i'm "alpheta".
i've been reading here for the past few weeks, but have visited from time to time over several years.. short history, i started studying in 1993, was baptised in 1996, and succinctly and with much planning disassociated myself in october, 2003.. i don't believe i have any lasting psychological damage or issues, but i was curious about the state of the wtbts (or whatever they go by these days), and i found your site and a lot of information that, i have to say, i found shocking at first like - oh my goddess, they really did that?
- kind of thing.. anyway, nice to have read your posts and i really enjoy the sense of community here.
Welcome
i came upon the following link to a complete set of windows media compatible audio recordings of this summer's district convention talks:.

enjoy!.
Thanks Alan..........after I get moved I will check them out!!!
the elders now have the right to be involved in every facet of a witnesses' life!
they want your phone numbers, cell numbers, they are to be inquired of if you want to take a sh*t. these "good" men will turn into power hungry masters, if they are not already.
the society is taking control over every jw!
JT...great to see you posting again!!! Hope all is well for you and the Mrs.!
When I was a loyal JW....I turned myself in after my divorce for something that bothered my conscience with my ex husband...lol. I soon realized that giving ANY information was a huge mistake. I saw how...: gee Sister Faithful we love you and you need more shepherding visits cause your unfaithful husband left and you need ton of shepherding visits (which I never got.....what a joke) to: YOU need counseling. I cried and said: I am so lonely I have NO friends in this KH. They said: YOU need to find your own friends..go to another KH!!!
Can't you just feel the LOVE?
That's when I realized they don't deserve ANY information from me on ANYTHING again.

i can't sleep, i'm usually up until 2 (or later) every night.......then the alarm goes off at 6:30 and i'm up to start my day.
i find that i'm more alert and productive in the night time, however i am sooo tired of not being able to sleep.
so how about you, night owl or early bird?
I am more of a "night owl" with my sleeping problems. Sometimes I get up at 2 or 3 watch tv cause after 30 minutes of NO sleep I can't take lying in bed.
my husband and i will be celebrating over 11 years of marriage and our anniversary is coming up.
i should be excited but i am not.
don't get me wrong, i love him dearly but i am already setting myself up for a disappointment.
Welcome
I totally understand your frustration. WE care less about holidays.........but I think relationships are something to be celebrated.
Go ahead and do something NICE for him.........dont' expect return........
He will know how important it is so you.
Relationships need constant tendering...........much like a weedy garden....(guys don't get it sometimes)
I wish you the best.

My MOM got us into it. It has divided the family greatly. My oldest sister blames the religion for our family problems....
I have been fading for 3 years now.....(the lies are overwhelming at first)
(i get the distinct impression that our dear friend mary is responsible for this rant....) .
dear kotex.
i recently noticed that the peel-off strip of my pantiliner had a bunch of kotex tips for life" on it.
lol.........I hate buying that stuff. The brown packaging sounds WONDERFUL!!!
what's with the recent spate of folks saying goodbye, or giving swansongs?.
this is a webboard.
people come and people go.
Little Toe, great thread
I came to heal at first...........I am so glad Scully referred NOdenial to this board...so thank you Scully!!!
After being here almost 3 years....I feel like Blondie, who will help our newbies if we all quit???
It is quite a journey to leave a cult and one with many side effects (especially if most of your families are still in the cult)
