You just brought a smile to my face!!! Yeah! I love the way you put it: "We were all excited for you and worked our asses off so you could attend and you can't share your stupid little book with us"? I love it! I'll smile about that all day now. Thanks! And you are so right. It really is a class system. I can see that now that I've been away so long.

Welcome!!!!!
I wasn't on the board last night, so my welcome is late. Better late than never! I did the slow fade too and I've been out for over 13 years. I'm so happy to be out of there, but the pain in leaving is tough especially when you have alot of family still in there. Take it from me...it gets better with time and the blinders they put on you start to wear off. Welcome to the world. It's a beautiful place!

It finally arrived!
by orangefatcat inwell after waiting a long six weeks and wondering everyday during that time was i going to get my new electric scooter and yes it finally arrived to one very happy orangefatcat.
it is a beautiful scooter full equipped and its fire engine red.
i took it out the other day and for the first time in years i was able to go around a beautiful park, talking to my neighbours, children, skaters, skateboards, families with their little ones and squirrels and birds and people greeting me and chating and some have puppies who try to get on board, well it was all so envigorating.

Why Do People WANT To Become One of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by minimus inwhy do you think people choose to join this religion??
?

I think it's because they think they've found the magic bottle with the genie in it. They have something no one else has. That first class ticket to everlasting life. Eventually they become smug and start to look down on other religions and people. They place themselves on this pedestal and look out their makebelieve window at the world and shake their heads in pity..........................it makes them feel powerful

"Because They're A Cult"........
by minimus inyesterday, a business associate asked me why jws would not celebrate a birthday, a bar mitzvah, or any other holiday.
he asked why they literally believed only 144,000 go to heaven.
he asked how they could celebrate everything 1 year and the next year, tell their families that everything is pagan........my answer to all of his questions, were "it's because they're a cult.

At first Min, it was hard to think of myself being part of a cult. I didn't really want to believe it. Now after I realize that it IS a cult, I say it to everyone. And when my friends all ask me why I stayed in it....I tell them because my Mother raised me in it and told me I would be destroyed if I didn't do as they instructed me....thats what cults do!

Piercings Anyone?
by santacruzchick inout of curiosity, is anyone on this forum 'into' body piercings?
for years i'd wanted my eyebrow pierced, but i never got it done because of course it wouldn't be acceptable at the kingdom hall, and my mom certainly wouldn't be approving.
finally, my second year in college, around last halloween, i got my eyebrow done, and i love it.

How Many Reveal Themselves Totally On This Board?
by minimus insome feel that you should put out a history of who you are, what your life was and is like now and express it in a very simple way so that everyone can "know" you.
we've had posters say they were elders, elder's sisters, hurt jws, etc.
it could all be a little fantasy.

I think once you leave the religion, you are very cautious about revealing too much about yourself to anyone. I know that I will take it slowly to tell all my life's story. I'm always afraid what people would think. My goal is to post a picture like so many of you do. It's brave to post your picture.....I'm not very brave yet.
