  in case anyone's interested but unaware of my family's case up to this point, here's the original thread:.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/198852/5/sbcheezits-judicial-hearing-my-epic-fail-repost-for-ie-users.

  so the elders requested a follow-up meeting last week but we were unable to meet at their set time and told them as much.

  I just want you to know I am proud of you....Don't let them suck you back in....they keep sending me cards with little notes to attend meetings again as I just left and never went back five years ago this month. The courage came from this web site

  Shunned by the world, then by the JWs and then shunned by Theists, when does this end?

  by cyberjesus in

  2. beliefs

  when i was a jw i always hide my jw status to people of the world because i was taught that we were hated by satan and his world.

  and indeed in school i experienced being ostracized by my religious beliefs and everytime i had to take a stand not saluting the flag i was the object of ridicule.. then when i left the jw now i am shunned by my family by taking a firm posture on my beliefs or disbeliefs.

  now i am ostracized by my own jw family because i dont go along their set of doctrines.. now that i have abandoned any religious belief altogether feel how most people who dont believe in a god are ostracized from the majority of the populations.

  I wouldn't worry about it....unless you are being a pest with your belief....are you? Nothing like a pest who wants to prove what they believe and to shove it down your throat. Atheist can be pest also.

  i know this is a pointless question, but what if this happened:.

  you came home from work one day, sat down, and turned on the tv.

  there is a sudden announcement that the un has banned all religion.

  What if, we as individuals just worship God and his Son Jesus Christ, and not with a church of any sort? Keeping our belief private. How will the UN know we are Christians?

  Sorry is someone has posted this thought before me

  i don't have to, fortunately, because i don't share my computer with anyone.. but i've been thinking, with empathy, about those that do.

  how far do you go to stop people realizing that you've been here?

  do you log in and out every time?

  I undestand your feelings ....the Watchtower had me so brainwashed that I was afraid to do a search on the GB for fear lighting would hit and crash the computer. I got over it when I realized they are nothing special....and I broke free from the WTS hold on me.

  I think it is terrible that Bethelites are not appreciated more.....What woke me up was, hurricane Katrina and how Greedy the Watchtower org. was in rebuilding KHs and helping to repair homes of members...they used free labor and donated equipment while collecting the home owners Insurance.

  The turn around and ask members to contribute to Katrina victims, brothers and sisters ...who knows where the money went!

  A black mans view "Chocolatechip in a large Sugar Cookie" The message I took away is that we cannot continue to pick at the scab of America's past but must become the balm that heals it. That's the way forward—arm in arm, moving together, toward a better future.
  
  Standing in a crowd that stretched from the Washington Monument to Lincoln Memorial what happened on 8/28 was the most inspirational thing I had ever experienced.
  
  Standing there, unhyphenated and united, this black man has never felt more free in his life.

  Didn't Martin Luther King change the attitute of White People toward the Black Race for the good already? You need to stop living in the past and go forward with your life. People like Sharpton should STFU ...he is a race baiter and EGO MANIC

  Cap and trade will only benifit Obama and his favored UNIONS...Al Gore has already made millions with the "Global Warming nonsense"

  Cap and trade will destroy many companies and then our country...be careful of wolves in sheeps clothing.

  When Bush left office, Obama was more than happy to spend the stimalus money helping his cronies in the UNIONS keep their 6 figure salaries and take over GM. Obama has done nothing to help private business get back on their feet...which is why the economy is still in the toilet. Private business provides the jobs that we need to get us back on our feet.

  Obama has put us deeper in debt and only the UNIONS are rich. WITH our hard earned money I might add.
