Thanks for sharing your story with us Inday

Call me suspicious but your sentence structure and spelling of words like financially and doubt but using capitols in the middle of sentences gives me a funny feeling that this is a hoax
Please prove me wrong

I thought of how many posters use English as their first language---and still have some difficulty in expressing how they feel in certain circumstances. (ME!) *I* know exactly what I'm trying to say, but often it does not come out on "paper" the same way that I meant it to.

Sorry to bring this up again... English is my first and native language, but having lived in a French speaking country for only a year, and even while having many opportunities to speak english, i still find myself using the sentence structure and spelling of French in my daily conversations in English and especially in my written English. I find myself having to re-read posts, correcting spellings that i've spelt in a French way.

Thanks for sharing your story inday. I am so sorry for all you have gone through.

That surprised me.

I grew up with a very close friend of Asian descent, I am currently friends with someone of Asian descent, and twice a month, I get my nails done, by a lady of Asian descent. I have to pay extra close attention, and sometimes ask alot of questions, before I can understand what she is saying, (although she has studied english as a second language for years).

All of the 3 people mentioned above, speak with similar sentence structures as Indays. So nothing seemed off about this to me. It was actually familiar to me, only difference was I was reading it, instead of hearing it.

Hi everyone,

I read the comments that you give on my story. I am very sorry that you all speak about my language. I know that my english is not too good, but I think I speak better then most people. I am sorry if you not understand me.

I am sorry if you not believe me. Or maybe think I am not good girl. But it is up to you. I do not care. I do not need your sympathy also, what good will that do. And I know how to care myself, I have no problems. I also have bf now and am fine.

My story is real but I did not give you all the details. I do not want to give also. I do not want to bring my family in problems. I am also sorry if you think that the story is sad. Of course sad things happen to everybody. I have had some sad things, but also many good things. Some other stories I read here are much more sad. I tell maybe tomuch of the sad things, this is because those things had more impact on my life. My live is mostly happy and I know how to take care myself. My story is not so special I think. It is no 'lovers in paris".

I am still angry my father. She was always pioneering and did not care his family. But I do not care him. I have many family and friends. Most of my family is good for me.

I accept the things that I do, and man do not tread me bad.

I came to this board to see what other have found, but there are so many different opinions. I have many doubs about the truth, more then before, but I did not find many answers also. But I believe that Jehovah knows why I did some things, and I try to do good things.

Abaddon your post is nice.Thank you. I felt bad when I lost my baby, but I know also that good things and bad things happen to good and bad people the same. I did blame myself, but only for a while. I think this is normal, if you feel sad. I am not very sad anymore I accept now. But when I think sometimes I am sad. But I am still young. Also yes maybe all organisation is not good. I am disapointed in the elders. They do not do the things that god say. But I am sure there is a god because it is imposwsible that we came from the monkeys.

Ray (puting lalaki), salamat. You are white or kababayan? If you are white why you know to speak Tagalog?

I am from the visayas, and my language is bisaya. But I do understand Tagalog also a bit.

Inday: kung gusto mo, sumusulatin mo sa aking kahong dito.

I wish you well.

Salamat, Yes Maybe I will write you a message.

Inday: paki sabihin mo sa kami, iyong kwetohang sa lahat

I already tell ang aking kuwento to everybody. What else you wnt to know?

What do you believe. You are a JW? I can't belive malapit na naman ang katapusan. They say that so long. Things do not change.

Hindi babalik ako.

Bye

Inday you sound very courageous to me and its lovely to have someone from as far away as you seem to be on the board - very refreshing.

So keep reading here - I feel if you do you will eventually be able to see that very little you were taught by the JWs is accurate and it will help you to live and enjoy your life more freely

You say that you believe that Jehovah will understand why you have done certain things. I agree - if there is a God - then he will understand, just as any compassionate human would.

Keep posting when you visit your internet cafe!

my respect and warm wishes to you

Inday:
It's lovely to hear from you. You are amongst friends, even though we are far away.
Thank you for sharing your story. Hopefully you will find information here that will help you in your journey

Ray:
Good call, and I'm glad you're still lurking

Gyles:
I already have a high opinion of you, but your compassion on this thread has just sent it through the roof

Malungkot na ako Inday.

For those not well versed in Tagalog, Inday wrote above: I will not return.

Damn!

I hope, Inday is lurking. Tanauan siya sana...aking mga posts.

Inday, please come back. We need to hear more from you and have someone...even just one Pinoy with their story, that maybe can attest to the activities there. There are other Filipinos lurking. You may be the one to help them make the exit that's necessary.

Huwag makilala iyong Inglish, maayos lang dito...tutoo!

Magingat kayo,
RAY (tutoo, tunay...puting lalaki)

And that should be a lesson to us all. We should give ppl the benefit of the doubt when they first come here and stárt posting. It can be quite traumatic and scary for some.

Even ones who are quite angry about "us apostates" need calm non judgemental replies. Its the only we may be able to get through to them

I do hope she comes back
