is it just a fashion accessory, or does it mean something to you ?.

Steven Unthank: What do we really know?
by SweetBabyCheezits ini'm gonna play the skeptic today on a topic that is painful for a lot of people on this forum.
my intent is not to stir anything up but to make sure facts are confirmed.
bear in mind, i'm sickened by the wt's role (and the heirarchy down to elders) in child molestation cover-ups.

I wonder how many of the writing committee at the WBTS have letters after their name? What about the legal team?

Well played jworld!
I wish I'd said more as you did when I had the opportunity. My father once asked me if I thought he'd been moral, what kind of question is that!? All I could manage was "I think you're religion has coloured your judgement, and led you to make some bad decisions". I too, thought that, that had upset him - didn't change anything though! Too late now though.

A Born ins challenge to develop a "post cult" personality.
by stuckinamovement ina born ins challenge to develop a post cult personality.. mentally leaving the organization can be traumatic for a number of reasons.
one of the biggest challenges for born-ins in finding their pre cult personality is that our entire personalities are based on the religion.
there is no such thing as a pre cult personality for us.

There's hope Siam! Honest!
Sure for a long time after the borg, I settled comfortably on being a bitter and twisted antireligious militant atheist, blaming my dub upbringing for all manner of ills (some justified I think) and being bitter at my family still 'inside' . It seems odd to me now, but I filled that void in life by being as 'antidub' as possible. Safe to say this made me miserable :o(
Soon after I took up a hobby and a sport... the friends and experiences I've had through this have enriched and moulded my little world. I'm now almost normal! I suppose my personality has been formed along the way.
You will always have hangups - I'm sure we all do. For example, I can get emotional even now at Christmas when I see my two little monkey's excited faces and I wonder, what Christmas would be like as a kid, you just can't get that magic back (IMHO)
Posting in here is great too! Or not... I'm more of a reader than poster, but I think it all helps!

I need your advice to reach my daughters!
by Cirkeline ini just spoke to my eldest daughter (i'll name her liv here) on the phone.
i am still shaking all over my body.
partly cause i'm scared to death, partly cause i feel there is a small hope.

Hi Cirkeline... I truly am sorry to hear about what you're going through.
I agree with Ding, I think you need to go slow. Too much too soon will put the barriers up.
It might be worth trying to act subordinate to your daughter, rather than attempting to give her information directly? Does she live close enough to have a bible study with you? You could perhaps say, you've got doubts and need some help; a family study might be just the thing? Perhaps then once your study is established, you could introduce some debate points "you are unclear\worried about", like the 1914, 1925, points etc... and ask her to help you make sense of it?
Whatever path you take, I hope it works - I expect many in this forum will have their fingers crossed for you.
Good luck

Personally I doubt I'll notice much difference after being reverted back to perfection.
I know this is a little off topic, but I always used to wonder when everyone got resurrected where would they appear? On top of the gravestone in a puff of smoke? Would they have to dig their way out from the ground? As a kid I remember going to a crematorium, that blew my mind!
