I didn't take drugs or go out and drink and I still love my wife of 45 years and not looking for another relationship. But I smoke a cigar once in a blue moon, join a group of mostly athiest, I love christmas , birthdays and the fireworks on the 4th of July. Beng a born-in these are the ones that make me feel like a kid. I care less about the other hoildays except I get a day off work. I also grew a beard and I cuss once in awhile. I have also read alot of books I would never had the time for before. Rarely do I think it's tuesday or thursday night I have to go to a meeting. The only thursday night meeting I go to now is once a month to a mens dicussion group. Going on 9 years being out of the cult has made me into the worldly person I am today. Lol. Still Totally ADD

Love Among Yourselves?
by Lost in the fog inyou have to wonder why a congregation which claims to have love among itself would not do something to help this poor off member of the congregation.
oh wait a minute, they preached to him, got him in, so now he's on his own - just like all the rest of them!

stillin I know what you mean. The last time I went to a meeting I ask the P.O. if the elders could help me with my mother by talking to her to listen she needed help. After my dad died she went down mentally to the point she was violent and was telling everyone in the congregation my wife broke into her bank and stole all her money also she was having orgy's in her living room. Some of the elders were believing it. I was told by the P.O. it was not their responsibility and it was up to me to take care of her. She was so out of control there was nothing I could do. Also I had to tell the P.O. if my my wife had indeed broke into her bank and stole her money don't you think the FBI would be at our front door. Idiots all of them. I got up from my chair and walk out and never set foot in a kingdom hall ever again. My mom is now 96 and has been in a nursing home for 8 years. So violent they keep her in a lock down area of the home and has no idea who she is or any of her children or grand children. I have been told she mostly sleeps all day and night. Hurt, hurt, hurt.

Blondie I was thinking the same thing. Why isn't god protecting them from heavy rain? Maybe it's sign from god to tell them all to get a life and stop telling people a fable as being real. Still Totally ADD

Dont understand...
by nowawake14 inwhy is it that born-in jw children/teens who are not unbaptized publishers allowed to participate in the preaching work, but new people can't?
that's dumb.

Born-ins are trap in a cult and because of this they are expected to act like little adults think like little adults and knock on doors like little adults selling their brand of cult religion. Making money on the backs of children. It is easier to make a born-in into a publisher than what blondie showed us it takes to make a convert into a publisher. Boy did that information make my head spend. We truly were in a cult. Still Totally ADD

Life in Flux, Self-Reflection, and the Bible
by losingit init has been at least 2 years since i posted, and for the most part, i believe, i left this site on a happy note.
i had moved on from the drama and confusion that transitioning out of being a jw and into the world meant.
i was building a happy life with my children.

I remember it well. 15 years old and very intersted in the moon shots. My Dad sat me down and read this article to me and told me not to get interested in anything in the world. Don't have any friends outside the borg because all the people I know who are not in the borg will be dead. That fear keep me from getting a higer education in what in what I wanted to do. The borg really screwed up alot of lifes. Still Totally ADD

Should Hand Held Cellphones Be Banned While Driving?
by minimus inmany states do not even allow you to hold your phone if you are driving.
do you think you should be fined hundreds of dollars for touching your phone while driving?

Our car is tied in with my wife phone. If someone calls it goes right through the radio. No need to touch the phone. My feeling on texting is don't do it while driving or as far as I am concerned not at all. Life is to short to have your face glued to a hand held device. Lol. Also driving is a privelege not a right here in the U.S. So obey the laws given it may save your life as well as others. Still Totally ADD

Especially elders...
by stillin ini was wondering how many of you that are ex-elders have actually read any da letters.
or did you just accept the synopsis given by the secretary or whoever opens the mail?
as an ms the closest i ever got was "he's an apostate.

Still Totally ADD
Never saw a DA letter but did have one ask to meet with a couple of elders and I was one of them. It was a short meeting where he told us he no longer wanted to be a JW because he had some things he needed to do that was not christian. Never knew what that was all about. All we did was let the body of elders know about it. Never saw him a again. Still Totally ADD
