hibie, I have to disagree with your assessment of mrsjones being 'sick and troubled'. I have learned more about her personality and values than I have about yours hibie. You hide who you truly are. Why is that? The very first time I think I'm about to find out something real about you is when you and defd decide to get a rise out of the board by saying you're married. What's up with that bs? Mrsj on the other hand is very open and honest about herself and her family, and as you can see, her comments are enjoyed and appreciated by many people here on this board including myself. You remind me of the witnesses with your arrogance, judgemental and demeaning remarks. Like you, they don't reveal their true selves to those they call 'friends' but rather put on an air of piety and superiority. I really don't know why you come here.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( mrsjones )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) YOU ARE APPRECIATED!

My Journey

by Andrea Wideman in

my journey to find a religion i could believe in wholeheartedly started as a young adult.

i was raised as a catholic but couldn't say for certain that i believed all that i was taught..

i had a mother who was a catholic and a father who was a divorced protestant.

Welcome to the board Andrea! Liberating oneself from controlling religions is essential to family happiness IMHO. Congratulations on your spiritual awakening. All it takes to be close to God is to open the door for oneself by means of prayer. The rest is subjective.

The Book Signing that ended in a JC Meeting...

by jesussaves in

hey y'all,.

i posted a few months back that my first novel, "what a sista should do" had been published and is now available in stores.

my very first booksigning was in june at a well known bookstore in our area.

Tiffany; Congratulations on your book's success so far. Happines & Success are the greatest revenge against those wacked out cult leaders and their followers.

Most grandparents would've been so proud that their granddaughter was having a booksigning that they'd have everybody and their mamma up in that bookstore. It's unfortunate that a cult can rob people of all natural feeling. It's so sad that most JW's are missing out on genuine and unconditional familial love due to misplaced loyalty to a loveless corporation that will drop them like a bad habit in a New York Bethel JC minute if there's even a hint of disloyalty or doubt .

Keep on using your talent and creativity to let your light shine in this world. I'm going to go out and buy your book. I believe in supporting the arts and artists in any way I can and I'm looking forward to reading your work.

actually married.

why hide it.

yall were beginning to figure it out anyway.

sweet tee

Well ... this certainly was: at first, disgusting and disappointing, then, even more disgusting and disappointing, then Hibie got real ... her real ugly acting so-called Xtian self, defd bailed and left hibie to feel the fire. I feel a kinship for dfed because of our common JW background and I understand what it is to be misled. But I don't understand why hibie comes here. I wish she would stick to the Xtian fundie sites instead of infringing on our enjoyment of freemdom from judgemental bs.

jw

Because I don't need a bunch of hypocritical a**holes telling me how to run my life.

I Am Sick Of Going To Kid's B-Days !!

by Jeannine in

the thread started on "an invitation to a wedding" with all its talk on manners got me thinking...... is there any other childless person out there that is tired of being invited to the birthday parties of friend's children?

i am childless by choice.

i have a large family with many kids, visiting me, making a huge mess of my house, bugging me for money to go to the store, waiting for me to drop off their gifts every year, playing pranks on me (i'll get those little suckers back), walking around with my shoes on, peeing in my bed, etc.

sweet tee

I haven't read all the replies but I'm going to throw my .02 in: The reason that adults are invited to birthday parties is because if you only invite children then you may not get any gifts! That's been my experience post-witless.

When I was growing up in my non-dub household we only had a few b'day parties IN OUR LIFE! No way were you having a party every year - oh NO! So that's the first thing. Second: When I had my last party all my friends showed up without presents for me. According to my mother "I bet they won't be over here next year eating up all my d**n food and didn't even bring my baby a gift .

My Escape

by Joel Wideman in

my mother was roman catholic and, it turns out, mentally ill. she was rushed into marriage when my father got her pregnant with me.

he was also catholic, a sailor, and an alcoholic.. .

when my father was going to be sent to vietnam, my mother threatened to kill me and herself.

sweet tee

Welcome to the forum Joel and thank you so much for sharing your story with us.

I think one of the greatest tragedies of being a witless is not rearing your children properly. It sets them up for extreme difficulties in REAL life (remember being told to get a firm hold on the 'real life' - they haven't got a clue!). My eldest son, the one whom I attempted to indoctrinate (the GB refered to it as in-cul(t)-cate ... hmmm) until he was 14 and I fell away is having the hardest time adjusting to being a young adult. I wanted to push him out of the nest at 21 but I realize that he's not ready and it's partly my fault.

Anyway man, I'm glad you're here and free!!!!
