  Something in Common

  by undercover in

  i just spent some time perusing some ex-mormon sites and discussion boards.

  it's damn scary how similar these two religions have coerced, deceived and lied to their followers.

  while their teachings are sometimes worlds apart, the tactics used by both churches to force their followers to obedience are so similar it gave me chill bumps as i read some of their experiences.. they have issues with joseph smith and how he founded the church and some of his "prophecies".

  It's a give and take, but basically the same mind-control game.

  Now, you see, I couldn't give up my tea, coffee, ocassional beer, mixed drinks and wine. So forget joining the Mormons ever!

  HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  yesterday i saw an old friend from a long time ago, like when we were kids.

  she responded a shy hello.

  when i asked how she was doing she responded that she was disfellowshipped.

  Do you fear the big A and does the conflict impact your actions?

  by Maverick in

  on another tread this point came up.

  scotsman posted a comment about a certain poster being gay, and i do not know or care if this is true or not, and in conflict over the fear of dying at armageddon for this "sin".

  do any of you fear the big a because of your lifestyle?

  I used to fear it. I find myself not caring anymore; almost to the point of not believing it'll ever happen anymore.

  How has your marriage been affected by leaving the WTS?

  by Leander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's been exactly 2 years since i stopped attending jw meetings and it's taken a toll on my marriage.

  i expected as much but i guess you can never really prepare for the pain you have to go through when one mate no longer believes in the same things they once did.

  i think my wife has honestly tried hard (as have i) to make the relationship work but i think we're both realizing that there are some really large issues before us that will never be resolved.

  question for all ye wise folks in the know -.

  was the "beware the voice of strangers" talk (http://quotes.watchtower.ca/bewarethevoiceofstrangers.htm) given at the district conventions last summer?

  i'm not terribly familiar with how that works.

  I heard it in the Spanish convention.

  It was suggested the computer be placed in a highly visible place of the home so that the parents can supervise their children and viseversa.

  What I miss? I'll tell you what I miss now, while still in there and trying to fade slowly...

  I miss watching American Idol because I have to attend a silly Wed meeting. I miss sleeping late on Saturday and Sunday mornings because I must get up one day to go out on service and the other to attend another boring meeting.

  When I finally leave, I won't miss any of the mechanical meetings, but I may miss some of the people I've known all my life.
