  Former Bethelite comes out and shares story

  i 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.

  Sorry - my last post got cut off - I'm not used to this fancy smancy set-up here!

  Get your mind set to start your new life NOW! You can start building your own family - who won't judge you by how many hours you put into field service last month - with your girlfriend and her family. Make friends with your neighbors, and the people you work with. It is amazing how many great people there are around you that are never given a chance by those stuck in the cult because they aren't dubs... Truly amazing!

  I haven't spoken to my mother in over two years and I've only missed her once. (I was sick with the flu and I wanted my mommy! Obviously delusional!) You get used to it. It is actually quite refreshing after a while that your time is yours! Imagine, you don't have to spend every once of your vacation time going back to the same old place time and time again! You can go anywhere! Of course, in my world you get to go see the in-laws who live four hours away, but hey, what the heck? I can't have everything!

  Kingdom Hall Destroyed By Fire

  the denbigh, virginia kingdom hall was destroyed by an accidental fire begun by a member who was welding and soldering pipes in a bathroom.

  the insulation ignited and although he tried to extinguish the blaze, he was unsuccessful.

  3 congregations used the building; now they have nowhere to meet and will have to rebuild.. http://www.dailypress.com/news/local/dp-36592sy0jun30,0,4261948

  I wonder if they still have mold problems in the basement? That may have been the cure-all for mold. Dry it up! Really really dry...

  Pictures YES! That's a good idea... I would love to see a Klingon Hull all black and crusty...

  Sounds good to me! Definately send a copy to the higher ups. Send a copy to your local paper and to one of those airplanes that carries banners around at the beach or at the soccer game!!! Make it known and then fry their &*$'s!!!

  Using their own information against them is a good tactic. Let them choke on their own words...

  Good luck and may the force be with you...

  Hey! Did you ever wonder how to use a piece of plastic to cover the mags?

  here's a truly weird flash animation demo of "how to use magazine covers".

  this is waaaay too bizarre... if anyone is good with shockwave or flash they should do a parody (although the self-parodying nature of this is too much!)..

  Did that skit ever do anything? I watched the same thing over and over four or five times and HAD to turn it off... Did they eventually crash and die or something? Implode? Get murdered psycho style on the fornt porch by the cat who was screeching to get them off his porch?

  Definately good for a laugh! It actually reminded me of life in the Borg, go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go to service go to a bad covered dish picnic go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings go in service go to meetings!

  Your biggest obstacle will be that the children live with their mother and she has more time to fill their heads with her spew of venomous sh**. You will lose this battle unless the children can be won now. And that will entail him having custody of the kids. He has a case with the courts, with the fact that she was sleeping around. However, they will slam him with mental stability issues so it will be a battle.

  This hits very close to home because my mother did this same thing. She slept around and then when my dad go tired of it and left he was disfellowshipped as soon as he got a girlfriend she pulled him before the elders. Though her infidelity was never mentioned because my dad just wanted out. From there she filled our heads with trash about how horrible he was, about how he left us because he didn't love us anymore. About how he was sleeping around and what a horrible person he really was, how he beat her and would have us too if she hadn't sent him away (no her stories never jived but as a kid who notices?) We tried to see him, but we would get a silent treatment when we got home. We tried to talk on the phone with him, but she always had chores that we had to do RIGHT then. The summer before kindergarten my sister and I went to see him and when we came home our pet goat was gone. My mother said that he strangled himself in some string because we weren't home to play with him. It was our fault the goat was dead, then she didn't talk to us for two weeks. When my oldest sister turned 16 my dad bought her a car so that she could drive us to see him. My mother chose this as her opportunity to tell her that my dad wasn't her dad. She was the product of mom's first marriage and yet she had only known my dad as her father since they married when she was only a year old. She made a "deal" with him that if he'd quit calling and coming to see us then he didn't have to pay child support. She then told us that it was his idea. That he didn't want anything to do with us and so he wasn't going to help support us anymore. A few years later she turned him into the DA's office for not paying child support and had him thrown in jail. She made it so difficult to have a relationship with him that we quit trying.

  It wasn't until I was long out of the house and out of the Borg that I was able to sit down and talk to him and realize that everything that he had to say was true. He was a genuinely great guy who didn't want his children to be separated (he never tried to get custody of us because he knew since the oldest wasn't his they would never give him custody) so he didn't try. God how I wish he would have now!

  Anyway, you are up for a long battle and unless you can get through to those kids and keep in their lives so that they know for themselves that you are both good people. You need to work extra diligently to keep the full time parent from filling their heads with trash!

  I am not sure what you mean about a cease and desist letter, but if you think that calling the woman on the table is going to help, think again. She'll just turn it on you and she now has it in writing. The JWs are masters at reading into written words, just look at the philosophies on the bible!

  May you be successful in getting those children to know YOU and not know you by the Borg standard.

  Good luck!

  Good luck to you~

  Let's not forget to bring to light the fact that your new love will be required to bring you into the organization if she is to remain in good graces, or atleast attempt to do so. She will try with all of her might to make you see *THE TRUTH* and make you into a good little JW to sit beside her at the meetings and spend the rest of your life toiling for the congregation. You will take your turn going door to door and giving talks at the Tuesday night bookstudy.

  Can you image the strain on your relationship if you've invested all of this time and emotion into a relationship and trying to stay nuetral with her beliefs being so fricking wacked out and then she lays on you that you need to come to the meetings with her and study with an elder so that you two can be together? WW!

  I know you think that you love this woman, but you are so naieve as to what you are getting into. Please if you love her then you will let her go. Because if you don't you will both be miserable for a long time...

  Good luck...

  i was thinking about this the other day in response to the question, "am i coming back?

  " put forward by jw who called me (a former friend).

  i said that i would not answer that question since it would put her in an uncomfortable position.

  I'd never go back even if they gave out the vanilla pudding at every meeting!!!

  I have never been happier than now that I am away from the mind games of the WickedTumor.
