  It's been a fun ride (Moving On)

  to my friends, exjw's, and hypocritical watchtower-apologists,.

  i promised on this website quite some time ago that should i ever leave jw.com, i would be honorable and not complain nor post some grandiose exit so as to garner unnecessary attention and bandwidth, and i will keep that promise.

  i am not complaining, i love many people on this website, and can relate to their pain like few others can, because i experienced it myself.

  its my birthday and i got some anais anais body mist, a buffy "watchers guide" book, and some angel innocence perfume and shower mousse.. my bf says he will buy me an outfit when i'm better, too,.

  russell grant says this about people born on 14 september:.

  at their best, people born on september 14 are tremendous party-givers and general planners of fun and great holidays.

  In the name of Jesus Christ

  by stichione in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as members of the "other sheep" we were always taught to conclude our prayers with the words: "in jesus christ, amen".

  what i don't get though is, why are we praying to god in jesus' name if jesus christ is not the mediator of the "other sheep" but only of the "little flock?

  we are instead taught that only by associating ourselves with the watchtower society can we hopefully/maybe be saved.

  Maybe we instead should be praying to God in the name of the Governing Body

  Lol, good one.

  I don't think she will be DF'd. She is showing such a burden of guilt, the elders will not Df her.

  My heart goes out to her, I remember feeling just as guilty over some things done by me. There is no way to reason with her, saying what she did is okay, that will not work. She is utterly convinced what she did is wrong, how terrible, how sad.

  Wish there was something I could do.

  It Aint Noone, It's Your

  by Francois in

  2. friends

  noone is bad enough, i'll warrant (see thread below), but the offense against not only oxford, but against webster, that eclipses them all is the use of your when you mean you're.

  this one is enough to drive both the devil and daniel webster straight up the wall; and it's everywhere you look.

  how did some of you gentle folk ever get out of eighth grade?.

  Honey, I know exactly how you feel but you are missing one point here. You are in control! whether you step into that KH or not, it is YOUR decision. The elders have NO control over you. You saw that religion and what is stands for, for exactly what it was, a false religion. They can make you sit in the back, they can tell you not to speak up in the Hall, but they cannot tell you what to think, they cannot tell you how to love. Your mind is free, unlike the mind of your husband and his mother and sister. Don't forget this Snoozy. Treasure the last moments you have with your husband, don't let the petty rules of some men get between you and your husband. You are above them.

  "No thanks, have fun"

  by kenpodragon in

  one key moment i remember as being a witness was this time i met this family that was visiting from california.

  they were friends of some people we knew in the hall, and thus we spent a good amount of time with them the week they were here.

  they had two polite daughters and the mom was one of those people who could sit and talk to for hours and hours.

  I have no similar story to offer. But I wanted to give you some cyberhugs, words seem inadequate.
