hello friends.......

i've been reading stories on, i should have done, , or i shouldn't have done, which to me turn to regretting it ever took place or not.

just thinking on what was or what we haven't done can bring anger, or frustration to mind.

for someone who was raised in the "truth" for 17 years it was a very hard and a very scary decision when my father finnally had the "you must choose a side of the fence" speech and when i chose not to do it anymore he flipped his lid and i so "tormented" by my decsion i latched on to "maryjane" to fill the "need".

after living with my parents for two years and then on my own for two more years crying everynoght cause i was alone not knowing way i felt this way this way, i felt a spirtual need at 3:30am i drove to my dads house and beged him to let me came home because the "voices" were drivin me crazy and i needed "guidance" he said well get you a meeting with elders and a "bible study".

so i move back in, had a talk with the elders where they used the bible to call me stupid and i went to there meeting where they used what i said in private and made a whole new talk based around it i broke down crying and prayed to god for the guidacne to make me strong and make the tears stop and the holy spirt led me to this site i moved in with my brother and told my parents i can know longer belive the "truth".

Do you have goals?

When I was a kid in school the teachers always pushed the idea of goals. I never did because the big A was right around the cornor. Now as an adult it is even harder to put goals in place. However, the longer I am away from JW things, the better I feel about the future. So I think it is time for meaningful goals.

Goals are new, forwarding - moving objectives. They Magnetize you towards them.
