Thats a very good idea you had.Naturally I would never really LOOK at anything on the porn site but it would make good window dressing
.
i hope you didn't come in here just because you thought you would see something smutty.bad people.
my wife,still a faithfull loyal dub just walked around the corner on me when i had this site open.i hastily closed every thing down which of course made her very suspicious.i hinted around that i had something up that i didn't think she should see.being a good dub and what with the "dangers" of the internet being featured in almost every mag she at once jumped to the conclusion i was on a porn site.. little did she know it was much,much worse than that but i don't think i will fill her in on what i am really up to.

The main reason I left the "truth" was the demand that I conform to an ever changing DFing policy with regards to my family.Blind,dumb,loyalty to the shunning policy was and is what is demanded of all "loyal dubs"
A secondary feeling was that I was on an endless treadmill going nowhere.Endless meetings,endless service and constantly changing new light when the old light proved to be nothing but a bunch of mindless crap.
Looking back from the outside I wonder how anyone cannot see this garbage for what it is.The "truth" of the matter is you have to check your brains at the door to make any of it work for you.
alas, some expensive witness traditions have ended - like food service at assemblies or mailed subscriptions.. however, since 1996, the society has had a tradition of begging for money in the november watchtower.. i think they hope rich witnesses will think about re-balancing their portfolios or making changes before the end.
of the taxable year in december.. .
lawyers and new printing facilities ( to be on-line in 2005) cost a lot of money, so look for their appeal soon.. .
What do you mean again?I haven't seen very many days when they haven't tried to get their hands on your cold hard cash.
They are just aching to get into tithing and would be doing it already except for all the yapping they did against it over the years.
In the meantime they have to be content with the (suggestion) that every one should strive to contribute a set amount at a regular interval to aid in the world wide preaching work.Look to a future article in the wt. where only because brothers came to them wondering what pecentage they would suggest as an offering to Jehovah would tell them to look to the OT and let that be their guide.Of course this would only be a suggestion to the loyal jw and not tithing.
me-----i live to enjoy my life today.
tomorrow, i could be dead....and you??
?
It Depends,
If my future goals seem out of reach or unatainable I concentrate on today and make it the best that it can be.If my short term plans are not working out as I had hoped I focus on my long term goals and future
i am a long time lurker who is finally ready to talk.i am not dfd or da but just walked out on a meeting back in 1981?
?what caused it???.
it was the flip flop in the disfellowshipping rules regarding family.

Through the whole thing my Mother was a true lady.She was not invited to our Dub wedding but still sent a gift.She took her rejection quietly and without complaint.
When we came back to her she welcomed us with open arms.I know it hurt her deeply when she was rejected once more by my wife but she never struck back.My marriage almost failed at this point because of the stress between my wife and myself but my Mother encouraged me to stick by my wedding vows and not give up.My wife and I are still together today partly because of this.
The Org simply rips the guts out of people and their relationships.May it rest in peace.(SOON)

can't find it through the normal searches on the 2001 cd (gee, i wonder why...).
thanks in advance!.
This issue affected my life greatly and still does to this day.Look to the aug1/74 wt. for the new and improved way of how to treat your relatives.I am suprised that they didn't just delete the whole thing.I mean who would notice.Of course the 81 wt and the aug 2002 km is now the only way to treat relatives.
The 2002 km in fact has an implied death threat towards all those who would not shun relatives.The last part says that a LOYAL JW will abide by the DF rules.If you don't that would make you in fact DISLOYAL. We all know what will happen to disloyal ones when the big "A " strikes.

i usually don't wake up remembering any dreams... but every now and then i do and this morning i woke up from a reeeeeally strange one.. this is how it went:.
i meet this girl from india... she is dressed in a traditional looking outfit.
she is very attractive, aside from one problem: she has a disorder that causes her to grow hair all over her body and face.
Stacy Smith told me that you are a nice person but very very sick.I don't know.You seem quite normal to me.
Besides,what happens between you and kitty in the privacy of you own bedroom is really nobodys business.

Wow,
What a welcome.Thank you to everyone. I have a feeling I am going to like my new congregation home a lot better than the last one.
To Dr. Watson (windows) All I ask of you if we ever meet is you use a glove,take off your rings and have small fingers.
Other wise enjoy!!!
I know from lurking for a while the degree of pain and mental suffering that many of us still have even if we have been out for years.
This board is the best thing that could happen to aid in the healing process.Healing for me even after 20+ years out seems to be slow in coming.It helps a lot to know that I am am not alone in my feelings.Indeed many have suffered more mental trauma than I will ever know and my heart (not the literal one or is it??) goes out to you all.

Hi Every One I am a long time lurker who is finally ready to talk.I am not DFD or DA but just walked out on a meeting back in 1981??What caused it???. It was the flip flop in the disfellowshipping rules regarding family. My Mother was DFD back in the 1950s.As a good little Dub when I was an adult I naturally?? shunned her.But wait,new light.In the mid? 1970s we were told to not be like the Pharisees but to recognize that we had an obligation to also honour our father and mother.We were told that as long as we did not discuss religion a social relationship would be possible. After prayerfull thinking about the matter both my wife (strong dub) and myself could see that this was really new light and showed how progressive the society really was.We started to visit 3-4 times a year and usually found ourselves staying at Mom's for the summer convention. But wait!!! NEW NEW LIGHT came out in 1981.It was back to the hard line on family relationships.Who needed your sinfull evil family.You had all the loving brother and sisters as a family.SHUN SHUN SHUN was once again the order of the day.My wife fell into line at once like a little programmed robot. It so happened that the week the watchtower came out we also had the CO visiting.I confronted him before the meeting and got into a big argument right at the hall.I stomped out not to return.An elder friend of mine and the CO came to visit a day later but the bottom line on the discussion was that this was the way it was now and to accept it and WAIT ON JEHOVAH for things to change and to shut up and not cause divisions in the cong.Not for me,thank you very much!! I go and continue to go to the memorial only.I do this to keep peace with my wife and also because right around this time because of Ray Franz i think they brought out another new rule that those who quit were to be DFD also for the sin of quitting.Because of extended family I took the path of least resistance and am still there today.
