  LOL! How 'bout those Musketeers?

  Oh and nothing new about that "slogan" my friend.

  Anyway, take it for what it's worth to you, that is the beauty of "Truth" vs Perspective.

  Bright Blessings,

  There really is not much more to add. All else is perspective. I believe that is the single point of reality, though, if pressed that All is One. And the One is in All.

  How about those Yearbook experiences?

  by Frequent_Fader_Miles in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  looking back, i realize that the jw yearbook was about the only thing i looked forward to.

  i would usually read it in it's entirety.

  when i became older and wiser, the information in the yearbook seemed so .... well, shady.

  Aaaah yes, the yearbooks. Loved those and ate up the stories about the sisters in Africa (insert 3rd world country here) with the two club feet, 8 children under the age of 5, an unbelieving mate who beat her, who faithfully pioneered and never missed a meeting though she crawled through alligator infested swamps five miles to get there--NOW WHY CAN'T YOU DO MORE?!?!?! LOL!

  Thanks for reminding me!

  2. friends

  didn't know if this has been addressed before , but it's kinda interesting.

  when we were witnesses we were always told,oh!

  don't look at horoscopes or read anything about your sign because it's demonized !

  Has anyone found dating as an EX JW difficult?

  by sweetstuff in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  just curious as to what difficulties have faced people dating as an ex jw.

  myself, i have noticed the glazed over look in a guy's eyes when you try to explain why your family doesn't celebrate the holidays with you etc.

  new to this board, so if this has been well covered before, please forgive me.

  I used to find it difficult somewhat. I was living very far away from my JW family so it did not come up very often. I treated it like the deepest darkest secret. Tried to muddle through holidays and b-days like I knew what I was doing LOL!!! And tried to get them to realize it truly was NOT personal when I forgot a birthday.

  Now I'm involved very happily with an ex-jw. It's like sweet relief knowing I don't have to "hide" that kooky part of myself. That awkward-cuz-i-grew-up-in-a-cult part.

  Are You Happy With What you've discovered in Life After being a JW ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my life personally has taken a much more positive turn after leaving the religion.

  less stress to be having nights taken up with meetings droning on.

  lots more time for reading new things on life, hobbies, trips to take, i enjoy cooking for my wife.

  Quick answer: ABSOLUTELY!!! I sometimes liken myself to an immigrant who comes to a new, abundant country full of possibilities. The world is my canvas upon which to paint all of my unending potential. It's like I was born and raised in a coffin til the time I broke free. At least now I have choices.

  And now I can breathe.

  What's Nashville Exodus? Is this some spiritual/religious sojourn or just a personal tour? IN any case, I wish you safe yet "eventful" travels. May you be where you need to be...to meet whom you need to meet.

  Love and Light,
