Wow! I just had the best idea. Since the WT can change the date of stuff that already happened-like the fall of Jerusalem, maybe they could change my birthday. I would love to be 18 again. I would go to college and find a cure for something and drink beer.

Do you feel you will always be "different" from the "world" ?
by LyinEyes inall of my life,, except for the last two years i was a jw, and i wonder if i will always feel like i am still so very different from the rest of most everyone i know.
i guess i still feel like i am on the "outside" looking in, in on the world of the people i was so alienated from for so long.. i celebrate birthdays, all the holidays, i stand for the national anthemn, but still it does not quiet feel second nature to me .
as i stand watching my son play high school football, my mind is always wandering on the marvel of what i am seeing.

Sadly, I too am Sad,
At times I am bursting with joy because I am free, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to really feel the things I do (Christmas etc...)
At times having been raised a JW feels like such a sad reality. But then there are other times. Times when I feel that I have an insight into human nature that some people just don't feel. This is hard, I have such deep feelings about this that it is hard to gather them together.
The thing is that we have had the chance to live two lives. The juxtaposition of the JW belief system with that of "worldly" belief systems no matter which we have chosen represent polar opposites in so many ways. We understand the true power of what we teach our children because even as mature adults we have a hard time releasing what we were taught as children.
What does that teach us?
From it we can understand why racism is so pervasive. From it we learn why there is war or greed or genocide. Then we must find out what we can do - each of us individually to help make the world a better place. Because now that we are a part of the "world" we have a responsibility to it. When I remember and think about these things, I don't have time to be sad-too much to do so then. . . .
Happily, I am Happy.

I have peered into the abyss and seen the Watchtower evil !
by Undaunted Danny ini have peered into the abyss and seen the evil.
the jehovah's witnesses are diabolical disciples of satan.they do eat their young and have murdered more innocents than the global terrorists .
we have tackled a wide range of topics here,such as wrecked family's and marriages,and their blasphemous gospel of gobbledygook.

I have one more to add to your list
In discouraging having children so close to the "Great Tribulation" they have robbed couples of the chance to be parents. Heartbreaking

Terry,
Wow, Great Stuff now I have some great ammo for the next time I need it. I think your friend is very loyal and deeply appreciates his connections to friends and family. He is the sort of intelligent and unique individual who does not really belong in a religion which is mostly populated by drones who are unable to entertain original thought. But he truly is in a "hostage situation" and I am sure that if he could keep the people he loves he would gone.

I do want to know I must confess. What kind of laws cover divorce in Mass. We have "no fault" here in Wisconsin. My divorce was over in four months, and the only reason it took that long is because of a mandatory "cooling off" period.
I wasn't relieved though, I was shattered and remained so for many years. But had I been in limbo for 3 years I may have felt differently.
