I am soooo not a JW anymore (page 2)

Great for you Aw Snap.

I can say I am sooooooo not a JW anymore, but I am still very much an ex-JW. Because of my wife's active JWness, I stay involved in ex-JW stuff and keep looking for peace. I hope I find it.

Hey AwSnap! Congratulations. A Great place to be indeed. A long way from the irrationality of the past. I see our JWN birthdays are pretty close too!

Hey thinkaboutit! Its a CULT ITS A FREAKIN F'd up family destroying, brain rotting, mind controlling CULT CULT CULT CULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One day I hope to get my wife and I out of this damn CULT!!!!! Awsnap doesn't it feel good to know your not gonna be destroyed at Armageddon for not going out in field service and missing meetings??!!! If GOD does exist and is a God of love you better bet he thinks JW cult is disgusting. It's time to see life as a wonderful tapestry of diversity and color. No more black and white thinking that closes us off from reality.

Oh no you ain't, Snappy!!

wha happened?

It's the small things that mean so much along the way

I actually don't call jw's a cult. But I certainly tell people they are cult-like. And I definitely believe that they are no different from all the other cult-like crazy religions out there (ie: southern baptists!!!).

And, yes, they destroy families. They really should be ashamed of themselves. But, of course, they're not. The only people who shun me is one of my sisters. Its nice that its just 'one person' in my life, instead of every jw. BUT....she *was* a huge part of my world. She should be ashamed of herself too. But she doesn't know any better. I was once like her. And, hopefully, one day she will realize she should feel ashamed....then we can continue our lives filled with 'unconditional love': a term she always cringed at whenever I said it

Wow, good for you. Changes are taking place. A few months

after I was Df I attended One of the other KH in my are area.

I was thinking about returning. I knew the elders, so I set

in the back row . Before the meeting was over A young sister

set next to me. The ending song, she moved over to share her

song book, one of the Elder saw this, walked over motion to the

sister to move away. All in the back rows saw this display of love.

The last time I set foot in A KH (1988). If more would do what is

right, what are they going to do , Df everybody.

Yes good for you.. One more thing, the Elder that motion to the sister,

both of his kids (grown now) out of the borg. His daughter ending up

as A dancer, the ones that dance with A pole.

Snap,

After many years, I still miss THE IDEA of family. The only time I really feel a loss, is when others tell me "Oh, I did *this* with my mother....." or "My sister and I went *here*....."

But, I never had those kind of relationships with my mother or sisters, so, while I feel the IDEA of the loss, I don't actually miss them in my life. I am always sad for you because of that. You had the relationships, but not anymore.

But I am always proud of how you've handled it. I know you a little in real life..... and I think you are an amazing lady!

Love,

Palm

AwSnap

Thanks. So glad I've been able to get to know you and Dagney a lil

What drives *ME* nuts is when somebody in my family talks about my sister and her new baby as if she's just one of their buddies.....they don't stop to think that I do not know the person they speak of. She took herself out of my life. And if it was just once in awhile...I'd deal with it. But some people in my family do that all the time! Argh. I've gotta say something to them about it one of these days

I am soooo not a JW anymore
