he is not mentally ill he is just pure evil!!
What Cognizant Dissident said!!!
what are some words or phrases that people outside of the usa find amusing or interesting?
Here in South Africa, we use the word "dummy" for "pacifier", "nappy" for "diaper", "lift" for "elevator" and "robot" for "traffic light"!
my memory is lacking but i seem to remember back in the late 70's early 80's that the treatment of those df'd was softened.
i remember it being ok to say hello for a while but then they clamped down again.
if i'm not mistaken, it was about the time of the ray franz departure, and if i'm not mistaken he was partly responsible for the softening.. it has been mentioned that there may be a high level apostate in ny.
Dont see that happening.
it's gotten very difficult to find jw's out on the net now a days.. anyways....i would like to come in contact with fellow believers across the globe.. i'm a 26yr old bapt scandinavian.
single and looking for the right guy.. love cooking, meetings, reading, hiking, swimming and outdoor life in general.. .
post ur email on here and a short description and we might become friends .
Stick around anyway - we are not a bad bunch of apostates! Quite harmless really!

Welcome Jetery - Thank you for sharing your story!!!
hey everyone!
just joined this board, but not new to boards of this sort.. the board i favored most just changed and i haven't rejoined (mainly because it sux now).. i have heard about this board for awhile, but this is the first time i ventured in.
just kinda.
Welcome J-Belle!!!
i am tired.. tired of thinking.
tired of wondering whether every issue or hangup i have as an adult is because of my cultish upbringing.
tired of not having a normal relationship with my mother, father and sister.
The thing is that I have been living a life outside the borg for so long - I do have a whole normal life, with good friends, celebrating holidays and so on.
Mostly I can deal with my family, but coming here makes me confront the past, and sometimes it just all gets a bit much. I probably will have to continue living in limbo so that my kids can have a semblance of a relationship with their grandparents.
I confronted my mom with my thoughts a couple of weeks ago and now the whole dynamic of our relationship has changed. I am no longer a lost soul that in time she can guide back. She now knows I have no intention of ever going back. And she agreed never to talk to me about going back as long as I dont talk about my reasons for not going back.
Now we have these small talk conversations where we ignore the proverbial elephant because if either of us mention it, that will be the end. How silly is that!
Anyway, thanks again for your support. I love you guys!
i am a bit of a yo yo dieter - i have been dieting ever since i was a teenager, and my role model for this was my mom of course.
in fact one of my very early memories of going shopping with mom and her buying a diet shake mix.
well... i have a little girl who is almost three and i have been thinking about things and i really need to break this cycle of crash diets, losing 5 kgs and picking up 10 once i have lost motivation.
Thanks Everyone!!!
I am so psyched to do this thing!!! I will be keeping you updated but I may only post the before and after pics once I am at goal
