I'm turning myself in. Lurking elders, are you listening?
by Eve Deceived ini think it's fitting for my very first post to be a thread on jw.net turning myself in to any lurking elders out there on a witch-hunt to cleanse the congregation so that god's choosen ones can "remain in god's love.
" so i'm sorry to all you awesome, truthful apostates on this site, but this thread is really intended for any lurking nazis -- i mean, the taliban -- ugh, i mean elders of the world's most "loving" cult religion.. i am an apostate.
here, i'll save you the trouble:.

I wouldn't want to, because I don't float or fly well. But confinement wiyh my husband is no problem. We crave each other's company, even after 18 years.

Apparently your mom's maternal instinct is stronger than her cult indoctrination. Good for her! Don't worry about her learning TTATT right now. Just assure her of your love and let her know about your successess out in the real world.

There was a big case a while back that's been thoroughly covered at the silent lambs website. And if you check watchtowerdocuments.com, Barbara Anderson has verificaion of cases going back to 1964, I believe.

My husband and I sleep in separate rooms on different floors. I have difficulty with stairs, so my room is on the first floor with an adjustable bed. My husband's room is on the second floor with his queen sized bed. It hasn't hurt our marriage one bit!

You and I left the Watch Tower cult under similar circumstances, and I've been shunned by my jw family for 25 years. I overcame the resentment by seeing these people for what they really are; unhealthy association. In reality, both of our families would've rather seen us endangered or dead at the hands of our jw husbands rather than have a free, safe life. It isn't any different than letting us die due to a lack of a blood transfusion.
Personally, I don't care whether their shunning comes from their own evil, cult influence, or a combination of both. The fact remains that they don't have our realistic best interests at heart. If it was anyone else, would you want to associate with delusional people who would rather see you die than disagree with them?
