Hortensia, I have a cool mom, too. At least I used to. Even though I was DF'd in the late 70's she did not let the borg get between us. We used to do some of the same fun things you mentioned. Museums, shopping, camping, hiking, white water rafting, cruises, we spent a lot of time together. Very new age in a lot of ways. She even lived with me and my lover for a period when she seperated from my dad. We bought her a 4 door car for pioneering. It really was all good.

Out of the blue in 1997 she sent me a letter drawing a line in the sand. I still don't know who or how her thinking got "adjusted". Maybe they threatened her with DF I don't know. I do try to call her but, I get tired of hearing "you turned your back on Jehovah" as it always leads to an arguement. I love her and I miss her but she is just too commited to the WT$ and at her age (77 this year in Sept) what's the point in trying to get her out. That was never a goal of mine anyway. She was happy with her faith. I want her to be happy. My last conversation with her was heart wrenching to hear the disappointment in her voice. She is not happy anymore but she knows nothing else. Her words, "I want to live forever and this is the only way I know how." I just wish it could be the way it used to be before she lost the ability to think for herself.

Fucking cult!

George Bush working on Autobiography

by Simon in

apparently the current president has started work on his autobiography which he hopes to have ready for release when he leaves office.. he's run into a few issues though ... apparently his coloring-in went over the lines in quite a few places and he had trouble cutting out the popup shapes with the plastic safety scissors he was allowed to use..

sometimes this place makes me sick...

by theinfamousone in

it has been quite some time since i have posted on this glorious discussion group... it has been even longer since i have started any discussions myself.. and as somber (or possibly upsetting), my title or even thesis may seem, there is reason and respect coming behind it.... i do love the majority of the people who post here... though your faces and names may have changed since i started here, your kind words, sincere support and listening ears have always been very much appreciated... you have helped me through the hardest times of my life... my feelings of inadequacy (spl?

) and loneliness have often been overshadowed by your caring and love... so i must start by thanking you..... now, that being said; sometimes when i come online and read the dribble that some of you protray as discussion, i am almost sickened... right now my stomach is in knots because of the recent description of one's fecal matter i was subject to read... and yes, i know i could have just clicked off of it, but the title seemed appealing, the subject matter on the other hand was not.... but even this is not enough to turn me off of this site.... the other thing that leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth, is the bull **** that i once believed... the terrible attitude and delusion of grandeur i once shared with the people of this terrible organization.... the pain i must have helped to instill in people who truly did not deserve it... the hatred i felt inside when someone decided to disassociate themselves, or the anger i felt towards the people that were disfellowshipped.

the letters i wrote to my friends, who had left... the families that were falling apart around me, as my own was able to hold some semblance of happiness and stability (whether feigned or not)... all the pain and torture this borg has put me through...has put so many others through... this has left me reeling.... reading about it every day no longer instills anger in me, as it used to... now, it sickens me... sickens me to believe i once felt this way, sickens me that so many others still condemn others for thinking... sickens me to realize that there are other 15 year olds out there being beaten for smiling... sickens me to think that there is not much i can do to help them... except maybe hope that one day they will find this website, or find some friend, or find me, and we can all work together to help this person out..... yes, i needed to rant... the true nature of this message though is to say thank you to all of you for making me realize how sick the witnesses are... how morally blind they are... and how much pain they instill... thank you for helping me out when i needed the help most... thanks for being my family... and i just hope i can help you all and anyone else that needs it as much as you helped me... i hope one day we all feel sickened at the damage the witnesses caused and continue to cause.

Hi IO. Long time no see. I didn't read the poopie post and am glad for that.

There is so many different ways we cope with the madness of our past. I hope you find a way around the sickening feeling that your past gives you. Just always remember, that is not you anymore. You have to learn from your mistakes in order not to repeat them.

Nice to see you.
