" i wanted to cry but i was too numb inside.
several days went by, i had my judicial hearing (i think that was sunday), they told me that i was going to be disfellowshipped.
i accepted that i deserved that.
((((((Truth2me))))))))
You are not alone... I know there is very little I can do but to listen (read) and give you all my support. I know there are very few words that anyone can say to confort you... but like Mackin said... You're amongst friends here.
There are people here who care about you.
And remeber,
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
--Mark Twain (1835-1910)

in the truth, happiness is equated with a stable family life, a hope for the future and working for the cause.. i still believe the same, just may be the cause isnt the same any more.
Amen to that Ruby

i have tons of them, favorite movie quotes that is.
a misspent youth i guess, but i love movies.
i was watching one of my favorites the other day,seven.
Also from the Shawshank Redemption:
RED: Ain't nothing wrong with Brooksie. He's just institutionalized, that's all.
RED: Believe what you want. These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. After long enough, you get so you depend on 'em. That's "institutionalized."
JIGGER: Shit. I could never get that way.
ERNIE: Say that when you been inside as long as Brooks has.
RED: Goddamn right. They send you here for life, and that's just what they take. Part that counts, anyway.
...Or did I heard that conversation between 3 elders in my KH???... I don't remember...

was it family, friends, the belief that this all was really true?
Like many... I believed... But I always beleived everything even with certain doubts... and always willing to wait for "new light"...
After I learned the truth about the toof... I tryed staying in and keeping quiet because of ALL my family and 'friends'... until one day I had to open my mouth because of a comment made by one of my JW friends... and from that day on... I was marked as an Apostate...
