  sorry to be a copycat, but someone mentioned an apostafest and the subject got my full attention.

  i would also like to know if anyone here knows of any apostafest in the central florida area (daytona, cocoa beach, orlando, etc.).

  i've never heard of such a gathering, but i think it would be so cool to actually meet some of you guys.

Does anyone here live in the areas mentioned above and know of or would like to start setting up an Apostafest anywhere in the surrounding areas. I think it's time we met, don't you?

  What Freedoms Do You Enjoy Now That You're Not A Witness?

  by minimus in

  the watchtower scoffs at "apostates" because they want their "so-called freedom".

  not practicing this religion does give you a lot of freedom and normalcy.

  what freedoms do you cherish now?

  Let's not forget Masturbation and Oral Sex. At least that was tabooed years ago when I was a witness.

  It's the Watchtower that should be ashamed, for ruining lives and sowing the seeds of hate. This needs repeating. Shame on you--Watchtower. They deserve no respect what-so-ever.

  I have seen in my life that :"what you talk about and think about all day long just expands" While a JW, all they ever talked about was SIN and sin is what I and so many JWs kept falling into. When I left, I went wild because that's what I was told would happen, so for a few months that's exactly what happened--at least wild for me, but then-- that was enough. I then was able to take inventory and ask myself --"how do I really see myself--what do I really believe about myself" and found out that I became a better person without having to be forced or scared into it. I truly became morally, mentally, physically, and especially spiritually a much, much, super-much better person since.

  Tuesday,

  Do you have a comedy act somewhere. I surely would attend. I'm cracking up. How'd you come up with this stuff. No wonder you don't think Brenda's act was funny. You take it to a much higher level indeed. Can't see how you could possibly be offended with what she did after reading what you would try. Her stuff pales compared to yours by a long shot.. WOWOOEE. I'd pay big bugs to see your act. Enjoyed your comments. Laughed a lot.

  Enjoyed everybody's thoughts on this. It made me realize that although we all share a common bond as XJW's, we see and feel differently overall.

  Right on, Yea--so true so true-- and written so eliqulently too......Inbyathread.

  I say whatever it takes to relieve our minds and hearts of all the horror, torture and mind games they put us through while we were in their prison. Who cares what they feel about it, what they say or whatever--it's not about them anymore. You know why she did it---BECAUSE SHE CAN.

  Don't know the name. What did you think of the video? What were some of the reasons for it being a mistake. It's something I've wanted to do but never had the guts.

  I had fun watching this video. Brenda, who wrote the book, "Out of the Cocoon." does the unthinkable-- an apostate partaking of the bread and wine at the memorial. Oh Me---Oh My. You gotta see it. Peace and Joy to everyone.

  I left and never went back but I have thought, on many occasion, that it might be fun to relive a moment of my youth and go back on a Memorial and remember. I always felt that as the human race in general evolves and with so many now on many high spiritual paths, it has to have an effect on the brain washing of the JW. I have faith that many will start to awaken. The JW beliefs are going to seem more and more archaic to anyone with half a brain.. Don't you think? I think back what I used to believe and just laugh. Paradise earth and rebulding work with only JW as the ones in favor of God. It doesn't get any more naive, People have to start seeing it for what it truly is just as we have. Thanks for sharing about the Memorial.
