as witnesses, we were admonished to never look at horoscopes because they are demonic.
many jw's that i knew of would not even look at a fortune cookie because they could be "demonized".
i read my gemini everyday.

I don't check my horoscope everyday, but once in a while.

okay, i've chatted with several of you and i thought it was time to tell my story.
it all began during the gulf war early in january 1991. i was concerned about the war becoming the end of the world and naturally, because of my lifestyle, i began asking myself what i intended to do with my life.
a pioneer sister worked in the office where i worked, i knew she was a witness and studied the bible so i asked her opinion on what was happening.

i changed my question to this: .
what nice biblical name would you give your child, and what was the ugliest biblical name you ever heard a witness give to his child?edited by - jh on 18 january 2003 12:3:36.
I don't have kids yet, but I have always liked the name Isaiah. Do you think I should change my dog's name??

my husband does not understand what my attraction is to this board.
i come and go on the boards, i'm not a regular by any means, but i find that the boards are a catharsis for me.
my hubby was never in the borg, and he doesn't understand how talking about it, and comparing experiences, and poking fun at the craziness of it all, can interest me.
HI and welcome!
I am in the exact same position...I spend alot of time here as well(anyone can attest to that)! My hubby has no clue of religion not just the JW's so when I'm mad or upset about something...he has no clue. That can be so irritating, so I take advantage & vent here and it helps.. I don't think he's overly annoyed with me coming here, just I spend wayy to much time in chat LOL
well welcome and drop by to chat or you can email me privately if you would like to vent as well
Take care,
Dottie

hey hows everyone doing... i am a resident of edmonton in canada, and i am only 16 years old, i just left the jw religion.
i just knew it wasnt in my heart, my parents dont care but i told them that i dont want to go to any meeting or talk to any of our old friends.. they still dont know why..but i fell like it was to much of a currupted situation..i felt like i was taking orders from man, not from god.
i was not baptized yet, but i was going strong in the ministry as a unbaptized publisher.
Hi & welcome Rocker
I also live in Edmonton, but have been out for 12 yrs. I left when I was around your age as well (boy that makes me sound really old!)
Anyway you will find lots of support and encouragement from everyone here.
Feel free to drop into chat, or you can email me privately to vent if you like.

i have been with the board now for a few months now, mostly lurking and posting occaisionally and i love the support and even the opposition that everyone has shown here.
i know that most newbies do post their "story", and even tho i'm not technically a newbie here anymore, i would like you all that i meet in chat & on the board to know a bit more about me and my jw background.
this could be a long post but thanks for taking the time to read it !
Thanks all so much for your kind words.
You have all helped me become much braver than I ever thought I could be!
Much love to you all

ugg : Thanks for the hugs...They are always appreciated
onacruse : My self esteem has grown immensely & I think that has a lot to do with just knowing that I'm not the only one out there
