The Rest of My Story-The Fading Years
by okiesooner1966 ini would like to start by saying the years following high school were probably even more stressful than before.
the very day i graduating i moved out of my parents house, it took all of three weeks to get my next commitee meeting.
i did a horrible thing by going on a graduation trip with some of my classmates, even though all did was party like it any other kid my age, which thier parents paid for thier trp it was enough for me to be disassociated, though i was not baptized at the time it was the same as being disfellowshipped.

Okie,
Welcome to the board.
Couple of questions, if yo do not mind:
What happened to the ex wife?
Were there kids by that union?
What type of business are you in?
And, yes, you will find me the "nosey:" one on the board.....

Arrogance and Asinity I say!
by AK - Jeff inas i drove thru the countryside this morning at 0300 on my way back from work [i was supposed to report and found that i had been scheduled for another vacation day, so back home i went], i drove past the kingdom hall and began to meditate in the utter absurdity of what these poor souls believe about themselves.
they arrogantly are duped to accept that the devil, the ultimate evil in all the universe, has selected them as target.
i drove past tens of thousands of people in that short drive, yet this small cluster of people believes that they alone are worthy of his attack.

Jeff,
Good post.
Yes, the JWs are the ultimate example of delusion.
Since the KH is, literally, just around the conrer.....a five minute walk at most...I pass it a couple of times or more a day. It is a monument to waste: a waste of time, money, effort..I mean, just name it and if it is a "contribution" of any type toward the WT it is good feed stuffed in the mouth of a dead, decaying horse. The GB is standing above the horse telling all what a fine and wonderful animal it is.
Delusion....complete and final.
Hang tough, bro, and GET SOME SLEEP!!
Wtih you,

REGRETS?
by REBORNAGAIN ini was among the jw's for 30 whole years.
left them in 1999 and it was the best thing i ever did.

Looking forward to your posts.

perhaps this is naive of me-
by Younglove1999 inso about a month ago, i finally "confessed" to my jw friend that my husband and i haven't been to a meeting since february.
we're in different halls, so she wasn't aware of our inactivity.
when i told her, i didn't explain any details about what lead us to stop going, other than the normal "we're confused- so much going on, new baby, etc" stuff.

Young,
There is a price for freedom and you are beginning to pay this price. THIS, what you are going through, is a part of the process. Read the threads....it happens to almost anyone.
My advice: let it go as gently as possible.
Just let go.....Let go....
That "lighter feeling:" you feel that way because you are not dragging a lot of dead weight, and, after you let it go, and look back: you will see how life-less it really was.
Let go.....

Tomorrow will be one of the PROUDEST days of my life.
by nicolaou iniv'e been posting here a long time but here's something i never shared before .
i'm still a window cleaner.
i'm not going to rant at the 'society' because they don't own my anger anymore but my work is certainly a legacy of my cult past.

How can I help my JW son?
by Maddie inhow can i help my son?.
after speaking with my son (a jw) today, i realise that he has many hurt feelings that he hasn't dealt with.
his childhood affected him more deeply than i realised because he hasn't really opened his heart like he did today.

Maddie,
I have not read the whole thread....gotta sign off.
The comments I read that recommended loving concern and communication: I agree. He will reach a time when he will voice some concerns. The key is to listen and not get excited and give just a bit of information..something you have noticed. Be ready and be calm: I have always failed in this area, however, I am doing better.
Love will overcome. He IS talking to you. Your compassion and care, over time, will win out over the control and manipulation of the WT.
I wish you endurance,
V
