Hi Es, sorry to hear this. My grandfather passed a few weeks back. I wasn't even that close and it was hard. I hope you have a good visit too.

Visit From The Elders
by Lloyd Braun in"well, are we stopped?
" (dark helmet) ... "we're stopped sir" (colonel sanders) - spaceballs 1987. the inevitible and imminent visit that i had hoped was going to be quite a bit further down the road from now has just occurred.
i am growing paranoid while at the same time welcoming this.

Just started COC, can't stop crying
by erynw ini left the wtb&ts 24 years ago after being a full time pioneer for 15 years and have never looked back.
i have no family "in" and have moved very far away from the congro i left.
no one here knows i used to be in this cult.. i experienced the usual shunning from the members of the congro i went to and from surrounding congregations (the city i lived in was big and had several khs), but it didn't last long because i moved away shortly after the "big announcement".

I haven't read it yet but I do plan to - thx for the reminder.
I think Horrible Life is close on the steps - I went through them pretty quickly to be honest only recently after being out for 5 or so years. Not sure what the bargaining part is though but definitely anger and a touch of depression but getting to accept where I am. The good thing is after making it through I feel more normal and stable than ever before - and I don't even have the "paradise" to look forward to.
I hope you can come through like many here have been able to. (and you too Goinggoinggone if you still are in the steps as it were)
P.S One of my last posts mentioned my sister who has been out for 13 years and still got scared in thunderstorms because of "armageddon" !!! Fortunately I have been able to set her straight...
PSS I still feel a little bit of No. 2 now and then

Do you really want to save us?
by nvrgnbk inthis is for the christians.. let's put our swords away.. try to convince those of us that have lost our faith to accept jesus christ and all that that acceptance entails.. pretend that our lives( eternal) depend on it.. that's what you believe isn't it?.
this is an opportunity to win souls for christ.. yes.
things may get heated.

Hey nvr - I guess I agree with you on this one. I'm starting to think it doesn't matter if God exists or not - as it was mentioned - he/she doesn't obviously care about what goes on down here anyway. I used to pray too - but can honestly say I never felt holy spirit and never felt better for it. Nothing ever changed either. Was I praying to the wrong God? If I was sincere about it (although decieved by WT) and I was god I wouldn't have minded.
You gotta find your own way and enjoy what you can now of the life you have. Thank
