WELCOME(((((((((( (Brandon and Stephanie))))))))) Hold onto your hats because getting off of the wt merry-go-round can be very bumpy. Hang tight and pray while you read the bible. It isn't easy to read it w/o your jw glasses on but in time you will be able to really see Christ and His gospel not man's. I hope that I didn't overstep my bounds with all of that advice. I just remember all of the fear and pain that I went thru and thought I'd offer you my best. Family........hmmm, tough one... Just give them love, that's all. Try not to be tooooo surprised at their behavior....I am so happy that you two are together on this. You will be able to encourage one another during this storm. love, dj

Welcome, Brandon & Stephanie!
Welcome, Monkey Princess!
Welcome, thebeliever!
WE ARE SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE!!! This is a great place to de-program and learn how to really enjoy life. Brandon & Stephanie, I can really relate to your story because I was also "raised in the truth," married a regular pioneer MS, and believed in it heart and soul. Until . . . . well, dig around the old threads and you'll see the story of cruzanheart and Big Tex as it unfolded. Suffice to say, it is WONDERFUL to be out.
Alabama, huh? That's not TOO far from Texas, and we have some really great Apostafests around here. Stay tuned, y'all!
Love,
Nina

Hey Winston, I'm sure your more intelligent than the GB and the elders combined!
My mother asked me if I was smarter than 6 million J-dubs...I said no, probably two to threee million though, because the children see through the lies.

Welcome!!!
oh my goodness, i cannot believe this quote!!! the first bit is accurate, anyway....:
independent thinking does not prevail in God’s organization, and we have sound reasons for confidence in the men taking the lead among us.

Welcome!
There's always a "but" in these, isn't there
As PeeWee Herman said in PeeWee's Big Adventure: "Everyone I know has a big but."

Welcome !!!
Typical JW reasoning:
Satan is evil
Satan was an independent thinker
Therefore if we are independent thinkers, then we must be evil and we have cast our lot with Satan
Sounds retarded doesnt it? Hard to believe that Millions of people are programmed with such nonsense.
Welcome to the board!!
