<< part vi.
part vii not the end or the beginning.
as mentioned previously i was starting to travel more frequently to the us on business, specifically los angeles.
Very good mate.
Really enjoyed your story. I hope to do the same myself one day but at the moment I would struggle to write a coherant, logically developed peice as my mind gets filled with so much stuff as I begin to write.
But your story was facinating & also heartbreaking too.
The similarities in the way people are viewed/treated by JW's is alarming, predictable but also awful.

i don't have many in my physical sphere.
but the ones i have are good ones.
of course we share no 'history', since i never had a 'worldly' friend until i left at 48.. in my cyberworld [and some would argue the credence of that] i have found many fine souls with which to commiserate, share, grow.
I have always been naturally outgoing and made a number of friends when I was a JW.
Toward the end though, I became disillusioned with most of my JW friendships apart from a few which I still have to this day.
The thing I hated was having to be in peoples company. People that I really didn't like. Nasty people. Selfish people. Weird people. I absolutely hated being forced to spend time with them at meetings etc.
Now, I size people up & make my choices regarding friendships. I spent 10 years of my life surrounded by assholes & feeling depressed because of it.
Life is too short to be surrounded by assholes.
I like my friendships now. Worldly people are loving & kind & give you pretty much unconditional love.
A witness wouldn't give you the steam of their pish unless it somehow benefited them.
Life is good now.

What about all the little mice? A peice of cheese was consumed signifying mousy disobedience so now all the little mouses die?
I want answers!
probably been posted before, but thought i'd scan it in and post it anyway.
left the book edges in the scan to show it came from the volumes and is an authentic scan.. .
So who was pulling whos pisser then?
Jehovah? Jesus? The FDS? The overzealous rank & file?
I'm confused.
minimus had a great thread recently asking if any who were witnesses felt guilt as a jehovah's witness.
thought i would build on that a little dealing with how you have moved on after being a jehovah's witness ?.
one definition of guilt in the american heritage dictionary is : " self-reproach for supposed inadequacy or wrongdoing ".
One of the things that got to me when I was a JW was the constant feeling of guilt over this thought or that word I said or what I wasn't accomplishing etc, etc.
When I left 3 years ago I was determined not to feel guilt. Guilt is only a good thing for people to feel who are doing bad, bad shit.
I have felt no guilt about leaving the religion behind, nor have I felt any guilt for my current lifestyle which I enjoy very much & which does no harm to anyone.
the time left always seems to be reduced but it never runs out.. here is the program for the 2010 special assembly day.
the time left is reduced.
(1 corinthians 7:29).
Do they not get embarrassed about the whole time thing?
does this ever cross the mind of your average jw?.
can you even begin to imagine what that would look like or even smell like?.
what about the effect of these scenes on the mind of children, even adults?.

It seems to me that jehovahs witnesses either have a hideous lust for destruction or they just bury their head in the sand regarding the actual logistics of an earthwide holocaust.
Fools.
whenever i have mentioned this practise to people who don't know much about the witnesses (although they should know about them due to the worldwide preaching activity .
to most right thinking people it is absolutely just not an option to have no contact with your immediate family.. one lady said to me "i'd rather rip my heart out".. what has been your experience when people find out that jw's carry out this evil practise?.
Whenever I have mentioned this practise to people who don't know much about the witnesses (although they should know about them due to the worldwide preaching activity ), most people are absolutely horrified. In all honesty their reaction makes me feel embarrassed that I ever accepted this religion into my life.

this is from a while back but i just wondered if anyone knew julia dawes or that she and her parents were jehovah's witnesses.
I knew they were witnesses. Rich family.
Very sad.
