  Awesome story! Thanks for sharing that with us and taking the time and effort to put it out there.

  Yes, I recognize several of the feelings, even though I've been out 20 or more years. I got out just about the time you are now. I hated being in the world, because I felt really alone, but at the same time, I "had nowhere else to go" because I didn't want to live my life in a vacuum anymore, on a path of false hope.

  I was very unnerved about the actions of some people in the world, but that was because I was so sheltered, and monitored, and "militarized" that I believed that everyone should be acting like they lived in the 1800's! What was my normal, wasn't normal to the majority of people. It took a few years to work out the social interactions, but after awhile it comes naturally.

  Good luck to you!

  LL:

  Just because they are of a specific religion does not exclude them from "hate crimes" jurisdiction. I am sure if you contacted teh DA for your specifc area, he would see that it was a "hate crimes" prosecution, which would be upped to felony levels. These bullies have to be stopped, if even at the local level.

  Pressing charges against the individuals would show that people are not going to be putting up with the bullying tactics of a religious group. It's one thing to have your religion and follow it; it becomes a crime when because people don't believe what you do anymore, they will be subjected to vandalism.

  I think you are perfectly fine in pressing charges against them. No one would put up with this in the "real world" nor should you.

  Good luck.

  Dear Walter:

  I was very sorry to read about your Mother's passing. Your tribute to her was so heartfelt and compassionate, just as her dedication to her family was! She went through alot in her time on Earth, and even though she was a JW, I'm sure the promised New World provided her some measure of comfort and peace. She sounds like she was a very lovely and enduring lady, a Mother who loved her children more than the evil doctrine of shunning issued by a Godless man-made organization! Know you are in our thoughts and prayers, Walter. Your friends CG and husband.

  Mother's Love

  There are times when only a Mother's love Can understand our tears, Can soothe our disappointments And calm all of our fears. There are times when only a Mother's love Can share the joy we feel When something we have dreamed about Quite suddenly is real. There are times when only a Mother's faith Can help us on life's way And inspire in us the confidence We need from day to day. For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith And a Mother's steadfast love Were fashioned by the Angels And sent from God above. Michael Olakunle Adesanya

  What do you think the biggest danger to the end of mankind or earth is?

  by free2beme in

  2. friends

  i love watching shows on the history channel, discovery channel and so on.

  they had this program on the other day, on the ten biggest threats to mankind and the planet earth.

  surprisingly, none of the items on the list were god destroying mankind or the earth, so that must be further evidence that the witnesses were wrong, go to college now and retire.

  During the last year, I was watching the Motel show on a Wednesday (the day she is on there) and she responded to a woman in the audience who had a picture of an angel that her alleged "aunt" had taken out of an airplane window. Sylvia said this was her aunt's guardian angel. However, this picture has been on various ghost sites on the Internet for years and it is claimed by everyone and their dog that "this picture was taken by my ________ <insert aunt/close personal friend/uncle, etc., here) while flying from ________ to ________. The picture was later determined to be a hoax. I wrote Montel's show, but no word back. The same episode was aired again later.

  just a little breaking news:.

  after several years of a great friendship with diane (previously posted as xena) things have started to really come together recently and i've succumbed to making an honest woman of her (or at least as honest as it's possible to make her.

  last night (xmas day) i popped the question and she agreed to marry me (i wonder if she knows what she's let herself in for!!!)..

  my husband and i are throwing around the idea of moving to a different state.

  nothing is set in stone yet, but some changes in his career may allow for us to move wherever we like in the u.s. i love washington state, but i would like to move somewhere a little warmer.

  i've lived in washington all my life and i need a little help in learning about the rest of the u.s.. so convince me to move to your state.

  Texas. Nuff said. (Typical Texan to say *that*!). LOL!

  Texas is temperate in the winter; and hot as blazes in the summer. Several major cities with good employment rates. Vast areas of beautiful timberland in the East (The Big Thicket); vast areas of desert in the West (for the desert lover in you!); mountains in the West; beaches in the South; and prairie to the North; Central Texas has the hills, rivers, and lakes, with Austin (state capitol) the centerpiece (Keep Austin Wierd is their unofficial motto.)

  Cheap houses; no state tax; and a fierce pride in their heritage that is as palpable as the state is large. Oh.. and I might add: there's the largest nest of apostates down here with regular apostofests that are lots of fun!

  I hope you find the place that makes you and hubby very happy! Good luck!

  My First Shunning ...

  a former good friend of mine (devout jw still) came into where i work.

  i knew she was there, so i went right up to her and said, "hi".

  she said "hi" with sort of a sick look on her face, and i said "how are you?".

  While I was never DF'd or formally DA'd myself. My brothers wife and her family shunned me after I be became inactive and affiliated myself with the Bible Students.

  Funny thing is, as I told my brother, what right have they have to judge me before the Society even has? I later confronted them.

  My sister-in-law who walked down the aisle pregnant after living with my brother for six months. Her sister who I believe was attempting to start her own United Nations, by having five kids out of wedlock, by five different men and nationalities. A regulat rainbow coalition. Her younger sister who actually did porno. Her two brothers, one who married a pioneer sister because he got her pregnant, and the other who caught herpes, hmmmm I wonder how?

  So what happened when you confronted them?

  The news I've been waiting almost 12 years to hear

  so, i'm out of the organization and have been for about 7 years now but my parents and sister are still in.

  i'm about apostate as you can possibly get but for some reason my family still talks to me on pretty regular basis (note to all of you trying to leave out there, make the crazy cult issue your loved ones issue, its nothing for you to be ashamed of).

  i called my sister tonight to talk about work and it was one of the best conversations i've had in years.

  Sometimes the avenge (karma) that we have been waiting for all of our lives, when it is fulfilled and the price is paid, is not as sweet as we thought it would be. You must have had a lot of hate in your heart for this person to not feel sorry for the person when they are dying. I hope (and i don't say this with ANY judgment at all upon your character or motives) that the active thought of him lying in pain and dying was enough to put an end to the power he has had in your life for all these years. I hope that you achieve serenity and peace as a result.
