  to be controlled or not to be controlled that is the question!

  by semelcred in

  after years in a high-control group i cannot seem to accept any form of control from an organisation.

  i am fascinated to know how others cope with finding another group to asscociate with.

  i am so cynical i might never be able to be a part of any group again!

  I definitely questions everything now, no matter who it comes from.

  there is always the nagging question in the back of my mind -- is this true, and why

  this quote got me to thinking and i thought about two that i love equally and enjoy being with.

  one is mrs. perfectly scheduled and doesn't leave the house unless she is totally put together.

  she also knows exactly what wine goes with what meal.

  I need some friends...

  by lilyflor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  being a born-in i don't have much friends, in or out of the org., add to that the fact that i have been a stay at home mom for the last 4 years has made it even harder to meet anyone.

  (i found out the truth about the wts shortly after deciding to stay home).

  if you would like to be a facebook friend, please pm me and i will send you my email address.

  Lukemia Witness dies due to lack of blood.....the horrific sad story.

  by Witness 007 in

  2. friends

  the nicest 41 year old brother i have ever met in my life, kind and helpful to all, goes for a routine blood test and finds he has lukemia.

  everyone was in shock, he of course refused all blood products advised by doctors.

  his blood cell count dropped dramatically and he began to suffer alot.

  If you would like to be a facebook friend, please pm me and I will send you my email address. Here is a little background on me: late 30s, 3 small kids, live in the Greater Toronto Area, ON. (and if that gives away to much, I don't care anymore, I am tired of hiding ). I love everything science, can't do it or explain it, but love learning.

  I don't comment much on the board, but I read it every day. This board is awesome! I have learned quite a bit from the links/articles posted by members, thanks guys, you made this gal just a little bit smarter!

  ok, i couldn't let it lie.

  i showed my wife some of the scientific inaccuracies made by the wts over the years .

  my wife was concerned that i have been reading apostate literature.

  maybe you should take one thing at a time, I would leave the God thing out of it completely for now

  i have found that I have lost complete "credibility" with people when it comes to religion/religious beliefs when they find out that I don't even believe in God any more (at least the Bible based God)

  I would definitely use illness as an excuse to start fading, god knows there are enough depressed JWs, --- don't lose that inheritance! I tell my mom "you didn't give me time, education, at least give me money (don't leave it to the WTS).
