reading a post like that makes me so happy I managed to avoid being D'd. Just become inactive peoples and then avoid all shepherding calls like buggery.

How to get the programming out of my mind.
by Apostate.Jr ini have been reading this board for a year now, so i'm not new, but new to posting :)
please let me apologize in advance as i am having trouble separating what is true - from what i hear at the meetings, vs here, and private research, so i may ramble or say things that may sound watchtowery.
i still go to the meetings due to family pressure which may eventually end, not sure when, probably when i decide its enough.

well, I complained because the split in my skirt wasn't high. It was a long skirt and the split would have come up to the knee. Id like to be able to walk freely without shuffling a-la Morticia Adams.

Do you ever fear that they will kill you?
by NYer Girl ini've heard the jws referred to on this site mostly as a cult.
as such, am i the only one who fears that one day the society will tell them to eliminate all of us who have been deemed apostates?
i can think of several of my old "friends" who would not hesitate to take me out.

For those traumatized by being "raised in the truth"...
by changeling inwhat kind of apology would you like to hear from your parents?.
i'll start:.
we are sorry that we were narcissistic wannabe misionaries and that by "putting the kingdom first" we were really putting our personal goals first and never once factored you into the equation.
