  dividuals have become atheists seeing that at one time they.

  professed a belief in god.. the intent is not to argue, debate, or incite to riot.

  This week's KM guilt-fest

  by StillGroggy in

  2. beliefs

  for anybody who attended the service meeting this week (or will this week)

  notice the guilt-fest article that mentions not working overtime at work or taking weekend trips and missing the meetings.

  ugh, any former witnesses remember looking down on people who went to the beach or took trips frequently on the weekends.

  I'm not sure how Taboo this subject is but anyway. I remember several witness suicides and attempts. I had an ex-witness cousin who succeeded. Of course, who could forget our good buddy "Puternut" who use to post on these boards...may he RIP!

  Did u want to leave the org bcause u were doing something immoral?

  by Will2Power in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ..and then sought to justify your leaving the organisation/religion by researching websites like this (to salve your conscience, justify continuing in your pleasurable but unscriptural lifestyle), or did you sincerely leave purely because you discovered certain false teachings, scandals, etc, while still living a moral, christian lifestyle?

  be honest now, i mean really honest.

  (this is not meant to offend anyone but viewed like a survey).

  I sometimes miss the friendships I "thought" I had. But, I am right there with ya. I am slowly but surely not caring anymore. I have sent e-mails, tried calling, talked to my dad briefly when my mom was in the hospital (btw, I was the only family member who they didn't want there), sent flowers, sent a book my Dad would appreciate, sent pictures of what I am up to now and of my son having a good time with me. The e-mails coming back are shorter and shorter and are colder and colder. My mom doesn't even sign them with love anymore and more recently stopped replying at all. Relationships take effort and when no effort is coming back the relationship dies. That's just the way it is.
