A Friend just died
by AK - Jeff inone of the local elders - whom i loved dearly when we were in - just died.
funny how when you get out of this organization your attitude in life completely reverses, huh?
a year and half ago, just before starting the 'fade', i actually took my vacation days in order to attend the sunday meetings (i work a weekend shift now).

2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity
TV spots and bumper stickers.ROFL! Just another reason to decline the bread from Jehovah's table, eh Gary?
I find it incredibly amusing for some reason that the pop up ad in this thread is for low carb alternatives LOL.

...Or meet them at the door with a fruitcake and say, "I was just thinking of you when I was picking our family snack for the evening's festivities!"
(((((((Mulan)))))) I'm sorry that you have to deal with this crud. I just told my husband and he said "You mean people rat each other out to the elders?" "Oh, it's their duty to keep the congregation clean!" I explained. He still doesn't fathom completely how wacky dub-dom is. One of the reasons I love him so much.
We're here for you to vent to whatever happens!!!
love,

Losing Fear and Guilt with HUMOR
by Dogpatch inlosing fear and guilt with humor
if i had never gone to bethel i would never have known how arrogant and controlling some of the powers that be are that are there.
it only takes a few in key positions.

I love it, Randy!
Only with humor can you possibly make it through dealing with the circus that is Jehovah's Witness family and their vicissitudes. Sometimes the behaviour is so obsurd that if you didn't laugh you'd drown in your tears. All you can do is laugh and keep bailing!
I've often told my husband, if I ever lose my sense of humor it's time to put me out to pasture. Or call "Smiling Jack." LOL Thanks for reminding us and for all the great links, can't wait to explore them when I have more time.
Hugs to you and happy holidays!!!
*smooch on the cheek*
love, Essie

Are You a "Better" Person Since You've Left The Witnesses???
by minimus inhonestly, are you a better person now or were you a "better" person when you were a jw?
-

Fleur
Better? Well.....by the JW's standards I'm probably so far gone I have no chance of being considered a better person...especially when the Big 'A' arrives.
Aww, Preston. I'm sure that's what they think of me too...(((((preston)))) we love ya just the way you are!
I am definitely happier than I was, and I try to be 'better'. I plan to work on that the rest of my life, though, to me it's a never-ending process of learning and growth.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (Or, the collected Hitchhikers series in one volume) by Douglas Adams
The Collected Works of Alfred, Lord Tennyson
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
I think that sums it all up pretty good, in one way or another.
