I don't know.
I figure I'd be better off getting to know and understand myself instead of working on my spirituality, whatever that is supposed to be. I feel more at peace not thinking about religion or atheism. God, and do I believe in him or not believe in him... I have wasted enough of my life on that.
sure, they are jws, but it's not about that.
they have never really cared about me.
they have always kept me out of their stupid little "club".
thanks, JT

LOL. yeah, I do. Much better. I will get to say all of this to them someday, and that will be great, but knowing them, I'm sure they will find a way to ruin it for me.
i have lurked here for quite some time but felt the need to register, probably because i feel almost ready to leave.
a little background.
i am raised in the truth, am for all intents and purposes a good witness.
L,
welcome! I understand your situation perfectly. they don't make leaving this organization easy, do they?
I think you will like it here, sometimes you just need to be able to talk to people who understand.

Sure, they are JWs, but it's not about that.
They have never really cared about me. They have always kept me out of their stupid little "club". Do they really think their transparent insults and petty games really get them anywhere? Do they really think I'm going to try my hardest to impress them, to get them to accept me, while they are busy insulting me by their actions and words? Is that what they really think? I know they need to paint a scenario in their warped little minds where I'm always gonna be the bad guy. This way, they don't need to think about all of the horrible things they have done. They can have that. I can't do anything about it anyway. So, I don't care anymore, and haven't cared for a long time.
What I finally understand about them is I never really had sisters at all. Not really. Sure, I was at their weddings, sat at the table for the family, and my parents are the same people that spawned them, but they are not my sisters and I am not theirs. They were never my sisters at all, and at this point, I believe they never will be.
So, I am gonna borrow from the words of Alec Baldwin here and, I just want to be able to say to them, I am tired of playing this game with them and they have insulted me for the last time with this crap. They are rude, thoughtless, fat, pathetic, boring, stupid little pigs.
Ok, thanks for letting me vent.
aol welcome page for 04/16/07 regarding "in specials" .
http://movies.aol.com/truestories/knocking.
based on the listed posts under "talkback", at the link shown above, i doubt if my post sees the light of day so i thought i would share it here;.
I was just reading the responses listed on the aol site and was surprised to see so much positive feedback and so very little negative feedback. actually only one solid negative comment. I am also very disappointed to see they wouldn't post your comment.
what did you think of the person who said they objected to the one tiny comment in the documentary that nobody was allowed to disagree with the policy, or else be expelled. saying that would never happen.
hmm. yeah, right.
while the va tech shootings have made top billing, the jw blood doctrine is also a top story in canada.
canada press announces that the sextuplet parents & jw lawyers are in court, fighting for the right of the parents to be granted a hearing before the children were taken away.
ex-jws protesting outside the courthouse appear in the paper, a nice picture too.
a big story about the knocking video just came up on my aol homepage. go to www.aol.com.
it seems to me that a repeating pattern with jw's is unfolding yet again.
i wonder if anybody else can "see" the same thing, or am i just imaginiing things?.
here's the scenario:.
It's interesting how transparent they are once you have been lifted out of the fog. I can only imagine how I would be feeling about some of the things they are threatening will happen soon if I still believed in any of that stuff.
I guess you have to go through several cycles of that before you finally realize they have been lying all along, Only trouble is the younger generation hasn't seen as much as you have, and the cycle continues.
this weekend i accompanied a few friends to a strip club in manhattan.
my wife doesn't like it too much, but since i promised her that a lap dance is asfar as i will go with a stripper, she tolorates it.. imagine my surprise when i noticed that an elder from my old congo was there along with several of his co-workers.. he tried to ignore me but before we left i stopped by his table and said hello.. he actually had the nerve to ask me if it was okay for us to speak.
i said since we were both in a strip club, it didn't matter.. my question - should i mention this to dubs i still maintain relationships with, who incidently worship the ground this elder walks on?.
just walk away from it and don't say anything. if you realize the watchtower society has no authority over you, why should it have any authority over him, even if he's an elder?
anyway, you wouldn't want that guy to think it was Jehovah's Holy Spirit that worked in you to clean his true christian congregation, would you? I mean, that would just be sad.
the earth will always be changing.. what ever happened to the acid-rain, sky is falling, bs?.
learning to live with global warming.
by richard s. lindzennewsweek international"the current alarm rests on the false assumption not only that we live in a perfect world, temperaturewise, but also that our warming forecasts for the year 2040 are somehow more reliable than the weatherman's forecast for next week.".
thank you six of nine, you took the words right out of my mouth. "what ever happened to acid rain" indeed. I think it might have had something to do with certain laws passed on certain industries to drastically reduce the acid rain problem, and that worked. I guess since nobody really heard much about that side of it, we are to assume acid rain just magically dropped off the radar, another "crazy" scientific goof.
in the case of acid rain, some lawmakers apparently didn't have their heads up their asses and did something about it. but as usual, since that happened more than 3 days ago, we forgot all about it.
