  Did you ever really believe that god wanted you to shun people?

  i think at one point i did.

  looking back i can't see why i thought like that.

  i always had doubts about it but you would hear the old 'gods loving dicipline' line.

Then I realised that it really was a crock of pish. Dicipline that is not comensurate with the 'crime'. How could I have been manipulated to act in such a terrible way? A way that is against the way I was brought up and against the way I really feel as a human? Now thats power.

  The Most Tasteless Awake Cover ?? - Feb 8th 2003

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this magazine was disturbing to me at the time, but i lost track of it and only recently found it .

  this is exactly as it was printed, no photo shop, i am not that clever.. it is credited to a newsagency, jan banning , panos pictures - so i do believe that she was a real child prostitute .

  there is something that gets to me even now about this picture.

  The release of this article was significant for me. When this magazine came out I decided to stop reading some articles. This then lead me to analize what depressing, terrible material I was feeding my mind with as a JW. A route call also told me that she felt my depression could be because of reading such depressing material all the time. That clinched it for me. A really nice woman with concern for my mental state, saying it like it is. A year after she said that I left the org. I also realised that due to terrible things such as these happening, I has no belief in a god who allows it for ANY reason.

  the one that got me recently is the matter of elders being removed if they encourage college education in the cong.

  where in the scriptures?

  any others that spring to mind?

  Forbidden Pleasures ......

  by BobsGirl in

  this morning on the way to work, i burst into song.

  not just any song ... but the heretofore forbidden "star spangled banner".

  i just felt like singing and i wanted to sing something challenging and it seemed like the perfect choice.

  I like pulling on my colours, going to the pub & having a few laid back beers & then shouting on my footy team. A simple pleasure that takes me back to my childhood family activities which I unfortunately sacrificed under the guise of pleasing god. Watching my dad's hface as he realises that he has me back as a normal son is fairly good as well. Thinking for myself & expressing my opinions. Telling everyone that my children & my family come 1st in my life above EVERYTHING. I just love being me again.
