Thank those who helped you out of the Org

here's a thread for all of you to thank those who helped you make your way out of the org.

i'll start.. i'd like to thank my ex-fiance for the support that she had given me when i needed it the most.

when i was faced with the elders coming to give me a shepharding call, she had given me the encouragement to stand up to them, and tell them truly how i felt.

Thank you to Simon for creating this board, where I first learned about the Org.'s UN involvement. That convinced me that it was not the true religion it claimed to be. Thank you to Joyzebel (Joy2Bfree) who e-mailed me often to keep my spirits up. And a big thank you to Barb Anderson and others, who may perhaps bring about the fall of the WT. And everybody on the board for their stories of personal hardship and sucess in getting beyond the JW experience. (And some hilarious stories about fighting and farting at the Kingdon Hall!)

coolest thing about your old KH?

at my old hall, after the new sound system was installed, it would pick up am radio.. i have never known so much about the seattle mariners as i did in the 3 months it took them to find a fix for it.

My husband is a very good stone mason. He did the exterior front of the hall and base of the platform inside using some really nice stone that was purchased by the Hall. He spent alot of time on it, and it turned out beautifully, in spite of "help" he received. Then he was told he could buy the left over stone! After all the work he did, work that would have cost a fortune out in the real world....Anyway, I drive by it almost every day, thinking how ironic it is that most of the people in the hall now have no idea who did the stone work.

Disney's Fictional 'Fahrenheit'?...M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village"

Hi Annie,

I'm so glad you wrote. I was afraid I would get ripped a new one because I didn't see "the big picture." Another thing that struck me about the movie was sending a blind girl--either "a true believer" or a witness blinded to the real truth, to make contact with the outside. And her surprise that "worldly" people were not the monsters she was told they were--the monsters were in their midst. I don't want to say anymore and spoil the ending for those who haven't seen it. Take care,

Kat

I saw "The Village" two nights ago. It was very good, in my opinion. As was mentioned, all I could think of was the Watchtower--the isolation, control of information, the elders deciding what was best, the maligning of the outside world. And all the while someone controlling the entire thing. The color red= the blood issue. I could go on and on. I know it has a larger application, but for me it was very personal.

when you feel low, or someone on line said unkind and untrue things about you ... or you are stressed and taking life too seriously ... maybe an irritating conservative is being overly righteous, or a liberal is pontificating the cure or all humankind's problems ... then click on this, wiggle your mouse ... and have a good laugh ... it puts things in perspective.
