  many years ago while driving with some jw friends in the car we stopped to get sodas.

  one of the jw's finishes her soda, opens the car door and tosses out the can.

  i was incredulous and said, "what are you doing?

  I have to say there is very little discussion that I ever recall if ever about doing our bit for the environment. They control every part of a witnesses life so how come its not encouraged to have cleaner cars and solar power or something? Its almost like if we do something about it we are not leaving it to Jehovah, and yet surely we all have a responsibility to look after this planet.

  My daughter had a word with me

  by cyberdyne systems 101 in

  2. friends

  i went to collect my two daughters last night and my eldest (8) wanted to have a private word with me.

  she took me upstairs to her room and said she didnt want me to get her birthday presents as she would be pleasing satan!

  although a little taken aback about the fear and attitude her mother and the wts are instilling in her, i simply asked her if it was her fault that i choose to celebrate the day of my daughters birth, like she has some control over people's gift giving?

  She took me upstairs to her room and said she didnt want me to get her Birthday presents as she would be pleasing Satan! Although a little taken aback about the fear and attitude her mother and the WTS are instilling in her, I simply asked her if it was her fault that I choose to celebrate the day of my daughters birth, like she has some control over people's gift giving? And would she go up to class mates and say dont send me an xmas card? I then said Jehovah doesn't condemn Birthdays its the WTS that does, and if she could show me in the Bible that it is forbidden i would gladly never celebrate it again.

  I dont like the fact that her mother and me have different views and it must be difficult for her to know which way to turn, but my feeling is to simply tell her the facts, not be slating the WTS but informing her of the alternatives, showing her that the Bible can say whatever the interpretor can make it say.

  dear all,.

  i thought i'd best make a new thread rather than add my message to the vigil thread, for example, as it might not otherwise get noticed.. yesterday afternoon i was allowed home from the hospital - but only until wednesday morning!

  as many of you will know, i have been in christie cancer hospital in manchester, england, ready to undergo a stem cell transplant (in my case, stem cells taken from my blood to be returned later).

  It really makes me sick, all that pressure put upon young people trying to fight off a natural urge. If you dont wed in the hall everyone knows something happened so you have to lie in order to get a kingdom hall wedding.

  Looking back I know the first part of my adult life was effected by the severe control and suggestion, and I married very young as a result of the immense pressure that I felt. Eventually my wife and I fessed up to it along with some other things we'd carried all those years, I know it affected our relationship, living with guilt - reinforced by constant propagander from meetings. Its great to be free of that feeling now.

  Just wanted to add a warm welcome!

  It is so hard when you seem to lose everything, but look at what you have gained too - you have become what you want to be, no longer in the shadow of your family, now able to choose what you want to do. What you face is something to replace what you no longer have, you have experienced a grieving as though someone has died to you, but time is a great healer. You have come here no doubt to try and understand whats happened to you. Before long your confidence will grow and you can make a new life with new friends who love you for you - not what they want you to be. It has the possibility of becoming your happiest time because you can find yourself and learn who you are, no longer do you need to nurture the guilt that you do when in the borg.

  Good luck in your new life, make it happen

  A wonderful person

  2. relationships

  i havn't posted for a little while having gone back into a lurking mode, for no other reason that i've not had any opinion or thought to post recently.. but i felt i wanted to do an update on a post i did about some valentine flowers i received.

  i discovered who this lady was and despite still having a lack of self worth (like thinking why would this beautiful woman be interested in me) i plucked up the courage to speak to her and we hit it off from the get go.

  she is such a gentle, warm and kind person - in fact it brings a tear to my eye just thinking about her lovely qualities.

  But I felt I wanted to do an update on a post I did about some Valentine flowers I received. I discovered who this lady was and despite still having a lack of self worth (like thinking why would this beautiful woman be interested in me) I plucked up the courage to speak to her and we hit it off from the get go. She is such a gentle, warm and kind person - in fact it brings a tear to my eye just thinking about her lovely qualities. We both have some baggage that we carry with us into a new relationship so right from the start we wern't afraid to say and discuss any potential issue's, this culminating in my admiting my lack of confidence and my past experience as a JW and then life after walking away from it and how it affected me. Although I deffinately feel a have turned a significant corner about that part of my life recently, I still tend towards a slight negative view of myself. Part of me wonders if some of that has to do with a lack of a close mate that I can pour my heart out to and have a bit of a 'pep' talk with, but in any case this wonderful person I have met has been like a refreshing tonic, I feel an incredible boost by having her around me and I know it has awakened in me a desire to give of myself in order to meet her hopes and desires as she has me.

  So there you have it I just wanted to share my joy over this happening.

  Take care all

  UK & IRELAND MAP

  by ballistic in

  2. friends

  i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

  (and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

  anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.
