And here I was all excited about getting a 96 Nissan Sentra
*green with envy*
Congrats to you !
after 13 years with the same car, at the beginning the week i became the proud owner of a 2002 chrysler pt cruiser!
she is the most beautiful car i've ever owned............she's candy apple red, with leather seats that are heated, sun/moon roof, chrome wheels.
when i picked her up from the dealer, i didn't even feel like i should own this car, as she is more gorgeous than i could ever imagine..........anyways, i had to share my deep thanks to the universe with y'all............i am deeply happy to have a reliable, warm, safe, but absolutely gorgeous, car to drive.........perhaps it's also partly because i will be 50 years old in august............another wonderful milestone in my life......... smooches,.

As did the Handmaids tale when I was older
That was an awesome book! I just read 1984 recently and am now reading "The Orwellian World of Jehovah's Witnesses". It's an interesting trip thru the beliefs I've left behind and the history of the org. with excellent tie in's to 1984.
"Dogma"
from north idaho...looking for others who have left.
i was born in blackfoot, so not as far north, but it's cool to see people from idaho on here.
my grandparents lived in st. anthony and rexburg. again, further south, but still...
Puck, you have a PM.
i was listening to a sarah mclachlan cd the other day and this song reminded me so much of how it must feel to be disfellowshipped.. "fallen".
heaven bend to take my hand.
and lead me through the fire.
I have plenty more, but don't wanna spam the thread with loads of song lyrics if nobody is interested. Lemme know and I'll share.

Here's the song I basically had on repeat while writing my letter to my parents.
American Head Charge - "Loyalty"
It's just a reason to deny
All the limits that border
On the thinnest frailties
That makes a sudden change
I'll play my soul into sleep
I'll make up words that i keep
Letting nothing go to anyone at all
Where is your loyalty now?
When all the cards have been left one the table
All of them
Bleed at the nerves That take so long to wear down
I'll play my soul into sleep
I'll make up words that i keep
Letting nothing go to anyone at all
Where is your loyalty now?
When all the cards have been left one the table
This time I have made enough mistakes
For you to bear against me
Endure and break
Our original ideals
That let us down
And betray our trust
Like all your promises
I've seen the piece of sh*t alive in you
Cause I'm there enough to be here too

I've got a 4 Disc collection I sent my parents, it has some great music mostly selected for content and style :D
I can send you the list if you're interested. Lemm know.
i'm still somewhat hopeful my family will one day 'see the light'.
in your experience, did any of your family members finally understand your reason for leaving and communicate with you as a family member and not an apostate?.
.
After 10+ years of emotional yo-yoing and blackmail I have severed contact with mine. I sincerely hope that your family places more value on their relationship with you than mine have.
just sort of curious about this, i know it has probably been done a gazillion times but let me do it again.
1.do you believe in a personal god who takes interest in you as an individual?
2.do you believe that the bible was written by god?
1.Do you believe in a personal God who takes interest in you as an individual?
No (why would someone elses imaginary friend be interested in me?)
2.Do you believe that the Bible was written by God?
No, why should one believe that Christian mythology is any different than the other mythologies published through time?
3.Do you believe the Bible is error free and is always harmonious?
No
4.Why do you believe these things?
See above
ok, help me out people, what would you do if you knew that someone from your home had stolen money from you?
today i was going to go to the bank till i realized that i was missing 240.00, i know this money was in my purse because i put it there on wed night, i know i did not lose it because i have not touched my wallet in as long.
i also have not been out anywhere so i could not have misplaced the money.
