Saturday, March 17th, 2012Whether you’re a former Jehovah’s Witness who has been disfellowshipped1 or an atheist who has been disowned from a deeply religious family, take heart. This doesn’t have to be a soul tearing rejection from the only family you will ever get. Far from it. Here’s what you need to know: no matter what you’ve been [...]
Witnesses for Atheism: Cool Podcasts for Ex-Witnesses Turned Atheists
Tuesday, August 16th, 2011Normally, I’d include this with my news and links updates, but I’m lazy and didn’t want to wait. Witnesses for Atheism is a pretty sweet podcast for those hungry masses of ex-Witnesses that want to hear more podcasts from…well, ex-Witnesses! I discovered it through Twitter, which I finally joined about a week or two ago. [...]
What’s The Biggest Reason Why Jehovah’s Witnesses Disapprove Of Ex-Witnesses?
Monday, August 1st, 2011Many ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses have tried to justify their reasons for leaving the Watchtower Society to friends and family who are still loyal Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Friday, November 26th, 2010After plugging away on my little essay for some time now, I had hoped to turn it into a podcast that readers could download and listen to. I had even hoped to enlist one or two other ex-Witnesses to help read a few of the parts. (I asked Moxie about that a while ago via [...]
When Jehovah’s Witnesses Try Reasoning With Us To Get Us Back In The Kingdom Hall
Saturday, April 24th, 2010What do Jehovah’s Witnesses have over most ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses? A written narrative for almost any question you can think of, that’s what. Thanks to the Society’s narrative, Witnesses don’t have to think about their answers when a mean old apostate raises objections about the Society’s teachings. They can just quote the Watchtower’s narrative without using [...]
Humanize Yourself In Four Steps When Evangelists Objectify You
Sunday, March 7th, 2010Want to know one thing that many atheists and ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses have in common? Dealing with aggressive evangelists who objectify us (or who want us to play our assigned role in their idealized conversion scenario). Whether they realize it or not, many evangelists tend to pigeonhole others into categories that are easy for them to [...]
