Why Did El Shaddai become Jehovah? Attention Leolaia
by jst2laws indear leolaia
from reading your research, which is wonderful, i'm confused about what moses was trying to say in exodus.
and god went on to speak to moses and to say to him: ?i am jehovah.

wow...wondering how I missed this thread...wow.......pretty heavy to think that Moses started this thing about Jehovah, being god's personal name.
I obviously need to get that book by Karen Armstong......(sitting here with a heavy head and heart right now!!)

lost and alone
by black ghost ini was raised a j.w.
for 20+ years and slid out of the back door in 1998(no-one noticed me slide) and when i went out into the big bad world i found i was completely naive and clueless as i had lived in a tiny shell all my life, for example i had never met a gay person and i believed every non member was evil and out to get me.. has anyone any similar experiences?how did you get the past out of your mind and move on?
do you still feel disadvantaged or do you think you benefited in any way?.

Welcome!!!
Yes....I know what you mean by that "lost feeling"... I think we all do when we leave something we were "raised in" or had been in for a while.
I was raised as a JW and lived it for 36 years!!! Fortunately my hubby feels the same as me (he was raised as a JW too). We have been fading for a year now.
Best advice I can give you is to meet with some that post from this board.......I have found that it helped my overwhelming feeling that I am now "alone" and learning how to live without the confines of the WTBS.
Doing some reading also helps: The Road Less Traveled by Scott Peck.........a must read to truly understand what unconditional love is and understanding you and your family as well.
I have just read Steve Hassan's books on mind control....Those are must reads as well!!!
Take care and nice reading a bit about you!!!

Letter to JW-Inlaws
by catlady ini have drafted the following letter to send to my partner?s inlaws & family (with his approval).
this has been an ongoing situation & i am most concerned that his kids are going to hear these lies & this will destroy the pleasant relationship that i have with them.
i'm also getting sick of not defending myself & having to put up with all this endless crap!

Inner peace at last!
by PriestessLizzie ini am passing this on to you because it has definitely worked for me...and as we start summer we all could use a little calm.. by following the simple advice i read in an article, i have finally found inner peace.
the article read:.
"the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started".

On Vacation No Review but Good News
by blondie in.
i'm taking a break this weekend from the wt review.. the good news is i found a new job, a small office, and i will be back in the law enforcement field.
it will be nice to get away from the stress and overwhelming workload i face each day on my current job and away from the watchful eyes of 2 active jws.. we are going to 2 separate firework displays this weekend and spend some time with the in-laws working in the garden and playing some cards.. hope the weather cooperates here and in your area.. blondie
