Awww - So cute! Don't you love it when they are sleeping?!?!?!
BTW - Can you even imagine her growing up and not speaking to her because she doesn't want to be in your religion cult?? It blows my mind that people can do that!!

607bce. An idiots guide needed please.
by laurelin ini have read a lot of threads on here about 607 b.c.e.
and i find a lot of them confusing.. i'm not an idiot but neither am i that well versed in star charts and archeological finds and some of the threads here (that i've found) have left me even more confused as they often make reference to things i know nothing about.. does anyone out there know where i can find an easy to read and understand explanation of 607.. am i to understand that it's the bible that comes to the date 607 and no other secular evidence can be found?.
i'm not having a go at any of the threads here as i'm sure they are excellent threads, they just go right over the top of my head.. i can't get any access to books or anything like that due to home circumstances so anything online would be perfect.. i would be grateful for any help anyone can give me.. thanks.

More Adventures at the District Convention
by RunningMan ineven more adventures at the district convention
well, i have once again found myself at that extravaganza of masochism, the district convention.
this year, however, since my kids were still in school, i was able to skip out on the first day, and join in for only the last two days.

Former Bethelite comes out and shares story
by Dogpatch ini was always a shy kid that desperately wanted to make my parents proud.
at about this same time i started to hang out with some guys that my dad didn?t particularly approve of.
i wonder how my life would have turned out had i stopped at any point between ages 14 and 19 and asked myself who exactly i was doing all this for.

Hi Michael
I could relate so much to your story. I too was shy, had low self esteem and wanted approval. That led me to baptism at age 13 and was DF'ed at 18 because I was doing it all for the wrong reasons. It has been hard dealing with my mom's refusal to associate with me. But it would have been much harder and more costly to sell my soul to a cult. It has only been that last 2 months that I have read CofC and some other internet information and It was very disturbing for me to learn that everything I based my young life on and the loss of my mother - is all really for nothing but a pack of lies! I think I am still in a state of shock! I am so happy for you that you are in a happy relationship - so many of us end up alone for a while until we are able to build a "family of choice."
Hang in there buddy!
Randy - thanks for sharing this story. BTW - I love your writing!

I'm a Junior Member!!! Not to waste a thread - but just wanted to celebrate!! This has been a great place for me in so many ways. Mostly - to not feel alone as an xjw anymore. That cult has had such an impact on my life and most people just don't get it. There are so many warm, friendly, intelligent, witty and just plain funny people here! Thanks to everyone!
P.S. I still want to know about the campaigne! haha

Uh-oh...sounds like they are in. I don't really have any advice for you. I would love to get my mom out - she has been shunning me for 18 years. I don't want to apologize for anyone else but a lot of us have been harmed so horribly by this cult - it can be hard to not sound angry or sarcastic when talking about it.
Please stick around. You will get a lot of good information and support here.

Crizlee and Obviously Secret - I wish I could just give you guys a hug! You are like prisoners doing time until you can be free and live your own life. Good for you both that you are here exploring life and reclaiming your mind!!! You've been given good advice by some others about being careful with your anonymity. Its great that you have each other for support. The convention is a good idea...you can tell your folks that's where you met.
Hugs and Hang in there!

Hi Marked
Welcome to forum - its a great place! I've been DF'ed for 18 years but only recently learned about all the lies and hypocracy. It really is apalling. I also regretted missing out on time - mostly in regards to my career and money. I'm behind to say the least. It also angers me that my mom will have nothing to do with me - that she chooses a pack of lies over me. Hearing others cope with similar circumstances on this board is a GREAT help to me.
See you around!
