break time for me

by purplesofa in

i am going to try to live without needing the board so much for awhile.

the only reason i am saying anything is that i am horrible at sending pm's, emails, etc.

and i dont want people to wonder in the back of their mind where i am, if all is ok.. i am tired all the time and i just want to see what my life can be like not in constant thought about the jw world running through my brain.. i will wonder how everyone is doing and would welcome emails.

I'll miss you purps, but I completely understand where you are coming from and what you mean. Hope to see you back here when/if you are ready.

ROTFLMAO. We should definitely sell these.

These are my favourite, esp the last one

I am so angry and frustrated right now

i cannot be very specific with this because i do not know who is patrolling these boards to try to catch faders (like me).

my mother has been very ill for a long time due to multiple health issues, all of them stemming back to a very low blood cell count.

before i even began to have doubts, as well as my father asking me about the 1975 debacle, i kept wondering why god (i can't call him jehovah now that i know the truth) would allow such a wonderful and selfless person to suffer if all they needed was something that was produced naturally in our bodies.

Elinor I'm so sorry you're losing your mum. This whole situation sucks, but I'm glad you are able to be there for her.

(((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))

One more newbie, yeiks!

my story as a witness follows much of a 'dumb and dumber' sort of path.

i get to be both dumb, and dumber, of course.

what drove me to post on this site was sheer despiration.

Welcome to the board Wings, I'm so sorry about your families suffering, especially your son. How is he doing now?

During the years that have followed, I have realized that there is no place in the witness society for suffering humanity.

I can totally relate to this sentiment, I feel the same way. I have been chronically ill for most of my life and as if that wasn't enough I had to deal with the isolation and lack of support from my 'loving' congregation. I'm glad you are coming out of the borg now and that you at least have a great support network from your real family.

When's the last time you gave hell to someone?

by JH in

today i went to get an oil change at toyota and i get there and tell the clerk, i want a oil change, and thats all, nothing more, cause i only have 45 bucks on me and it costs 42 .. .

so, the clerk says no problem, so wait for my car.......then i notice the mechanic is removing the wheel caps.....so i say hmmmm....and then he takes off the wheels and then i understand that he is rotating the tires.... so, once i pay and get in my car, the little sticker that they put on the windshield on the upper left side, has the date and mileage that i should have when i go back for the next oil change.

well, they made a mistake there too, instead of putting 17,000 km for my next service, they put 27,000, so they got that wrong.

I can't imagine you mad JH.

But that would definitely make me mad a hell.

Recently kicked out...

by bluesbreaker59 in

just wanted to share my story.... i was raised a jw all my life, my mother and father married and divorced twice, my mother was disfellowshipped when i was 6 and never came back, choosing a career, and went through various men.

i was raised by my very loving and wonderful father, easily father of the century in my opinion.

all my life i was a great kid, example in the hall, great grades, got a full college scholarship, etc.
