arg... okay, i've been trying to do this on my phone and it's been giving me fits.

here is what i had attempted to post.. i'm at work, night shift, and nothing is going on.

i thought a comic strip would be an amusing way of telling my story to people outside of this community.. it's a rough draft, i'm open to feedback.

On a side note, as this really happened, I was forced into flirting with him knowing what would happen and was required to break it off when the poor guy was inevitably interested too much by sending him a Youth Book.
Ah memories. *vomit*

Not a one on one satire on Witnesses, just more my experience. My excuse was always that my mother grew up in the world and had a hard time understanding how Witnesses dated. (Not even Witnesses know how Witnesses date.)
I can promise you, the only dialog exaggerated is the "purged" part.

Haha, I'm so sorry. My phone totally crapped out and I'm not sure how to delete to the post.
A little embarrassing.

ok, so in the interests of balance....(as it has rightly been pointed out that i am getting more bitter toward the org), can we think of any positive or nice things about jehovah's witnesses?.

just throwing this topic out there....... .

I have to give kudos to my Witness Mother In Law. She's a manipulative, sad, and angry Harpy (I still love her and pity her as she was born in and Lo! Sexually abused) but she reared a fantastic specimen of a man. I actually want to see her reaction when she finds out we've both turned to the Dark Side.

Her and others who really are trying to do the right thing, the rank and file, arn't so bad and she managed to teach her son how to reason and do research.

one last step..Is being mentally out the same as being emotionally out?

we talk here about the importance of being mentally and physically out to be really free.. what about being emotionally free?.

i realized for me, i had to be emotionally awake first.

i had been yo-young back and forth for years.

I only woke up about two months ago and I feel like I'm going insane from the stress of trying to sort things out.

I always saw the corruption but it was just a wait on Jehovah situation. After learning TTATT and actually reading the Bible without any "help" it didn't take me long to remove myself mentally. My biggest hurtle is going to be the emotional attachment to my family. I have good friends that are mildly open minded but I doubt they'll stick around long when they've noticed I've stopped showing up. As I'm a freshly budded apostate I'm still very religious, time will tell what happens there.

Born a JW and my stomach cramps when I acknowledge that I'm an apostate based on the way JWs define the term...so yeah, still a bit emotional.
