  as many of you know i will be meeting with the elders from my hall today.

  i had decided to come clean and just tell them that i don't believe in this anymore.

  however tonight i talked to one of my friends who is still a witness and i realized that there are a lot of people who would be very hurt if i got dfed, so i have made the choice to go into that meeting today and lie my ass off.

  On the what to wear thing...

  You're a depressed person, dont pretty yourself up too much, the worse you look, the worse you'll feel and the acting will come naturally!!

  Loooooooooonnnng skirt of course, baggy top. very flat shoes, no makeup, see, you're depressed already aren't you! In the role!

  The elders cannot handle women and 'emotions'. Just tell them you're so confused, you cry all the time, you might need to see the doctor, you just cant think about the meetings or bear to think about Armageddon (this might offset your comments about jehovah not caring)

  fingers crossed for you.

  Oooh, thinking about you, and in your position I would do exactly the same thing. There is no moral high ground in telling the truth, it merely plays into their hands.

  Tell them you are confused.. depressed, but of course you think the organisation has the truth!! How could you not!! Please be very careful to stay off any topics you might want to raise, 607, UN, child abuse... keep those lips zipped!

  if you can do this sucessfully you can have your cake and eat it. Not be a witness but hang on to your friends and family.

  Whichever way it goes, we're here for you with that worldly thing... true unconditional friendship!!

  Even after I mentioned she could be disfellowshipped if it was ever seen!

  Actually this isn't true. If you research the WT library, which I did BEFORE I got my first tattoo, it is a conscience matter. If she was a brother she might not have privileges, but as a sister she doesn't have any anyway! You cannot be disfellowshipped for having a tattoo, or body piercing.

  Below is the reference to the article I was thinking of, it clearly dissaproves, but just asks you to think about your decision.

  g03 Should I Get a Tattoo. The message? Think before you ink. Don’t make a decision that you may regret later

  Welcome mavie.. and mrs mavie

  I think most of us have been in your shoes, it's the tiny crack that leads you to this website and you cannot face the possibility that what you are reading is true.

  For me I ignored most of the posts when I first came here and concentrated on the ones that proved things from the bible. In time I began to see how wrong I had been.

  The thing that swung it for me? All the people here are prepared to back up and prove what they say, they dont slander, quote from people you dont know or cant find.

  I'm sorry you have been dealt with so shoddily by your congregation. Jesus said you would know his disciples because they had love amongst themselves, do you see that? Personally I've seen more in the local Catholic Church

  I think drunken poppy would have made a great elder. Look how quickly she came up with that list of salacious questions.

  Funny, I thought I would have made a great elder too!!! And I just love the salacious word... oooh.

  Definition:

  1. Appealing to or stimulating sexual desire; lascivious.
  2. Lustful; bawdy.

  Lascivious is a great word isn't it?? You see how theocratic education increases your vocabulary!

  Yes a full confession is necessary

  For the benefit of the dirty minded elders who haven't had any in weeks... I mean your everlasting life

  Tell us.. was it over or under the clothes? Did you touch or fondle? Was it accidental or deliberate,

  Did you do it again, have you prayed about it, how good did it feel, did you get off on it later on that evening?????

  I feel after a full confession your chair may stop pricking your consience which is clearly bothering you!

  kw is a bright young man who knows his way around computers and cult indoctination techniques.

  he is helping his mum and many others see the truth about the truth.

  he had a bad side though when it comes to sharing chocolate with desperate hungry relatives.. so what will you do when you meet kw at an apostate bbq?.

  he goes through this every few months.. even though he is a good man, he feels like he isnt doing what jehovah wants him to do, he gets angry sometimes n all that, im like , errra uhh, isnt that a normal human emotion, like jealousy.. he said they are not natural emotions or something like that...

  anyhoo.. we get into this discussion about crosses, he says that its a slap in the face to jesus to be "glorifying" his torture

  Isn't it funny how long people hang on to their beliefs after they dont go? I know people that have been Dfed for years and still think it's the truth and armageddon is coming.

  I was reading somewhere about cults and they were saying that the people that question a lot and dont care too much about conforming or belonging tend to get out easier, I think that was true of me. But I wish we could get through to people who have stopped going!

  Slowly but surely.

  Poppy!
