elders helping with home problems or transport, even donating me suits and outfits. There was one really over the top aggressive guest speaker we had one time, and almost everyone in the congregation was weirded out by them, and i haven't seen them since. I live with an excommunicated member, and he still has nothing bad to say about the congregation and says he basically had to force them to excommunicate him with how many chances elders gave him to stop mistreating his family and abusing substances. While there was a general shunning, close members still talked to him and work with him through his business, and members will ask me how hes doing.

I dont mean to sound all preachy and say there's nothing wrong with jws because clearly so many of you have had horrible experiences. My worst experience I've had is having to listen to old lady elder gossip, but i think that's more just an old religious texan lady group thing more than a jw thing.

My question is, what is yalls reason for disassociating with JWs, is it displeasure with the organaztion but maybe not bible principles, or perhaps do you just not believe in or agree with bible teachings, or just the way WT society teaches the bible. Do you have issues personally with other members thay pushed you away or made you feel mis treated?

Personally, i dont feel significantly attached to the organization, but i enjoy the congregation meetings and their style of bible discourse and teaching.
