  I can understand that you would feel discouraged. I hope it's an isolated incident. My thoughts will be with you.

  Of Mice and Men

  i believe we'll be seeing more and more evidence of evolution as our science and technology gets better.

  i have to admit, though, it's pretty weird admitting that you come from the same common ancestor as the common mouse.

  i have never been on a forum before.

  i was very happy to find this one while i was doing my research finding out the truth about the religion & just trying to heal from such a damaging religion.

  i was raised in it from birth by a devout witness mother.

  The jdubs say you should hate what it bad. the bOrg is a bad organization; therefore, one should hate it.

  I believe anger is a natural emotion. Hatred is anger. Hatred is OK.

  Pain

  notice lately the threads discussing pain?

  viv, dave, joelbear.... .

  we all come from different walks of life, some of us have had things easier than others on a personal level, and yet we share a common bond.

  Pain is familiar to all of us. Might as well learn to embrace it.

  Wow, I agree with this statement. Your're one smart person! Pain is a part of everyone of us. It's very sad that we're taught from day one to hate a part of ourselves. Only if we embrace all parts of ourselves, even the uncomfortable feelings, can we be whole.

  it's OK with Jehovah so he needs to lighten up!

  I don't think this professor would ever lighten up. The sad thing is I'll probably have her for one of the classes I have to take for my masters degree.

  NEW TO YOU ALL...MY STORY

  by rebuilding94 in

  2. experiences

  i was born into the witnesses in 1962, i was disfellowshiped when i was 18, because i decided to marry a catholic.

  our first son was born 4 years later, and thinking i had to teach our son about god, which in it self is not a bad thought, so the only thing i new was the jw's teaching's, and yes i went back.. it took them 11 months to decide weather they would reinstate me, 11 month's of no one talking to me, no one coming to see my new baby, allways leaving befor the meeting was completely over, so as not to feel any more hurt then nessecary.

  after i was reinstated i proceeded to raise our 3 children as jw's.

  Welcome to the board.

  I TELL THEM THAT I COULD LOOSE IT ALL, AND I WOULD NEVER GO BACK, FOR I KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT JW'S, HOW COULD I GO BACK AFTER KNOWING WHAT I DO???

  It's much better to do without one's family, even though it's very dificult, than to be a part of such an evil organization.
