  i went to a bbq the other night and had a couple of glasses of white wine before being offered a white rum with black pepper.

  i knocked back two of those...not particularly large ones either and that was it...i was somewhere else!.

  the good part about it was that i was with some good friends who were able to take care of me....the bad part was that i could hardly remember anything the next day.

  Do you still struggle with a negative world view?

  well-trained jws tend to view all current events in relation to armageddon.

  they see the world as having no hope of improvement, and view all efforts to improve our home as a waste of time.

  have you totally broken free of this destructive viewpoint?

  .

  as much as i dreaded going to all the meetings there were things that i did enjoy.. 1. no special parking spaces for the elders, etc.. 2. no collections plate going around the room.

  3. no one person giving the talk every single week (can you imagine the same speaker 3 to 4 times a week, every day?

  Interesting phenomena regarding Witnesses

  by JamesThomas in

  first, and most important: thanks to all those who read my introduction-post last saturday, and especial thanks to those who replied.

  like many who have been disfellowshipped (and especially those raised in the org) i've been dragged through icy waves of agonizing hurt and anger; often followed by times of peace and letting go; only to be hit by another turbulent and bitter bout of animosity and grief.

  the tides do run deep, don't they.
