my cuz.
who is an elder and another ministereal servant came to see me.
i let them in and told them in a quiet, calm way.
Sioux, It will be the best thing you ever did.
This site and others like it gave me the courage to make the break and I disassociated last year.
On 3rd October I married an amazing woman who I would never have met had I still been in the Borganisation.
Lose small and free your life !
i mean for heaven's sake people!
sometimes it feels like coming onto this site is such a downer!
i don't mean to be offensive, but why don't we all try to make tomorrow a more positive day of posting.. like, talk about stuff in your lives that doesn't suck for just a little while!
Hey Naru - celebrate diversity and the freedom to actually have an opposite stance
If someone is irritating you, walk away and ignore them (trying doing that with elders and the like)
Pick up on the bits that you feel good about - encouragement of positive behaviour helps to create more of it

just got back from ireland - went to knock and attended catholic mass there - because i could .
on the way to knock, i sat down for breakfast at a great little pub and ordered a 'full irish'.
blow me, but there sat a slice of black pudding on my plate - so, again, because i could, i ate it .
somebody - thanks for the warm welcome back
country woman - the taste was not too good i have to say - i remember eating it as a kid and it wasn't bad at all, perhaps i need a bit more practice to wipe out that old bigamy ...
francois, spunky - the message from the priest was bible based and as 'relevant' as any 'public talk' - can't see what al the jw fuss is about ...
sandy, ss - is paganism close to freedom ?

after i came back for down under this jan. i gathered up all my j-dud literature except my indexes, bound volumes, insight and aid books.
these i wanted to use for references.
i took the rest out to the dumpster behind my office and filled the thing!
What's the point of bothering with ebay? Every time I check it, JW books have low bids or no bids at all.
I say TRASH 'EM
well, stefan raab is a famous german singer and comedian, maybe comparable to tom green.
he usually harasses big events and let the people there look a little stupid.
he even it made to represent germany at the european song contest with a song that made no sense at all.
maybe i was just curious to hear what they were going to discuss.
i went to the two day circuit assembly.
for those who wonder, its theme was taken from psalms 37:3 it's theme trust in jehovah and do good.
Do these men on the governing body really believe they are being led by God?
Surely any person in society saying such things would be quite rightly avoided.
The Borganisation is a massive publishing empire.
They even sell old books with outdated doctrines - why would they waste stuff they've not sold yet. Create a market and it'll keep you well off into old age.
There is no question of any true God being dictated to by the Watchtower Publishing Corp.
Therefore how could you return to Jehovah through them?
my son (18) has given his letter of disassociation to the elders , and it will be announced tomorrow night.i disassociated myself last year but i have never encouraged my son to do so.
he has not done it earlier for personal reasons, though he would have liked to as he really hates them even more than me, and believe me he has very good reasons.
my son was one of the most active young ones in the congregation..he gave so much for this organization...so it was unbelievable the way he was treated in time of test.what an example of ungratefulness and a total lack of love on the part of the jw.
Hi Titanic and Son 
Welcome to the real life - the cares of the world are nothing in comparison to the burdens bestowed by the Watchtower Publishing Corp.
Since leaving the borganisation, the quality of my life and the ones around me that I love, have increased tenfold.

e.man - am i damned for living in pompey and working with scummers ?
what a performance ... especially the bit where she 'choked the tears back' talking about her son.
remember what her father was?
an actor.
