which books helped you when you first left the jw organisation?.

Thanks for all those suggestions, will definately give some of those a read. Esspecially the ones by R. Franz.
Looks like I will be very busy for a while. If i dissapear of the board for a while don't worry, will be busy reading. Don't worry could never stay away for to long, would miss all of you too much.
ok time to be brutally honest.. what do guys think of women with tattoo's.
first thing that jumps into your head.. reason i ask is i'm getting my first one next week and was wondering what the general concensus is.. i am definately sure about doing it.
thought about it for years and it took me 6 months to find the design i wanted.
Ok promise i wont have my boobs done. On the shoulder blades sounds good. Was thinking of getting one done for each of my kids, my daughter wants tweety bird and my son and i have not agreed on his one, don't fancy a snake tattoo. won't be doing those ones for a while.
this subject has been gnawing at me for awhile now.. so many of you:.
1) were raised in "the truth?".
2) did you get baptized and at what age?.
1) Raised in the truth ? Yes
2) Did you get baptised and at what age ? Yes, 17
3) What age were you when you faded, were DF'd or DA'd? Started fading about 4 years ago but fought it, wanted to be a good girl, finally got jack of it all about 9 months ago and was disfellowshiped 5 weeks ago, age 30.

Also what exactly does "the borg" mean? Sorry blonde newbie.
jw's can't end an engagement to marry someone.. when my teenage engagement to a jw sister ended, i was asked to state who had brought the relationship to an end because that person would be summoned to appear before a jc.. i was astonished at this infringement on a person's freedom.. here's the wt's take on this:.
questions from readers.
is it proper for a christian who is engaged to be married to break off that engagement??a.
I suppose it depends, again, on the elders in the cogregation and the parents of the engaged couple.
Although I've never herd of there being a comittee about it. I know of plenty of JW who have caled off engagements and there has never been a problem.
My parents always told me that untill you say I do then it was never to late to call the whole thing off. Both my parents were in the truth.
If they are being viewed as good as married then why the prohibition on premarital sex?
I'm with Simon on this one, if yo can't call it off then why can't you have sex. Definately would have made the time I was engaged a lot easier, for one no chaperones.
tmo commented on reading books which gave different views on why under the crisis of conscience thread.
all i've ever known is the jw view.
that he is giving satan time to prove mankind cant lead themselves.. what are other views?
In order for us to truly have free will, God has to allow the possibility that a person exercising their own free will could commit evil/wickedness. It's not that he likes it, but you can't have one without the other. If we were all only allowed to do good, then in effect we are not free to exercise all of our will completely.
Yes but does any one truly have free will. It has to be controled buy our up bringing or the environment around us.
It's far from simple. I know it's something that i've been thinking about a lot.
this is a paragraph out of an email my mother sent me.
this doesnt help.
why cant they see that its this talk that attributed me to needing therapy in the first place!
Hi and Welcome cuddlepie.
We all get that from time to time.
I am a firm believer in following your own path, just because you are no longer in hte organization does not mean that jehowah will no be there for you of you will have no support.
i was disfellowshipped 5 weeks ago and although I found it really hard for the first few weeks I'm doing a lot better now, still have a long way to go.
I'm feeling really close to Jehovah at the moment, It's a closer bond i think because I have no one dictating to me how I should feel. And as far as support goes I have heaps, and a lot of it from friends who are still witnesses but have become disolusioned. The support is great because it's from people who accept me for who i am and don't expect anything of me.
I know it's easy to say but just ignore your mum, she's still being brain washed and is only doing what she thinks is best for you.

Yeah the pain thing is worrying me to, but after having 2 kids, my belly button pierced, and various parts of my body waxed i should be able to handle it. Will let you know!

friends of my girlfriend's family are lending us a cottage in france this summer.
i want to have my two daughters there for a week.
I'm so sorry. It's terrible when people use their kids to hurt their ex's.
I hope things can be sorted out.
Give your kids a hug from me.
My husband and i have just separated and we are determined to put our kids first. They are, after all the best thing to come out of our relatioship and we both love them more than anything.
