Weird dream.
by Anti-Christ ini had a weird dream last night, just wanted to share and see what you all thought.. i was at an assembly, a big one.
it was at the end and a i was getting up to sing, i so did not want to be there and i was trying to pretend that i was singing.
i look down at my song book and it's in french but i'm at an english assembly.

Wow! Wouldn't it be great if all the assemblies you ever went to ended in minutes and then just like that--you were grilling in your back yard!?!

Posting
by purplesofa inwhen i first came to this board, i was mesmerized at the knowledge.
people had ideas and thoughts and voiced them and did it quite well.. i was a witness, i hardly read more than a paragraph at a time.....stopped, answered a planned out question in the paragraph, highlighted and went on.. formulating my own thoughts was one thing, but getting them typed out was another.. i saw all sorts of opionions thrown out there, debates, bantering back and forth........i was impressed to say the least and yes, intimidated.. them there posters had some balls and i wanted some too.. i was careful not to post things too controversial as to not make waves........i got my feelings hurt alot, said i was never going to post again, went stomping off.
licked my wounds did some soul searching and came back.

Being here has truly been an education in listening and accepting and caring, and has helped me to come out of the JW mold of intolerance.
Great topic ps.

Missing friends
by purplesofa inover the years i have made many friends online that are jw's.
when my doubts were such with the organization that i was full on posting here, little by little i withdrew from my jw friends online and in person.
no explanation, i have not responded to emails over time, and just let those friendships die down.. out of respect.......i felt sneaky in my researching the organization and just was not sure where my thoughts and feelings were going to land.. today, i unblocked someone on my messenger to chat with them.

Just finished talking to an old JW friend....
by R.F. in....and it was all that i expected.. she and i were extremely close at one time, but we sort of lost touch with each other over a year or go or so, not getting to talk to each other much within that time frame.
she's a very hardcore pioneer as i once was.
i think that's why we got along so great.

Ick. Same pat answers from all of them. Funny, Satan has you and not her, they must be pals, otherwise how'd she know?
Sorry about your friend; but she's the one who's gone, not you.

Hi there!
by breakingfree ini have been coming to this site to read news and your stories for about a year now, but have never posted due to my mortal fear of somehow being found out... i have family in as most of you do, who are all very sincerely convinced that they are on the path of light.. i have never been happy with the beliefs, mainly the doublespeak on the status of women, the hypocrisy, the dramatisation of the smallest of matters, and the general guilt trip that was my life until i stumbled across some hard evidence that my suspicions about 'gods channel' were well founded.
unfortunately i am now addicted to turning over every piece of information i can find, there seems to be no end to the amount of $#*& below the surface.
i will probably remain in this state for awhile, hungrily devouring all the information that makes me feel validated for my stand against much of the mindless rubbish that has gone around me during my life as a jw.

Asinine JW comments
by 5thGeneration inmy sister said yesterday:.
"isn't it amazing how the watchtower and awake are so good that really we would only have to read them to know everything that's going on in the world!".

And she knows that what she read is "everything that's going on in the world" because they told her it is.
