i've been reading this forum for a while and i felt it was time to post my experience.
i am very comforted when i read others experiences and how similar they are to mine, i don't feel alone.. anyway, i learned the truth in 97, got baptized in 98. all of sudden i was getting prvileges, parts on the ca and dc and had friends that seemed to care about me and i cared for them.
eventually the love started to cool off, the meetings felt like watching reruns of a bland tv show.

hi there its my first post here and i need some help (sorry if im on the wrong board).
in march 2005 i was very weak spiritualy and began to read apostate litterature.
by one month i was wishing to quit the wts.
Genesis, when I first started researching the Dubs I threw my blood card out of my car window in a rage.. then searched for it with tears in my eyes the next day because I felt some strange illogical guilt. It's called cognitive dissonance from years of Witness conditioning. It goes away but it takes time and support. I'm here for ya. PM me if you want and keep posting.

I'm sorry to hear that Spazzy, take care of yourself.

i was actually baptized in my early 20's, so i spent some time as a teen and early twenties doing things that were not witness-like.
one of those things was sex out of marriage and to be honest, i have no regrets.
i have wondered though sometimes, where is that person i shared such a landmark moment with in life.
Yeah I do, I'm still friends with her and we chat occasionally.

We love ya WLG.. sorry for your loss man.

does anyone remember when the picture of the married couple was changed in the live forever book?.
it was the chapter on marriage, and there was this one picture of a hottie basically posing in a provocative picture on the bed, hair askew, beckoning her husband to join her.
she was going to render her due.
I'd like to "render" some of that shit.. hot!
