What is Your purpose/point for being here? (page 2)

Amazing1914

I walked away from the WT organization twelve years ago. It is rumored that I have been DA'd about nine years.

I have been on the net several years ... originally with the purpose of helping others just leaving ... then for some personal growth and healing ... and now, I am here, not because of any overriding, all-important mission ... but simply because of the good friends I have made ... learning of some new developments, helping to create some developments if I can ... and to share what research I do from time to time ... and for no other reason, it's fun here.

Blondie....you stopping/reducing your posts or "reviews"......get me?

got my forty homey?

Like Dan O I enjoy seeing that I wasn't the only one forcibly raised as Joe Wit and had to go through tortures that many adults couldn't endure. Maybe I see a a little of me in all of you. Such as when we laugh at assembly experiences, boredum of meetings and the hyprocrisy of counting field service time. It defintly helps me in trying to something look in the mirror and answer the question of who am I and how do others percieve me.

It was funny because a co worker of mine who I am fairly newly aquainted with told me he liked me because I'm very quiet yet I have a dry witty sense of humour that he understood but that others do not understand and think that I am a mean son of a bitch.

As some of you know I have been in trouble at times in this forum because I fly of the handle like some others do and I can blame my entire personality flaws on a horrible childhood.

I have no purpose or point by being on this board, I just like reading the post and learning new things, also like the people I see here. I've learned a lot about life, seeing what other people have to put up with sometimes makes me appreciate what a good life I have. I don't get out much with other people and this place gives me the chance to associate with those around the world who have been where I was in the JW bondage.

It makes me think sometimes, gives me help when I need it, and keeps me off the streets.

Hey got my forty homey! I have always been one to fly off the handle too - I totally understand! And you are not a little witty, you are a mild riot! Please do NOT stop associating here. At least till I go away...okay buddy?

My reasons are basically twofold, after 35+ years in there aren't alot of people that can relate to what I've been through, and that can relate. Also, because of the tragic event that got us out of the cult I feel I am in a unique position to point out the worst case senario of what can happen to folks in the religion...I just hope to get the point across that it's not a harmless religion.

Believe you me when I leave I ain't going out with "This is my last post I'm all growed up or something"

I'll just stop posting and then you'll read about a 400 pound mexican who went crazy in NYC city and was chased by the police driving a white Ford Bronco hiding in the rear.

It makes me feel good to know that I can RELATE to others that can truly understand what being a Witness has been like. NO ONE could EVER comprehend the things we go thru unless they were once a JW.

It's true minimus - the really nice folks here who have never been a dub are so clearly different in their comments than those of us who were really "Joe Wits" (God I love that expression got my forty!)

At first...extreme curiosity. Just where DID all those JW's go, when they "Fell away from the Truth."?

I heard this once: Have you personally ever SEEN a baby pidgeon...? I haven't & don't know anyone who has... But, you knew they have to be somewhere...???

When JW's leave or are DF/DA you never really know...where they go...what happened? They had to be somewhere, I was lucky enough to find a good bunch of them.

I needed the help and re-enforcement I found here. I am fading and being shunned for marrying a non-witness, DA/DF is likely down the road. If I can encourage one newbie or lurker here to make their own decisions, in the face of pressure from the WTS, I'll be happy for them.
