I must make a suggestion:

All of you need to visit Thespark.com. They have an array of test, including the bitch test, slut test, IQ test, personality test, gay test, etc. Really is quite entertaining.

Thank you Great Britain, Australia, and Canada for being such good friends to us. Thank you for Bitter Mango, Naeblis (the Turkish man PRETENDING to be greek and the lovely, unseen Prisca). Thank you for the wonderful e-man, who can probably drink all of us young uns under that table. Simon, our board lord, thank goodness we have you. HEHEHE. Of coarse, that is my personal take on it. Peace.

IVE GOT A FUNNY FEELING

by josephus in

friends

i thought that would get your attention.. i dont know if im being perverse here, but i seem to want one last confrontation with the jws.. i am out a good while now.

long enough to stop getting hellos on the street.

what those scumbags did to me before in thier meetings (old h20ers may remember) i still want to go at them again.. i was so depressed about things i really thought about suicide.

AMarie

First of all, I want to say to Makena that I am SOOOO sorry about the loss of your daughter. I ache for you. Nothing compares to the loss of your child. I pray to god, whomever he is, that he will ease your pain and aid you through the ongoing process of healing. God bless you.

Josephus:
Alot of us have been in your shoes. We have been betrayed by the only family and friends we have known and to come to the realization that these people are not our real friend is sickening. I've been in the exact same place that you are now. The only thing I can say to you is that healing is a process. Don't fight your anger and your sadness. As hellish as it is, just hold on because things will get better. Eventually, the anger and hurt will melt away and you will feel total peace. You will see the reason (as absurd as this may sound) that you were involved in this fucked up cult. You will take all of this information with you and become a much wiser person. You will do an EXCELLENT job with your children and become a much more understanding person of other people's plights.

I know this sounds like a bunch of psycho babble, but trust me it's true. I struggled through the same things for so long. And it is funny, I hate the fact that I was taken advantage of that way and raped spiritually, but sooo much good came out of it. Had I not experienced what I had, I often wonder where I would be right now. Not as good of a place that I am now, that's for sure. I would have been a callous, self righteous bitch, that's what I would have been. Please, Josephus, keep pushing forward. Although it's not fair that we have had to go through these horrible things, the peace, understanding, and happiness that you feel afterward makes it worth it. May peace be with you my friend. We are all here for you when you need us.

"Too young to die?"

by msil in

jw
friends

i had occasion to travel to sub-saharan africa on business a year ago.

what would you like?, i asked.. could you buy me a packet of potato-chips?.

i cannot eat a packet of potato-chips even now.

AMarie

Msil:

That is a heart wrenching story. God that is so sad. It takes stories like those to realize how lucky we are. Americans are so caught up in making big bucks that they forget how lucky they are to have their health, a roof over their heads and food to eat.

Thanks for posting the story.

Who Wants A Christmas Card?

by Englishman in

jw
friends

i want to send lots of christmas greetings cards this year.

i especially want to send a card to dozens of posters from this site.

i suppose the obvious answer is that folks email me with an address.

AMarie

I've got an idea:

We ought to compile all of the e-mail addresses of those Dubs who have sent hate mail and blitz them with electronic Christmas Cards this year

That would teach them a thing or two.

By the way, do you all think it would be save enough to post our addresses right here on the board? OK, wait, dumb questions. All of the dubs who hand out here will start sending us watchtowers or JWs to our door. So how do we organize this? I want to make sure everybody gets a card. Any ideas?

I've been dying to see US. Even though they are a rock band, their lyrics are very spiritual and sometimes make a political statement. On top of that they sound f$%cking awesome. I hope to go if they come to my area. Unfortunately, tickets are pretty expensive to see them play. Anywhere from $50 (nose bleed section) to $1000 (front row). I'm sure it's totally worth it, though.

Let's have some honest answers

by chappy in

jw
friends

ok all you ex's, be honest.

do you ever have that little voice pop in your head and say "what if - just what if they're right?".

it happens to me on occasion and i've been totally out for years.

AMarie

Chappy:

This happens to me on occasion. In my case, the cure has been to go to a meeting. When you're there, you remeber why you left and you can see how much your thinking has changed. The talks that were always so full of "spiritual food" seem petty and stupid. That's when I know I can never go back.

Does anyone get scared?

by aud8 in

does anyone who has left the organisation ever get scared at current world events and what they seem to be leading to?

more and more the governments are getting fed up with religion, there is now more than even a call "for" peace rather than "of" peace and security.

bin laden and his extremist religious views would give rise to the thought that governments will in the future be intent on eradicating religion altogether due to the trouble it causes.

You Know:

Ianao raised a good question. What about the apostates who wouldn't "spit" in Jehovah's face? There are many people here that love god and want to worship him but are no longer Witnesses. What about those ones?

To quote you, "Hitler no doubt killed thousands of sweet old Jewish ladies. Stalin starved millions of Ukranian peasants. Why do you assume that YOU are so special? Jehovah's pre-recorded judgments are that this system meet up with it's day of justice. You imagine that God is going to personally kill people he doen't like. That's not what the judgment day is all about. The judgment day is when this system fails and leaves people with only two alternatives. One will lead to life and the other to death.Each person will be required to make a choice under the most trying of circumstances. Apostates mock and ridicule the very notion that this system could implode upon itself. On the other hand, I have repeated shown from this world's own sources, that the system is very vulnerable to collapse and that in fact that such a calamitous crash is inevitable. Jehovah offers a place of protection to those who are willing to look to him. What more do you think God should do? / You Know"

So in the great tribulation, this system falls, and we are all left with two alternatives. Do you believe that it is possible for non-JWs to make the right choice? Even if they don't mock the notion that we are in the last days, looking at today's events?
