cowabunga dudes!
sat on tge platform reading the scriptures for some bullpoop q and a parroting session..
my po once said he felt physically ill seeing me give talks on the platform.
Do you smile and wink at him when he glares at you? Do you tell him how much you appreciate his rapt attention when you are on the stage, because it means he has your back? Do you thank him for setting that wonderful example?
I like to screw their minds.
for those of you who have a minute to read this, here is a report from my family trip.. i was in florida for the holidays visiting my older sister and family, along with my parents which were also visiting.. although i've had conversations with my mother about the organization, my sister and her family had no idea of my position in regards to the (un)truth - perhaps because we live far away from each other.
i knew the day was coming.... on my second day there, the whole family was sitting around bs-ing about different stuff, and as usual my mother starts with the "world is getting worse by the day" conversation, followed by approving nods and smart remarks from the rest of the family.
i then politely told them that this was not true, that in fact the world has never been better.
Good job!
need to put it in writing.
i think of it every day.
i know so many of us have gone through this, but it sure hurts.
abusers play the victim sometimes. I think the mother's response was a bit of self-justification, blaming everyone but herself for the consequences of following those evil old men in Brooklyn
she replied to one of my posts.
my hope for you is that you will see "the truth about the truth".
i will be myself on this forum, as it has helped me immensly over the past 20 months.
Your mother stalked you on JWN? Yeah, uncomfortable. You're acting like a grown-up, though, which is a good thing.
yesterday evening my wife and i were invited to friends house for new year's eve.
we met them when i was a christian and we have kept in touch.
they had a few other friends there as well, including the new church pastor and his wife.
Very cool conversation! Interesting that the pastor ran through his list of explanations and you blew each one out of the water leaving him with nothing to say. I sincerely hope he thinks about it, though.
kunming (capital of yunnan province in south china, near the border with myanmar) has a reputation of being a city with a climate of perpetual spring.
neither winter or summer is extreme (on average) so its news when it snows:.

I've always wanted to go see the winter festival in Harbin -- never made it. Love those photos, thanks for sharing.
i say goodbye to all of you because of the tremendous pressure from my family members who are jws.. anyhow, i enjoyed my association with you for a short period!
it is part of life, as the bible says: we are all temporary residents here (hebrews 11:13).
this is my favorite scripture that has helped me to remain always balanced and equi-poised, helping me not to be greedy towards things or people expecting from them too much!.
Yeah, come back one of these days! The coffee is always on, someone's always awake to say hello.
sometime in the early 1990s i made a commitment to myself that if the end did not come in 2014 i was going to walk away.
then i started thinking - if i waited until 2014 i would be 57 years old with very few options.
that is when i realized that i needed to make changes to get my life back.
2014 well, I'm humming a little Beatles ditty, will you still need me, will you still feed me, etc.
one year to Medicare!! Then I can live anywhere, my fantasy is Sitka or Sewell.
and she tried to act as if she were by best friend, hugs and all.
i told her the elders were dirty getting her and her family to come in at the last minute and be my accusers yet none of them could remember anything from six years ago.
i told her this was all on account of her brother.
Good for you!
ok so you had a bad experience and you stopped going to church which ever one that is.
but did you stop believing or are you that peeved you blame god etc.
i would encourage you to humble yourself before your messiah and seek him, he will let himself be found by you and come dwells within you.
mmm, piss off
