my disfellowshipping

as with anyone associated with jehovahs witnesses the worst possible news anyone can have is being df.

it means a loss of everyone and everything you have known all your life.

Vivamus

I applaud you!

[tears in eyes]

Love and hugs, Viv.

I am the Antichrist!

well according to my mum anyway.

she came home from a meeting a few months back, looked at me and with a slightly manic laugh declared "you are the antichrist!".

i of course was shocked and ran to the bathroom to check my freshly shaven head for any marks etc but found nothing.

Vivamus

Don't worry! My mum said I looked like a Satan's worshipper once..... Granted, when she said that, I was wearing a black top and a CROSS....

[looking at my pict a bit worried] I don't do I?

depressed

by Vivamus in

i am depressed.

really, really bad.

its not like anything has happened, just the last few days, i am feeling terrible.

Vivamus

I guess we all have our lows at times. But it is good to know that here, there are people who understand, and care. And despite the hurt we all feel at times, it is so good to be out!

Love and hugs to all of you.

Connie Chung Clip Here...

[i was gonna title this thread "everybody lamb-chung tonight", but i thought it might be in bad taste...].

i digitized the segment and posted it at the link below.

it's 7mb, but if you have windoze, it should stream to you (meaning you can watch it while it downloads).

Vivamus

I can't open the link!!!! .... Could just be me, being a complete computer blonde though

Joke: You know you are living in 2002 when...

by Jim_TX in

you know you work in the 21st century (and you'd better get a life) when.... 21. cleaning up the dining area means getting the fast food bags out of the back seat of your car.. 20. your reason for not staying in touch with family is that they do not have email addresses.

conversely, the only way you keep in touch with your family is by email.. 19. keeping up with sports entails adding espn's homepage to your bookmarks.. 18. you have a "to do list" that includes entries for lunch and bathroom breaks and they are the only ones that get crossed off.. 17. you have actually faxed your christmas list to your parents.. 16. pick up lines now include a reference to liquid assets and capital gains.. 15. you consider 2nd day air delivery painfully slow.. 14. you assume any question about whether to valet park or not is rhetorical.. 13. you refer to your dining room table as the flat filing cabinet.. 12. your idea of being organized is multiple colored post-it notes.. 11. your grocery list has been on your refrigerator so long some of the products don't even exist anymore (who else remembers tang?)..

10. you lecture the neighborhood kids selling lemonade on ways to improve their process.. 9. you get all excited when it's saturday so you can wear sweats to work.. 8. you refer to the tomatoes grown in your garden as deliverables.. 7. you find you really need powerpoint to explain what you do for a living.. 6. you normally eat out of vending machines and at the most expensive restaurant in town within the same week.. 5. you think that "progressing an action plan" and "calendarizing a project" are acceptable english phrases.. 4. you know the people at the airport hotels better than your next door neighbors.. 3. you ask your friends to "think out of the box" when making friday night plans.. 2. you think einstein would have been more effective had he put his ideas into a matrix.. 1. you think a "half-day" means leaving at 5 o'clock..

Vivamus

20. Your reason for not staying in touch with family is that they do not have email addresses. Conversely, the only way you keep in touch with your family is by email.

Yes, I fear my computer is my significant other..... I need to get a life!

Abuse Myth

by gravedancer in

jw
friends

when you have the "who is the poster you like least competition" i know this post will enable you to choose gravedancer as a prime candidate but tfb here goes:.

it would seem as if everyone here is convinced that the organization of jehovah's witnesses is rife with molestors and they are raping kids at every juncture and every chance they get.

perhaps with the latest attention silentlambs has been getting this issue is just more prevalent but the reactions of some seem so stooped in personal bitterness that they are willing to just blindly accuse any jw of being a molestor (even when they know nothing else about that person other than the person is a jw).. true i agree 110% that the policy of the 2 witness rule needs to be changed immediately and victims should be encouraged to go to the police.

Vivamus

I agree.

Yes there has been child abuse and yes, the Borg is guilty of awful things. I am pretty pistoff at them myself.

BUT, we should not diminish our own credibly as apostates, by generalizing. We already have the name of being against the Borg, by the sheer fact of having been DFd or DAd. There already is a prejudice against us that we have spite and hateful feelings against the organization that kicked us out. We should be careful what we say, it should be nothing but the TRUTH.

And the truth shall set us free (lets hope).

Peace, Viv.
