  Yer joking....right ?

  Actually, No.. The people I've experienced on this site are much more "Normal" than any thing I've left behind.

  Hey there...

  Your story was all too familiar for me.. The feeling you described has hit me time and again, with such an overwhelming blow. I have an understanding mate as well, However it will never be the same as sharing with these friends on this site who have actually lived it. It still blows me away to consider the J.W. slang.. that is terribly hard to shake. It all gets better with time, and you realize you Aren't crazy. They were.

  Well, well, everyone..

  It will appease everyone to know that I HAVE BEEN on a Wittness cruise. SO have a couple of my brothers. It isn't set-up as a "singles" cruise.. But as you can imagine.. all of the teens (ALL under age drinking or gambling out at sea is A O.K.!) and the twenty & thirty somethings all start to conjure up a way to go.... When I was 17 I spent my entire summer cutting lawns, babysiting, and doing odd jobs for others so that I could save op the $700 and something in order to go on this 7night, 8 day cruise.. I went.. It was a site.. Instead of what you would think.. It was the Ultimate party. I remeber being caught by the Captain of the ship one night when I was making out with another boy that was a wittness, and thinking how glad I was thatit was a "worldly person" watching instead of another wittness that would run and tell.. Needless to say we gave him a show.. I really think this was the only real glimpse of life "out there" that alot of us were exposed to at the time.. So some went Buck-ass wild.. It was understandable.

  The cruises continued to be orchestrated for the next couple of years.. with growing popularity.. Also... the counseling, reproving and disfellowshipping of the wild defuncts continued. There was eventually an "Addressing the needs of the Congregation" tallk one Thursday Night admonishing Young Wittnesses to BEWARE of the risks involved... We STILL have some really great pics!..

  When I was young.. and so, so, innocent... I happened to confess quite a bit.. Kissing a boy.. (finally at age 15!) and making out with another boy... The Elder I fessed up to (a known cut-throat business man.. with a nasty drinking habit, and wife issues) The clincher was the amount of details he asked.. and the fact that instead of speaking to me at the hall, and with additional Elders, he had me to his house, in his living room, while his wife was away. Asking very detailed questions... AND Sillly Silly me.. I answered all of them... in Detail. He kept exusing himself from the room from time to time.. and now I can only get sick thinking about it. Now that I am older.. I cannot believe some of the "EldersMeetings" I was called into. And wittnessing grown men getting away with molesting girls, groping girls, and the like.. With never a REAL lawsuit or court getting involved.. It will make you sick.. I have since vowed to never expose my children to this. EVER!

  Anasazi...

  I am actually blown away by the audacity of your comments...I have just a few retorts to your unkindly uninvited solicitations...

  1. If you are such a "true" upright Christian and claim that the above posters comments are "freaky".. then why don't you heed the advice of your klan and abstain from sites such as these.. I'm sure you have heard that all of these "freaky ideas" and "apostate" viewpoints could drag your derrierre straight on out of the "Oh, SO, NOT the-Truth"! I simply cannot understand how you can perceive the above comments as a "problem"... When in fact, most every comment exuded a joyous tone.. Almost as if the poster was rejoicing! Fancy That.

  2. As for "buying that".. One day when you Awake! from the little bubble in which you think you thrive, Or better yet... Your bubble get burst, by some "well-meaning elder" Who chooses your child to prey on... You will think differently regarding the reasons while people as "steadfast as yourself" have fallen out of THAT world of Lies... Atleast 40% of all of the female friends I had growing up... were either molested.. groped or abused by a wittness... Sometimes thier family's closest friends. When you make comments such as accusing Walter of "causing it"... You are certainly way out of your leaugue.. I can speak fo myself.. as well as many others when I say we have all been there.. As you feel you are.. And we all would react the way you have.. and maybe some of us did. But perhaps you should not be so haughty.. Quoting Scriptures.. relating people on this site to Esau... How very... very.. sad...

  3. As for your "bite me" remark to Walter.. Now really.. Is this Christian? Whatever happened to turning the other cheek? The hypocrsy continues to run rampant!. (Reason #351) to NOT be a J.W.

  Remember this: One day.. you will figure it all out. And you will remeber this post... And you will realize that all ex-J.W.'s aren't always bad people.. they are usually the upright ones that could'nt stand it any longer... They asked thier hearts & minds many a question.. and thier hearts and minds disovered the truth... Sadly.. not what your in.

  Dear LHG...

  A few years ago.. I left the "organization" as well as my husband... In the process, I lost every friend I had ever had... I was raised in the religion, and did have very good friends. I miss them, as well as my family terribly. I have routinely been dissapointed and deeply hurt by these "friends" and am amazed at how nomatter what we had all been through.. Needless to say, after 25 years.. (quite alot!) They all have turned theyre back on me.. And although I was expecting and prepared for that, It still hurts.. I miss everyone.. Jason, Jolynn, Missy, Laura, and Exspecially my Best friend Kara.. I think about trying to contact them, but am petrified.. knowing how I was taught.. AND how they are taught.. Sometimes I worry, that they think I left them high and dry.. As you feel your friend may have.. But please don't take it personally.. Because I left my husband, the religion, etc. and however much I would like to contact my old friends.. I still am D.F'd.. SO I don't. I don't want to disrespect them.. and They are no different from how I was. They SIMPLY just dont realize it. That's all. I am sure your friend probably misses you too.

  It has been really hard trying to make new friends.. trying to trust again..

  Sorry that you have had this bad experience.
