i was not alive in 1975 lol sorry, i missed the part about not getting married or having children in this system of things. in my opinion ppl in my hall are poppin out kids left and right so i assume it was not mandatory or anything. but the after HS thing an elder consulted me with that.

No one talked about preparing for the future

of course they did, we told u 2 pioneer, attend the meetings and donate 2 WBTS and above all to rely on jah put his kingdom 1st

turned down overtime because it interfered with meetings

I know XOCO would not pass up a promotion but i just can't stand wk overtime where they don't give u a shift differential

And I can teach my sons some practical things about life and living it to the full. Just a thought I was having since I am thinking about going to school...

i knew that u were a supper nerd

could it be a coincidence?

i know that i don't created a lot of topics but i've been thinking about my feelings towards jw teachings and what i have learned so far from jwd and a couple of other sites.

i always found it hard 2 dismiss what i have learned from the kh and on apostate sites i feel like i'm in a cognitive dissonance, which means uncomfortable tension that may result from having two conflicting thoughts at the same time.

Roddy: I find the videos of those that have moved on and are not stuck in bitterness more encouraging than the videos from 2Proud2BMe.

that's really fair to say but i think in 2proud2beme is just trying to make awareness about JWs and i think in one of her clips she emphasize her mistreatment with jw that probably scared her 4 life, which i feel sorry 4 her. but i see the same ranting like this on JWD.

Must Obey: The JW's teach some good, true doctrines IMHO but also teach much crap. Learn to keep what you feel is true and right and reject what is bollox.

thats the thing right there i do agree with some if not most of the teachings that i learned as a kid live love/obey ur parents, don't steal, no premarital sex etc, etc

Chapter from my novel

by Abandoned in

chapter 1 taken.

the stranger glances side to side, eyes peeled, studying the tranquil neighborhood, searching for motion, for movement, for any sign of activity, as he glides his beige chevy cavalier station wagon to a stop in front of the elegant white house.

he cuts the engine and with it the air conditioner as the punishing sun journeys between the sparsely positioned, comic book character clouds and endeavors to bake and blind him.

i've read ur excerpt abandoned and its really good *applause* it felt like i was watching a Hallmark film in my head. i could not help but notice some of the the things that had to do with the jw life 4 example:

Chevy Cavalier station wagon = pioneer mobile LOL

Fuck this heat! And fuck these fucking sunglasses! = ahh i've experience this all to well in FLA especially in FS

The stranger, neatly attired in a pair of Dockers, knit shirt, and deck shoes,= yep those are the dubs alright

Also the connection with JW child abuse mentioned in ur story

Bravo Abandoned, Bravo

Almost Athesis: awe man sorry i could not come back to this thread in time my little sis was buggin' me to take her to the mall but i can't complain at least we did not go in FS today but i will look in to that and try to get more questions

Snowbird:tnx 4 da complement fo shizzle ma nizzle i've also wondered how many ppl come across this article too. the lady in the vid just makes me think of black angry apostate lol in my opinon its rarely unheard of in the black community 2 be an athesis but with this lady i don't she knows where she stands or if she even belives in a god. just my 2 cents

I was asking myself what does jehovah mean to me and do i really belive what he stand for etc,etc i was trying to reassure myself by looking up the word Jehovah w/o using the WT publications for once(i was thinking that i would find something along the lines of Jah is good and our protector and savior etc,etc,) until i went to wikipedia and on youtube i came across this video that this lady put up on youtube.
