i am 46 and i remember that mess. i was instructed not to let my son watch the Smurfs on t.v. i always was kind of mixed up over their decision but as you know, no one could question the GB.

Gen Xers--Who remembers when Smurfs were Demonic?
by apostawriter inwhen word came down that a smurf jumped up in the middle of a meeting, yelled 'i've had enough of this shit!
' and stormed out, i was probably 9 years old.
at the time i had a smurf record.

brainwashed by my best friend when i was twelve. never seriously joined but i went through all of the same mannerisms that they did like not saluting the flag, celebrating holidays etc. when i was 22jyrs old i started attending the hall regularly..i didn't become baptized until i was 27. i married a j.w. brother at 28 and i left the org at 30.
i am glad that i took so long to be indoctrinated. it showed me that at least i had some sort of control over my own life. i left the org because i wanted to not because i was df or da. i couldn't take the constant intrusion of them in my life.
however, being involved for so very long had it's bad effects. i still struggle with guilt when i see them. it is getting better though with the help of freeminds.com and this board.
peace,

carmel,
i have been a baptized member of a baptist church ever since 2002. i used to be a witness from the time i was 12 til i was 30 yrs old. capitalizing in a simple e mail. why. this is my style. i only give God that honor. i had the hardest time leaving the k.h. so don't try to make me feel any more guilt than what i was made to feel when i left the hall. i still have issues with it. this is a board for those to find friends who left the so called truth and not a board where there are those who are ready to accuse like the organization that i left.
peace freddi

coincidence, i feel annointed as you claim me to be not as the w/t claims. to tell the truth, i am a woman who decided to leave the organization on her own. instead of feeling independence to this day, i still feel a sense of guilt because i left. don't know when that is going to leave me. i feel much comfort when i listen to tapes that i purchase from randy of free minds. his tapes and my prayers give me strength to walk out there and not feel like i am an evil spawn when ever i see a former j.w. but i still feel hurt. that is the many yrs of programming. cult, ya see. i shouldn't still feel this way but i do and i know that the w/t is false.l it is the yrs of conditioning. at least, praise God, i know that i am being decieved. may the many leave the organization before it is too late like they used to tell us.

Hello Coincidence, I am a she and not a he. thank you. peace and love, freddi p.s. whenever the vernal equinox falls, the day that we should observe the dinner is not on the night of the Passover. They argued that Christ be taken down from the cross and buried so as not to interfere with the Passover, not the regular Sabbath. So Christ, no matter what day of the week Passover falls on, He had His last meal the day before the Feast of Passover.

Tuesday - (this is when i observed Jesus' last supper) Jesus ate an evening meal with His disciples, at the beginning of Nisan 14, biblical reckoning, and instituted the Nes Covenant's symbols. Matthew 26:26-28) Jesus was then betrayed by Jesus, arrested and during the night brought before the high priest. Wednesday - Jesus was crucified and died around 3p.m. (Matthew 27:46-50) This was the preparation day for the annual, not weekly Sabbath, which bagan at sunset. (Mark 15:42, Luke 23:54, John 19:31) Jesus' body was placed in the tomb just before sunset. (Matthew 27:57-60 Thursday - This was the high day Sabbath, the first day, of Unleavened Bread. (John 19:31, Leviticus 23:4-7) It is described as the day after the "Day of Preparation". (Matthew 27:62) Friday - The high day Sabbath now past, the women bought and prepared spices for annointing Jesus' body before resting on the weekly Sabbath day, which began at Friday sunset. (Mark 18:1, Luke 23:56) Saturday - The women rested on the weekly Sabbath accoeding to the Forth Commandment. (Luke 23:56, Exodus 20:8-11) Jesus rose near sunset, exactly three days and three night after burial, fulfilling the sign of Jonah and authenticating the sign He gave of His Messiahship. Sunday - The women brought the prepared spices early in the morning while it was still dark. (Luke 24:1, John 20:1), finding that Jesus had already risen. (Matthew 28:1-6, Mark 16:2-6, Luke 24:2-3, John 20:1) He did not rise on Sunday morning but near sunset the day before. So apparently, even the j.w.'s don't even commemorate the Lord's Supper on the correct evening. Go figure. They always claim to do things in accordance with the precise timing. So why the memorial on "Wednsday" and not "Tuesday"? Peace and Blessings, Freddi

hi all, even though i am no longer a witness and was baptized as a baptist after i left organization of my own accord, i still don't observe "good friday". i still stick to the day before passove to observe Christ's last supper. which happens to be on the 12th this yr. i will have my partaking of the matzah and grape juice. this "good friday" thing is only tradition for many. Jesus rose after the third day. how do you get three days from friday afternoon to sunday morning? go figure. peace and love
