  If you asked a person from a third world country, they would see us as the undeserving rich just because of where we were born.

  Kinda relative really.

  And I think the undeserving rich in our lands couldn't give a rat's arse what we think! LOL

  Why do you ask?

  Is it out of love and compassion for lost souls?

  Why do you care?

  Since leaving the jws, I continue to work on not judging others choices (unless it directly affects me). I don't have any interest in your choice of religion, why do you overlay your belief system on me?

  you are told that if you "go back to the vomit" of the world, you will be miserable.. is your life better or worse since you've removed yourself from the organization's hold?.

  I was talking to my niece just yesterday. We haven't seen each other for a while, as she has been living overseas for 10 years. We hadn't talked much previous about our jw experience. She told me she spent her young life avoiding her crazy stepmother (jw) and avoiding the bullying kids at school.

  She said that after leaving, she always defended the witnesses but now (she said this reticently) she believes it's a cult..

  NO KIDDING!! Was my reaction. She was shocked at how well I looked and she at 41 looks 27..

  Are our lives better?? Wotduyarekon?!

  No natural affection? Jehovahs Witnesses fulfill this scripture

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  anyone who can turn their back on their flesh & blood sons and daughters, mothers and fathers fulfill this prophecy perfectly.. people who do this are utterly unloving & cruel.

  it has lead thousands of people to feel issolated, alone & in many cases suicidal.

  how can such a thing originate with god?.

  Funny thing, I found out yesterday that the elder who hounded me after leaving the jws (trying to disfellowship me) has been in and out of a mental hospital for years. It got me thinking about the elders I remember. There were only one or two that didn't show signs of mental illness or at least personality disorder.

  So, a large part of my family won't speak to me because of the decisions of unstable individuals...

  Yep

  Had an elder try to "counsel" (read insult) me in front of my then wife and in my home. I told him to watch his mouth and yes he knew I was about to punch him right where the insult came from. We had a mutual, long standing dislike for one another.

  He left. Ahhh, the memories......

  Villabolo

  It blanketed all in its path. The goverment has lifted water restrictions, so all can be cleaned. Windscreens seem OK but yep, it got into my late model car, despite being completely closed up. You can imagine how people's sinuses are reacting!

  Anyone interested in the dust storm? It hit here yesterday and lights went blue I would imagine from the dust filtering the sun light. Visibility a couple of hundred metres and it got everywhere. All gone now, just like doomsayers...

  For me, I just sit in the fear. Call it meditation if you like. Go through the worst scenarios one by one.

  Slowly the layers peel back and I come to a space of it's OK. Actually it's just perfect.

  And yes, life threatening stuff (etc) takes a few sittings! LOL
