  Don't turn in the elder's book.

  You should keep it for a souvenier....YOU deserve it!!!

  Rule of thumb: Don't say or answer any more then you need to...that's theocratic warfare!!!

  Intensely lonely

  by Cabin in the woods in

  2. friends

  normally i am fine but a glass and a half of wine and my heart is breaking.

  the irony of it is is that i was as lonely as this in the congregation.. i feel overwhelmed with life and never seem to get anywhere or get anything done.

  god, i sound pitiful.

  i love reading posts on this forum though would have to say some of those are pure philosophical speculations (though very good ones) of sort if god is almighty can he create rock he wouldnt be able to lift i.e.

  whatever you answer it turns out hes not.

  Welcome

  Enjoyed hearing about your life and your views and feelings about being raised a JW.

  I too was raised as a JW. When I was active I never thought we were a CULT. We follow Jesus (or at least I did anyways)

  After fading and doing research on just what a cult is, conclusions were made. I highly recommend reading Steve Hassan's books:

  1. Combatting Cult Mind Control

  2. Releasing the Bonds

  Another great book to read: "The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse".....you would have thought JW's wrote it, but they were not the authors.

  i hadn't seen ladylee posting the last few days - it's not like her to leave without letting us know that she's going away, and i was getting worried, so i called her this morning.. she called me back... she's fine, but her computer is not.

  it had a major crash a few days ago, and she's been trying to get it up and running ever since.. let's make sure she knows that she's missed!

  Exciting news for me!

  social security called this morning and told me that i've been determined to be permanently disabled and the payments will continue!

  it's incredible that it only took 2 months from the date i filed!

  they usually fight a person all the way through the countless appeals process!.

  How to reply to the inevitable invitation to Memorial this year...

  by nsrn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm anticipating a series of visitis from the witnesses to invite me to memorial.

  every year i get a few with the preprinted invitation, a couple slightly old magazines, and big smiles.

  these are people who i grew up with, who were kind to me, who honestly think my fade out will cost my eternal soul at the big a. these are the same people who pick up my elderly parents for meetings, bring them food when they are sick, and change their rusted out water heater for them in the dead of winter.
