Dam those accurate tests!!
For all the JW lurkers with bad intentions, no need to take the test, THE BORG isn't one of the characters on the test and one of the questions is, have you taken the hippocratic oath, not the hypocritic which you have.
Great post Alleymom

Hi Purps!
Sorry your Hogs lost. great game though. Mcfadden and Jones are awesome! Arkansas fans are first class, I hope your team beats those Gators.good luck the rest of the way.
I'm a USC fan and I'm sure glad we played you guy's early, the outcome now would of been very different i'm sure.

i didn't really even concider(or know about) doing this at the time i da'd....i just kind of jumped off the deep end and didn't look back.
i don't know if that was a very healthy thing for me to do, because i was not sure why i did it and i was quite lost in the world.
it took me 7 years to realize i did the right thing and that jw's are nothing but a dangerous cult.. sometimes i wish i had faded out, so as to not miss my mom.....however it seems that going through all that may be harder that just jumping.
I am so sorry to here this. I will never understand this stance. I have two Grandsons and couldn't fathom not being part of their lives regardless of the paths they choose that differ from mine. Megan is welcome to have me as her honorary Grandpa John. Hayden and Jonathan won't mind.
I've read your posts, Megan has a GRAND mother in you already! never say never right, maybe/hopefully one day things will change..
Take care
i finally had my baby, he was born on november 13th and weighed in at 6 lbs.
i am recovering great and daddy and big sis are all googly eyed over the new addition.
i would like to post some pics to brag about my beautiful new son, does anyone have any tips to help me post those pics?
Congrats Snarf!
You have a beautiful family!!

I faded rather than DA so my family could handle it better. I'm still in the loop when it comes to important matters but are left out of the usual family get togethers, bad association you know. I've seen both sides of this decision but for me, fading allowed interaction although infrequent with the fam. fading hasn't prolonged the agony for me as my family knows better than to corner me with questions anymore. maybe it's kind of a loophole for me but at least my family doesn't feel obligated to shun their only son and brother.
Just curious, does your mom see your children or are they grouped into the shunning?
yesterday, i was in wal-mart, taking care of some business at the service desk, while i was there, i thought......i'll just browse a bit and then get home.. before i knew it i was at the check-out with a hotdog griller...!!!!!!
you know it looks kinda like the ones at gas stations, movie theatres, ball parks!!
i barely eat 10 hot dogs a year and thats just when i don't have another choice.. i have never bought anything stupider that i can remember.. forty bucks spent........maybe five bucks back after i keep it five years.......selling it in a gargae sale.. tell us.....do you buy things impulsively and what was your biggest mistake?.
i was thinking about how i left "the truth" yesterday and got to wondering about the couple of sisters who were directly involved in the beginning of the end for me.
i know it was because of things they personally did to me that led me to believe witnesses were not "a lovable brotherhood".
and i know, they know of the things they did as well.. so here's the thing, i bet they don't feel the least bit guilty or even bad about it.
Good Morning Mariposa,
No your not alone in how you feel. I have experienced the JW wrath of, if your not "with me your against me" and most has been felt by my family. I have been excluded from nieces (who I practically raised) weddings I'm sure for how it may "LOOK" to have a inactive family member there. I've had once dear friends only come by while "counting time" to say hello.
My Mother of all people once told me " you shouldn't join something if your not going to adhere to it's rules" to which I replied " so.. if I was part of the Hitler youth or a extremist group and decided to leave I shouldn't just because I was once a member? all I got in reply was that familiar "look" of you poor misguided soul.
I'm convinced JW's obstaining from blood also refers to non witness family members (blood)
Inside you are still the same person, just be yourself , I still call my Sisters and Mother regularly to say hello and offer my help if they need it. don't change, it really confuses them.

i was feeling a bit guilty about celebrating as this is my 1st year out and i know the history of all the holidays and birthdays are pagan or bloody or idolatrous.. .
but i was thinking that it's not what someone made them in the past but what they are right now.. to us, at this moment.
am i going to sit down on thanksgiving.. and say, "i hate those indians, think i'll go kill some"..????
Hey Josie,
Josie ~ I gotta find my Charlie Brown Christmas CD

Hi Purps!
Funny, Hotdog griller... reminds me of my ex-wife! for me it's those Salsa makers good for one batch then forget about it, won't chop butter.
I once bought a tripod that was on sale and didn't even own a camera! the worst was, I bought a computer and now I'm addicted to JWD. what was I thinking!!

Not at all, but then again I was the little boy as a JW who would get up early Christmas mornings just to look outside and see my friends playing with their presents. I also very young loved the music, the smells and the colors of Christmas. I guess that should of told me something back then huh? with two beautiful Grandsons, Christmas now has a even greater feeling for me!
