  Letter to MOM (comments welcomed)

  it's been a long time since i've posted anything, probably since i've been in the process of becoming an ex-exjw but lately i've been getting more emails from family inquiring about my beliefs or lack thereof, and often sending the latest rags, no doubt to lift my day .

  so, i thought i'd draft a letter to send to my mom, with the intention of letting her see a glimpse of my state of mind, and hopefully ease her mind some to see that i'm not in despair or plagued by feelings of guilt.

  i'll post the one part of her letter first that's relevant and then my response.

  a young single guy is on a cruise ship, having the time of his life.

  on the second day of the cruise, the ship slams into an iceberg and begins to sink.

  passengers around him are screaming, flailing, and drowning but our guy manages to grab on to a piece of driftwood and, using every last ounce of strength, swims a few miles through the shark-infested sea to a remote island.

  i apologize if someone has already posted something concerning this religous clash in the south seas , but i thought it quite interesting for a few reasons.

  Faders: Would you prefer attention from the elders or not?

  by ringo5 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this question may produce some flaming, but so be it.

  i've noticed many are freaked out, annoyed, worried, or simply felt harrassed when faced with the prospect of a visit from the elders when trying to fade.

  others, or at times the same ones, complain that they recieved no inquiry from them at all or very little.
