Dookie was in my walkman non stop back in the day. Have the new album as well but it doesn't really grab me. ~ 3 songs I like, the rest I could leave behind.

do you feel that you are still bitter towards jw's?
or do you feel that you are better off without them?
maybe you feel both bitter and better?.
Do you feel that you are still bitter towards JW's? Or do you feel that you are better off without them? Or better then them to begin with? Maybe you feel both bitter and better?
I used to feel very bitter about the way that I had been treated by them, but in the past year or so I have let go of the bitterness that I used to have. I don't really feel that I am better then anyone but I do feel that I am much better off.
I know that in order for me to start healing and move on as a person that I had to release all those bitter feelings so that they would stop eating me up inside. I think that bitterness can stunt our growth into healthly, functioning members of society.
But that is just my opinion and where I'm at in my own personal development. How about everyone else?

the wts likes to claim that there is no real life outside the borg and those leaving it, that is leaving jehovah, to re enter -gasp- satan's world are unlikely to find any satisfaction or success in life.
yet many ex jws have done much better after leaving the borg in terms of family life, social life, job wise, financially, and educationally, spiritually, and overall adjusted to a much more natural and fulfilling life style.
do you know of such ex jw success stories personal and/or those of others?
Lets see now...... since leaving I have gotten warmly welcomed into my partner's family, where there is no judgement, only support and love shown. I have a career that I love and am successful at. I've gone to school and am currently working on an additional degree. I no longer suffer from depression, eating disorders or panic attacks. I'm still working on the social skills but they are getting much better. I don't consider myself religious but I am spiritual.
I am at peace.

dumb-dumb the cat has become the neighborhood sweetheart.
it is common to see little neighborhood children and adults alike stoop to pet him in passing.
he often makes the rounds in the evenings, going from door to door in the complex and saying hello through any open doors.
Cute kid!
Pets make our lives so much fuller don't they?

ps just a note to say that patty and i had dinner with willy loman and his wife when they came to new york; we had a wonderful time......and willy has some great news to announce and share with the forum...
The Rapture of Canaan by Sheri Reynolds was very good. Tells the story of a young girl growing up within her Grandfathers tightly controlled religoud compound.
most persons, imo, are pressured to get baptized.
they are told they "should be ready".
children are made to feel that jehovah will not protect them any longer at a certain age.
Yes I was, regret set in as I was still dripping wet. I would never have made the decision on my own.
