my gay xjw friend sent me a link to a site (must be an unofficial jw site) with so many do and co talks - f*** me dead!
its like hearing the dead talk.
anyway, my friend somehow had found out that one of his (years ago) bible studies was featured on it.
One of the things I have noticed over the years is that people who tell you to clean up your language or some other little correction are using that to draw attention to their own superiority.
"Clean up your language -- see what a pure person I am and what an awful person you are?"
we have not had a tv for about 2 years.
and even befor this we did not have cable and spent very little time in front of the tv.
that does not mean that we are anti entertainment.
I get my news online too, BBC online for international, and our local paper has an online site, too.

I agree with you -- I have a sister who is still bitter about our childhood, even though we are in our 60s now. I have left it all in the past and I'm a pretty happy person. However, I still wouldn't voluntarily submit to listening to a "talk" from a JW. Yuck!
I think you're right about Perry.
have you ever bought anything?.
my favorite commercial is the guy that screams because he's trying to clean his ears!
ahhhhhhggghhhh!!!
But, Wait! There's more! You can get two for the price of one (just pay separate exorbitant shipping and handling fee!)!!
I get tired listening to people who talk in all caps and use lots of exclamation points in their speech.

I seldom watch television, as most things I want to watch I can watch on the internet. I have netflix, too.
what made you realize it was time to go?
i've been having health problems for the last few years and instead of any help, i'm listed as spiritually weak and of course associations is only my kids and husband.
all the good jw's have moved to other congregations and are doing well.
You might want to stop calling it "the truth." It isn't true.
Everyone has given some good advice -- the only thing I can say is take your time, do what you can to make life easier. As for those in your family who have already left the org., it wouldn't be a slap in the face if you do too. It would be a triumph and they would welcome it. I know, as the first person out in my family, I welcomed it when each new family member quit being a JW.

It's the kind of reminder that makes you really really glad you got out of the org. before you became that kind of drone yourself.
I can't stand to listen to it, I'd rather shove a sharp stick into my ears.
There are kids on this site. Please clean up the rhetoric.
Double huh?

the moment i mentioned jehovah's witnesses he headed over to his file cabinet and handed me this print out.. .
dear beloved one, .
i see your loneliness and fears.
I have to say that if this happened to me, I'd look for another therapist. You want to continue seeing this therapist, which is your decision, just be aware that if necessary, you can move on to another one who won't preach.
so im reading "why evokution is true" by coyne and the page im on is talking about darwin and natural selection:.
"but natural selection was also the part of evolutionary theory con- sidered most revolutionary in darwins time, and it is still unsettling to many.
selection is both revolutionary and disturbing for the same reason: it explains apparent design in nature by a purely materialistic process that doesnt require creation or guidance by supernatural forces.
You seem to be having a stressful day -- I read your other thread, too. Facing reality can be difficult and painful. Don't worry too much about it; just get what you can out of each day. I don't think there's any point in looking back and regretting, or in looking too far forward and having still more regret.
It's a sad thing that this life is probably all there is. But, it makes life more precious and we don't want to waste it.
