AlanF .. you have misunderstood me. The taste of freedom I spoke of was to be away from the WTS, nothing raunchy ;) The freedom I meant was to come and go as I please and be accountable to no one. I slept in every weekend ... no meetings .. no service. Tuesday and Thursday evenings were mine to do with as I please. All my choices were mine and no thought as to whether the WTS would agree or not.

The way I see it now is ... that was false freedom because I was living outside of Jehovah's arrangement. As for my thoughts on ex Jws and what they find amusing to do in their spare time .. I figured most of them were here. Doesn't leave a lot of time to be too raunchy.

I hope you are wrong about me sitting on the fence. I'm not too sure of a lot of things anymore. Just hoping it's a bad day and will get back to normal tomorrow. Thanks for bothering ...

AlanF .. You are right. I'm posting here and really should be talking to fellow believers. The fact is .. I can come here anonymously, and get a lot off my chest. Hopefully in a few hours I'll be back to my old self again and be but a bad memory here.

I experienced the taste of freedom you speak of. It was not wonderful but will never be forgotten. I was out for many years so have seen and experienced both sides of this coin. I prefer where I am .. even though you see my weak sides.

steve,

I don't know why but I will answer your question. You are right .. I said I wouldn't come back here. We all have trying times in our lives and don't know where to turn for help. I'm having one of those times right now. You can see by my first post here today, I lashed out. Now I feel terrible that I did and appologize.

steve .. see, you can speak with a civil tongue.

If your veiled reference is that I should not be here if I am in fact a JW, I choose to be here.

JAVA .. you are wrong on two points. I AM a friend in deed. I AM a follower of Jehovah (not WTS).

You did open my eyes to one good point though. I have no right to put down anyone. None of us do.

Are you wrong to feel this way?

Exactly why would anyone come on this site and ask such a question?

Guess we can all assume it is rhetorical.

In any case, if you dislike attending the KH so much ... quit! If you don't get anything out of the meetings, I'm sure you aren't contributing much either.

You are free to feel anyway you want. Isn't it wonderful that Jehovah gave us all free choice?

Obviously your intellectual betters here haven't jumped in to pat you on the back yet ;)

Hate filled creatures....

i should have started an new thread ... didn't realize so many would jump in on holly's post.

i may have used too strong of words in saying 'hate filled' by why do you all call someone who disagrees with you a 'troll'.

i disagree with lots of people without resorting to name calling.

cindykp ... I really should have taken the time to answer you. (sorry).

Actually, I don't think Jehovah does approve of me being here. That is why I promised that today is my last day here. I just felt that I could possibly help people who are on the fence. Now I see that the spirit of this place is no place for me.

As for people not believing in Him anymore ... well, people change. As far as I know, I have helped a few people back to the organization. From now on I'll keep my words for people face-to-face. I enjoyed talking with you on pm and wish you all the best.

adelmaal .. I saw it alright .. I chose to ignore it. It's what I usually do when I see her posts.

cindykp .. sorry, I forgot what you asked. I likely did not answer because I didn't feel it needed answering. Most comments here are just jabs and I ignore them.
