Sowhatnow,
When you finally break it off, please take some time to work on yourself. Figure out and correct the reason why you attract these type of men.
Sorry to hear of your troubles.

this thread is for when you have to say something to get it out of the system, whether it is happy or sad.
my reason for stating the thread is that on occasion some threads do tend to get a little heated here, and maybe this thread will enable us to reflect on the important fact, we are real people and not just dots on a computer screen.. i would love to start the thread with a bang, but nothing of particular interest has happened, only i do hope the weather improves as the climate i live in has been sadly chilly for the time of year, (if you get the deeper meaning).

All good here: Healthy thus far, job/money enough to pay bills, have fun and put aside a bit for a rainy day, beloved family members alive and well. Overall, doing well.
Regarding JW stuff, in one ear out the other. Once the feelings of obligation and guilt disappear thanks to knowing TTATT, it is all good.
Live well, be well y'all!!!

The hotel stay, the restaurants afterwards and the company will be very nice. However, there will be a lot of blah, blah, blah in between.
Too bad I cannot miss the Friday session and save a vacation day from work.

all warm and fluffy this month after the utterly laughable 'bread' broadcast.
.
i'll always be grateful to the australian royal commission for allowing us to see this duplicitous, lying, creep, shown up as a snivelling, suck up, asshole, taken completely out of his self appointed authoritarian comfort zone.. anyway, a not too interesting broadcast i have to say..
I just tune out when hubby plays anything from the Org's site.
It all sounds the same as in the KH: Blah, blah, blah....
DY
Oh, they're hurting. The bleeding out of the Org must be massive for them to dedicate a whole assembly to this.
WOW!!!
DY
i don't want anyone to take this the wrong way but i use to at least feel smart as a jw.
when i went to thursday night meetings, i at least felt like i was a student, that i was learning how to speak publicly, i could prepare my own comments, i could answer points that i learned from the weekly bible reading.
i even feel like an "idiot" studying for the meetings.
It is soooo liberating knowing TTATT. Actually, makes me feel even smarter now.
It is not all lost as I still share many beliefs with the Org, plus the personality style and niceness of my circle of friends and family makes it all worth the small time sacrifice.
It is overall an okay bunch.
DY
this is a legitimate question.
did any of us ever find real joy in being at the meetings?
did any of us ever finish a meeting and think "i feel so enriched"?
No. They are repetitious, robotic, fake, boring/sleep-inducing. Such a drag... Especially the CLAM one. Such a waste of time for the most part.
Hate, hate, hate meetings!!!😕
What saves me is the little conversations/greetings/interactions with friends and family before and after such disingenuous occasions.
DY
does anyone know when the inquiry into child abuse in the uk is set to begin?
any idea on the timelines?
Wow, in the UK?!
That will be BIG!!!
I hope it triggers some big, very publicized case here in the US.

loaded gun under her car seat was picked up off the floor and the kid shot her in the back...the day before on facebook she boasted about his shooting skills.
what is wrong with this picture?
Just another hourly casualty of the nutty gun culture.
No pity here for those people.
Enjoy the gun(s)!!!

the gb has recently said that the brothers are generously contributing lots of money (at gunpoint it seems!
) so why with a billion dollar annual income do they demand more cash?
they have staunched the outward flow of money on paid preachers, zone overseers and bethel expenses and stalled the promised worldwide luxury buildings projects..
Motivation: A religion with a lot of real estate and rakes in a lot of dough. What better than that?!🙄
