  last monday my husband, a nice guy, after ranting for a bit about terrorists, came over to me, to kiss me i thought.

  he hit my head and then started to choke me, shouting "be healed.

  " i managed to get away from him and he kept yelling "be healed" and saying that i was bewitched and had put a curse on him.

  I am glad to hear you plan on moving and are protecting yourself. If there is a medical reason, the doctors are no doubt searching for it and monitoring him. You however, MUST put your safety and mental health as priority one right now (imho). It is good to hear you are feeling better and less shaky. It sounds like you've had a rough life in your youth dealing with these issues and are sticking to the promise you made to yourself those many years ago. Your life is precious and valuable (sp?). Like you said, one day at a time, baby steps will get you where you need to be! I am happy to hear you have friends who are there for you, that will make this road much easier to travel. ((((Hortensia)))).

  moving away

  by endlosung in

  2. experiences

  i am new here so hi to all.. i was raised in the cult, i call it a cult because it fits.. i am selling my home and moving away because they keep coming to my home to try to get me to say i do not agree with the society, by doing this they will have all they need to df me.. my wife wants me to just send a letter of disassociation, i see her point but i do not want them to be able to say what they want to so bad, [we had a bad person in our midst and we took action to get rid of him].

  i would rather be left in good standing and keep the thorn in their side.. my wife and my self have not gone to meetings for 10 years now.

  both our families are witnesses,and they do not have anything to do with us for the most part, her mother and father will talk to her if she comes around but it all has to be on their terms.

  Hello and welcome! Hope you like it in the south as much as we do! The weather is great and summer is already here (at least it seems that way!). I don't know where you are headed, but here in Georgia the pollen count is super high, so bring your allergy medication and some sandals and enjoy the warmth of the sun and the discussion board!

  I never saw the doughnuts! We must have arrived too late for them. I do remember working making the burritos as a teenager! It was so much fun to get out of sitting in the auditorium and mingle with other teenage friends from other halls while we got to talk while we worked!

  Juni: The pudding wasn't always frozen. But I guess the few times I did get them frozen while suffering in that AWFUL heat and humidity (no airconditioning for us!) it really made an impression! LOL

  Yea!

  You're showing him how unconditional your love is! Even though you may not be tied to him by blood, he now knows your heart is tied to him! He will no doubt be very touched by your love and concern! Have a great time!

  my field trip to Bethel

  by themonster123 in

  a few years ago, when i was an active witness, i went all the way from california to the east coast for vacation to visit my witness friend.

  her family took me to bethel (one of the many things we did)...seriously, what was the big deal i've been hearing about my whole life how ," oh bethel is so great!

  " when i finally saw it when i was 18, it was like walking through a building with a bunch of walls with pictures of paradise on the walls and watching random people do printing press stuff.

  1st trip to Bethel: Starry-eyed young girl. (Canada branch)

  2nd trip to Bethel: Starry-eyed 19 year old searching for "Mr. Spiritual" and hoping to find him amongst friends that were working (enslaved) at New York Bethel.

  3rd trip to Bethel: Engaged and on bus tour with fiance. Skipped the tours and went around city by ourselves! Lots of fun kissing in back of the taxi cab, walking the Brooklyn Bridge and going to the top of the Empire State Building! New York can be fun if you avoid the Bethel tours!!!!

  Hubby and I got on the topic last night. He was wondering what I was eating- a frozen jello pudding cup. I remember getting them at the assemblies, especially the hot summer district assemblies. If you got there early enough for breakfast, you could get a frozen pudding, frozen orange juice, cheese or apple danish---just to name a few.

  For some reason, I still LOVE frozen pudding. We started reminscing about our favorites. As a kid, the danish, pudding and the Sunday afternoon drama were your main attractions!

  Hubby loved the burritos at the circuit assembly. He even remembers them making doughnuts and french fries! I do not remember those. I know the food wasn't grand or gourmet, but it's amazing how after all these years, it's the only place I ever had frozen pudding and that I still love it. Hubby misses the cheese danish with the frosting on top, they were his favorites. Anybody else have anything they especially remember?

  This always bothered me too. I know the bible shows Satan is powerful, but this always seemed to give him glory to me. I could never believe that. This is another tangled web I am trying to unweave in my mind.

  How did you dispose of your JW books? (Or did you?)

  by exwitless in

  2. bible

  little drummer boy and i have a small house and we do not have room for the wasted space all of these books are creating.

  here's a brief rundown of what we have:.

  several nwt hardcover bibles, chinese bibles (lots of chinese students in our town), insight on the scriptures, concordances, a few bound volumes, song books, km books, reasoning books, the entire bible on audio tape, and more.

  We just cleaned out garage yesterday and found some still packed up from our move. We tossed the studied ones, but the ones like new I am thinking of putting on ebay. They are the ones I saved so our daughter could start her own "theocratic library". YIKES!!!! Now I am just saving a few that will show the kids the changes in doctorine over the years that greatly affected us. I am going to box up the "Paradise" book for sure, generation change compared to what I was taught to believe whole heartedly. I just want to keep a few on hand, almost all of our family are witnesses and I am sure they will try someday to sway the children. I am going to use them as ammunition along with the cards and letters of those who loved us conditionally. Its too much bother to burn them and wait, so we put them in the garbage dumpster, there is no scavaging allowed at our dump. The ones I pitched before we moved I put in a private dumpster I had delivered to the house to use during a remodel. After years and years of carefully preserving these "treasures" YUCK I didn't flinch to pitch them. The kids were helping pitch them too. We only threw out one or two other books that were non-jw. The rest of the books from our childhood, etc. are for a garage sale. I think the kids will notice that the jw cult control ones were all we were really concerned with pitching. We even threw out the huge meeting case hubby used to tote with all the literature and found an old service bag still packed. Good riddance to that way of thinking. Kitten Whiskers

  if you are going out with friends or just to work tomorrow get a packet of lime koolaid (lime jello works too).

  don't wear any green but put a pinch of the powder on your tongue to make it bright green.

  when challenged about the lack of green just stick out your tongue and tell them you just ate a leprechaun..
