i outed myself on facebook

by jeckle in

i've been post things on facebook like washtowel, field circus,etc.

next i told a nonwitness friend i was glad to be out of the cult he invited me to his church.

actually i said cults suck i'm glad i'm not in one anymore.

It would be a great relief to be able to not worry about being found out. I only try to keep from it in order to keep family, though I think they all know I don't believe anymore and they ignore it for the sake of family. Though really, I don't try that much to hide it anymore. And I rarely see J-dubs - many of those I see at the store or wherever ignore me anymore.

"it really feels like a relief cause i dont like looking over my shoulder i live a moral and law abiding life and this is a free country i have the right to do what i want . i want to enjoy myself and be happy. i want to go into work and scream marry christmas ho ho ho. (or run down the street with a rubber glove on my head screaming hi i'm a squid) lmao hee hee just kidding 'bout that one. you know what i'm saying."

Indeed, I do know what you are saying. Good for you.

First time ever - I attended my first Catholic Mass tonight...

by ziddina in

it was very interesting.... of course, the first thing i noticed was the building.

very different from a "kingdom hall" - this catholic church is in an extremely modern, six-sided building.

as one enters the building, their "holy water" font - fountain(???

My husband was raised Catholic. After his mother died 16 months ago, we did start attending the Catholic church he grew up in for a while. It really was a "worship" service and I really enjoyed it for a while. When the congregants take communion, if you are not Catholic you can still go up with your hands crossed over your chest and receive a blessing. I enjoyed the feeling that gave me. But after a while, it just became a chore to have to go every Sunday morning. The newness had worn off and I guess I was bored with it. I really don't want to tie myself down to any church and it will be a long time, if ever, that I attend church services again anywhere.

no call to invite me to a committee meeting...no notification of deciding i should be df'd....no telling my jw wife of the announcement...not a chance to appeal what i did not even know what was going on...my mini-serve son is devasted....he even researched it....told me to go to page 153-154 of the od book...never heard of it but it is a green hardback given to all who are to be baptized.

wow...the elders broke every rule in this book as to my case.... i have no respect for these men that can take away your jw family without even telling you they are going to.

my jw son has now begged me to meet with my committee...even though there is prob zero chance they can reverse the decision...that chance is from when they let you know...and you have to appeal by letter within 7 days (i cant make this stuff up!!

"dammit my jw wife just walked in and asked what i was doing??? lmao this can hardly get any better!!!!..........."

How did you respond to that? She and the rest of your family who are in probably hope that the move of disfellowshipping you will move you to repentance and cause you to come back to the fold. Now your wife is going to check up on you. She wants to make sure you have no support from any other quarter. I have great sympathy for the situation you are in. I know this has you in a lot of emotional turmoil. Kicking you when you are down, so typical of that religion.

I'm not sure what to say that would help you, so I will just keep you in my prayers and ask God to take on your load. Take care.

Do you dress your pets?

by Snoozy in

as a child i had many cats and delighted in putting my doll clothes on them and rocking them in the rocking chair..i would even make a tent on my mom's bed and put them in it like they were in a cave..i had a great imigination... they would tolerate it for a while and then decide the fun was over..picky cats.... so if you have animals do you dress them up now?

or did you or your kids dress them up?

they looked so cute!.

mimimimi

My youngest son's girlfriend has a Pomeranian puppy. She dresses her so cute! Yesterday she had on a pink and white sweater with a hood, and over it she had a coat, brown background with pink, red, and white hearts. She looked like she was ready for Valentine's Day.

typical witnesses !!!

a friend of mine x jw like myself, works as a window cleaner on a road where a family of active jws live.

he watched a situation develop over a say a year were they started a bible study with a local neighbour and eventually he became a jw himself.. now this fella was a bit of a odd bod, looked odd, dressed odd, generally made people feel a little uncomfortable, but not a bad person lets use an often used phrase in england "an eccentric".. well of course he showed a little bit of interest, pherhaps he was lonely.

well of course he was really fussed over by is local jw neighbours, bible study,.

mimimimi

Sheesh! If he had lots of money, I bet they would sing a different tune. But they befriended him, someone probably no one else had any use for, and the truth is they have no use for him either. So loving, wouldn't you say!

I had bought boots for one of our dogs when she had injuries to the pads on two of her feet. She didn't really like the boots and would step very high while she had them on. Once she was healed, we would once in a while still put the boots on her and hang a cow bell around her neck and she would go high stepping through the yard, clanging the cow bell all the way. We would laugh till we were sick.

A certain "special program", or an "organizational adjustment"?

by possible-san in

well, in a certain bulletin board (2ch) in japan, the boe letter dated january 19 (?

), 2011 has become a topic of conversation.. that is connected with a certain "special program/organizational adjustment.".

do you know something about this?.

mimimimi

Ministerial servants may be happy with that adjustment at first, but they are sure to get burned out before it is all said and done.
