(((((((I'm so sorry Brenda)))))))
Job 14:
This would give me hope through all my years of struggle and I would eagerly await the release of death. You would call and I would answer and you would yearn for me... For then you would guard my steps... My sins would be sealed in a pouch, and you would cover my guilt.

Mom Died -- and I found out from an old friend!
by BrendaCloutier inok, i'm writing this thru tears as i just found out in the last 5 minutes.
my dad died in august, and they had been together just 1 or 2 weeks over 70 years married!
i didn't expect her to last without him, and visa versa.. i just tried to call my sister, and no answer there.

A new experience
by NanaR inlast wednesday evening i attended a catholic mass for the first time in my life.
being raised as one of jehovah's witnesses, i rarely ever saw the inside of another church (maybe the occasional wedding or music recital), but catholic churches were particularly off limits.
i am now exploring my spiritual horizons.

I think that if you've grown to the point where you can even step foot in a Catholic church, let alone actually appreciate some of the experience, You're gonna be JUST FINE!
I hope you can find a spiritual home and a spiritual family... it can be so incredible!!! -

Getting my groove back
by Stezza infate (or something) has meant that my last day of work is friday and that i will be able to go home for about 3 weeks.
home is melbourne, australia, i live in ireland at the moment.. when i left the organisation in around 1998, i pretty much disappeared, i was fortunate enough to have to travel for work and move back home (no point renting if you are never there and you are not home so much your mother annoys you), so i never got the difficult questions, hauled out the back etc, anyway in their minds i was a single girl desperate to get married they probably thought i found a boyfriend, i actually would of liked to have been a missionary) .
after i travelled for work i resigned and did what many antipodeans do - travel and and live overseas.

Hi Cindi,
Welcome to the board.... EXCELLENT response!!!
I'm glad that you're here and willing to share
It's so encouraging to hear that there are people who have been through so much trauma at the hands of the self proclaimed "God's Chosen Ones" and yet they have still retained their faith and trust in HIM! Take hope, If you truthfully seek Jehovah, he WILL show himself to you! No Matter what!
For Weary,.... Please don't kick yourself for living a lie... IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!!!! Your eyes are open now... Praise GOD and move forward! We'll cheer you on and (((Luke 15:10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."))) -

Damnit Weary! You stole MY story!!! Except for the tortured little GIRL part... well sometimes... maybe just a little.
WELCOME to the board, You're among friends now.
Just get comfortable.... and get real.
If you need some one-on-one attention and listening, there are several members of the "AGAPE" class here... You can even PM me or even give a call.

Question for the EX-JW:
by rezrez inwhen you left the religion or cult, which religion did you convert to.
remember, i dont need to know why you left, i just want to which religion did you convert to.
-

gordon d
Christianity.... that's the religion... or better yet, my relationship.
A couple/few times a week, I hang out with some other people who like to honor God and His son too...and share there personal beliefs and questions with one another.... AND see how (together) they can make the world a better place until God takes over.
Here's that group's website: www.woodlandsccc.org -

I'll start with Honesty's contribution:
Deuteronomy 18:21-22 (NIV)
"How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?" If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.
