oh god, i dont miss having to be at those assemblies.... lol, i never really cared what the attendants said anyways
the infamous one
anyone else have the idea of making a high resolution scan of a lapel card so you can go to the assembly.
my mom got me one, (hehe) and i've scanned it in, now when i go i will have the one my mom gave me in front on my lapel holder on my jacket, with my real name on it so mom doesn't get suspicious.
then behind that one i will have my decoy one, with a fake name and other congregation name on it.

this past weekend, we met a new couple in our campground, and the conversation soon came 'round to the supernatural.
the lady said she has had quite a few supernatural experiences, and that she plays her own home-made version of the ouija board.
my husband was all excited and begged her to play .
id very much like to play with one.. i think it is mostly us speaking to our subconscious, we are hearing what we want to hear... feeling what we want to feel... but i would like to see what my subconscious has to say!!! i can understand how it would give you the heebie jeebies

i hope everyone is happy now.
the evil paris hilton is behind bars and society is safe.
for those of you who believe as i do that this is an unspeakable injustice, i ask that you join me in a hunger strike until paris is freed.
good!!!!
the infamous one(says it as simple as he can)
i reckon getting promoted in the "truth" means you are more likely to leave.. every mts and gilead class i have heard of have had people leave the truth.
is that just my opinion, or have you noticed that tooooo?.
mtsgrad.
i don't mecessarily believe that that is true. As much as they witnesses shoot themselves in their collective feet by promoting the more intelligent (sometimes), they also make sure that those promoted are also indoctrinated to the point that they would not dare question what they are told... that being said, this is not always true! intelligence breeds questioning... questioning breeds truth, and once questioning and truth arrive; realization that the "troof" is a lie!

what are some of the things that you miss about not being a jw any more ?
for myself i'd have to say it was the close relationships with the people there, some i don't miss at all, but some i really do miss, like the kids that i grew up with .
during my childhood.
i miss not having to make any decisions for myself... oh wait i dont mis that!!! i definitely dont miss the lies and false friends... i dont miss anything...
the infamous one
how does the society scripturally justify taking the ultra-harsh measure of disfellowshipping and shunning persons who merely enjoy smoking a few cigarettes a day?
in what way is mild smoking a gross sin that is deserving of such a harsh punishment?
how on earth does the society make the connection between the scriptural exhortation to 'cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit' (2 cor 7:1 & 2) to taking the extremely harsh measure of denying a smoker the right to any contact with their fellow congregation members, friends, and jw family?
disfellowshipping anyone is an outrage... thats my piece...

if he were an elder in your congregation, or a former friend or even a relative that is secretly posting here, would you out them?
yeah i think happiness would be my instinctive reaction... good for them for egtting out
the infamous one
i went out to see my sister and my mom... when i got back she said she was leaving... when i asked why, she said she was weirded out by my lack of trust.... i couldnt trust her,, so i hid things... its not her fault, its not like i was lying or anything, but i mean some shit, i just didnt tell her... i am so used to being called names, lectured and torn apart for being 100% honest, that now, i still am scared to let anyone completely in... now the best thing that ever happened to me is gone... she left and im not sure shes ever coming back... and iom not sure who to blame.. i mean its obviously my fault, but did the borg put a fear of trusting into my heart and soul?
i guess i cant blame anyone but myself... but at this point, im so torn and hurt that im not sure what to do... all i know is that what was finally having the semblance of family to me is now gone... the first time i was able to live with someone and love someone, albeiut with an ingrained sense of distrust, has disappeared, probably never to return..... .
this has broken me, i don't know what i will be doing with myself for the next couple of days... i feel almost dead inside... the infamous one.
