  i am completely surprised by the amount of posts over the last couple of weeks of people (lurkers) signing up to the board and introducing themselves.

  most still part of the jw cult, but thinking for themselves and wanting real answers.

  i?m still a newbie to the board so i would like to know if this is common.

  Bikerchic,
  Thank you, I never thought this post would give me something special. I?m not ?love bombing? / ?group hugging? or anything when I say that, but here is a list I can identify with. It?s a shame I won?t have the pleasure of conversing with Jan.
  The most poignant item for me is ?you have so much time on your hands now?
  OVERWHELMING.

  I left the cult about 10 years ago. GIRLS what can you do eh? (a lovely little cutie, outside the cult, pulled my heart while I dragged my ?faith heels?).
  Only now am I dealing with the emotional/spiritual/life/whaterthefuckyouwanttocallit scars left behind.
  

  Coming to the board has been so overwhelmingly correct for me (I now that sounds strange but I don?t have the English major to elucidate my feelings (yeh, elucidate dam it! Thank you Word thesaurus)) to communicate with people that have gone through the same torturous shit I went though, and it has made a difference. Who?a thought other people had the same life I did!
  Dave I sent you a PM once explaining where I am that went something like this:
  I?m currently meeting my demons of old, saying hello, shaking their hand, and telling them to [edit] off.
  I think I?m currently at the kicking puppies stage. I am very angry after understanding what this whole shit is all about. Who the real WTBTS are.

  Being out of cult for so long you?d think I wouldn?t care any more. But, in those ten years out I never addressed the root of some of my fundamental behaviors. I?m not saying I?m psycho or anything; I?m talking about day to day living, or rather day to day fears.
  So, to round up, I?m surprised of the amount of newbies, and welcome the experiences of you old hacks.

  Steve.

  i just got my hands on a copy of my book of bible stories ... (1978).

  at first i was excited when a friend pulled it out of his bag, said he'd gotten it as a kid.

  then i started flipping through, looking at the pictures, feeling the memories spin in my brain.

  :Then, it goes on to say "The demons like it when a boy and a girl play with each other's penis or vulva. We don't want to the make the demons happy, do we?---

  
  what pisses me off is the following paragraph:
  There is something else that the demons like but Jehovah hates. Do you know what it is?- Violence.

  Those f**king Son?s o Bitches ? sorry about the language Simon, but this type of crap makes me so angry I could kick a puppy!
  To associate violence ? which is THE worst form of human behavior -with the joys of sex is going to screw up kid?s minds. It is completely inappropriate and, to me, typical words of old, bitter men.

  PS. I?m kidding about the puppy thing - (stroking puppy, in the style of Donald Pleasence playing Blofeld.)

  Another "ghostly" experience last night!

  ok, if any of you have read the other thread about ghosts, you will remember that i dont care too much for them!

  just a few minutes ago my daugter told me she had a weird one last night here in the house, where i have never had a problem.

  she was in the bathroom brushing her teeth, and "one "of the holders on the counter that are all made of heavy glass, started shaking back and forth like crazy.

  All our radio's are set to Radio 4 (please do not groan you brits on the board!).

  I miss the Today programme

  cindykp, I like the water under the cup idea, the other day a large pan started flotting across my kitchen top. Looked very spooky, but it was just floating on a very fine film of water.

  Cnn- Muslim clerics in Spain issued what they called the world's first fatwa, or Islamic edict, against Osama bin Laden on Thursday, the first anniversary of the Madrid train bombings, calling him an apostate and urging others of their faith to denounce the al Qaeda leader

  They called him an apostate! Talk about being tared with the same brush!! - no fair
