oh mate do i get what you are saying!
i am thrilled for all the great things going on
in your life and wish you the very best!i am in the midst of a much delayed spring cleaning
and trying to sort out what exactly is clotting my life!lo and behold a very crowded and disorganized closet
has been harboring two HEAVY boxes of old WTS crap!i too am saddened about how wasted was time and
energy and opportunity whilst running the b0rg's
hamster wheel, how cheated my children were...jesus tap-dancing christ! such assinine things !
there is a spiral bound isaiah book with notes
from a B/S we attended in auckland whilst on HOLIDAY!!!you can almost use the book layers like an archeological dig
to determine the beginning of the end, in terms of our drifting TM ...
dog-eared books heavily studied to convention releases never openeddupes! rubes! pawns!!!!!!!
free dump day is coming up in mid october...
guess what the first boxes on the trailer are!!it really mystifies me at times how this crap
got so squirreled away in so many corners
of our lives.... i am not EVEN going to mention
it to the kids since it would set them off on a
pissy rant i just dont have the energy to listen to atm!
(gotta save that energy for cleaning!) -

Tonight I hid in the pet food section at the grocery store
by JerkhovahsWitless ini went to the grocery store tonight to get some supplies for the small party (with a few jw friends) i'm having this weekend.
while trying to find the aisle with the canned vegetables, i spot them, at the back of the store in dairy... the ancient and insane jw husband and wife duo that goes to my congregation.
it was minutes until 9pm, what were they still doing awake, and out shopping at that?

ex wants to be free to remarry - ugh
by No Apologies inok, i'm sure i am not the first one to be in this predicament but it sure is a headache, my jw ex called a few days ago, apparently she has met someone (they're not dating of course!
) and she wants to me to hand over the golden ticket.
she wants confirmation either in writing or verbally to a third party, that she is "scripturally free" to remarry.. i have managed for years now to avoid any judicial action and my jw family members still associate with me, but that all could come to a screeching halt if i give her what she wants.. the only bright side is she totally robbed me on the divorce; if she gets married i am at least off the hook for "spousal maintenance", that would mean potentially thousands of dollars in my pocket.... .

let HER take one for the team...
she can fornicate, get counseled and/or DF'd
and then get reinstated if she is all fired up to
get marriedthere was a couple in the KH i attended that
did exactly that.... the ex-hub wouldnt give
grounds, so the ex-wife did it another way...and to my knowledge is still an active JW

What do you think - are most ex-JWs atheist, agnostic, or still involved in some form of religion?
by lifelong humanist ini dad 6 years ago because, after a rational search came to the conclusion that there probably is no god.
shortly afterwards, i concluded that (for me) there is no god, which made me feel that i really was a natural-born humanist - a position that i'm entirely comfortable with.
i know that many former jws hold a similar, atheistic viewpoint.

i have settled, for the time being,
to identify as a sentimental deist....heretofore i have always believed
there was a god with an active interest
in the comings and goings of his creation....now, after more education, and the
advancing scientific thresholds to
unlocking the origins of the universe....
it is harder and harder to actually hold
on to that concept of god...any attachment i have to the
concept of a god is purely based
on familiarity and sentimentality.... -

New to Halloween...What do YOU do?
by Bourne ini've never celebrated halloween (too bad none of you live around here - jacksonville fl), but for whatever reason, i have alot of good memories from the anticipation of the various holidays as a child (i'm originally from a state that actually had seasons), even though we as jw's did'nt participate.
i still remember being at friends' houses, seeing them apparently happy and found myself wishing that i could have something to look forward too that was fun and not just the memorial (such a solemn occasion).
i have swore to myself that when (and if) i ever have children that i will celebrate them (the holidays + birthdays) as would want them to have some of the memories that i was denied.. am i making too much of this?.

my kids are all late teens or older
so i cut the ones at home
loose to go to costume
events or whatever....
usually it is a movie night with
scary- a$$ horror stuff....the 21 YO daughter is a total
costume addict so she finds
a masque to attend and has
a great time planning the costume -

We mutually ended my "studies" today
by Janey214 injust wanted to say thanks for all the 'help' some of you have been and all the help some of you have been.. .
we mutually ended studies today, i think my two witnesses realised that they were losing more ground than they gained :-s.. .
eep, i never set out to upset them, but i think they fear they're losing their faith.. .

so if paradise won't happen, what about armargedon?
by highdose init has been recently proved ( as far as i'm concerned) that paradise the jw view of it isn't coming.
scriptual evidence is so thin as to be non exsistent.
ok so what about armargedon then?

no doubt there is an imminent TM destruction of the planet on tap
but it is proceeding on a geologic time scale!the earth is a dynamic sphere with roiling forces competing to hold it
together and tear it apart, so ultimately, shes a’ gonna go poof!
it, and everything on it, is stardust
and unto stardust it shall return
(apologies to ash wednesday fans)in our lifetime? a meteor’s happenstance course
could make it one helluva snuff,
but a deity-induced fit of pique ? really?your grandchildren's grandchildren will be looking at a family history
and saying "look at this, great great grandma was in some kind of a
cult that predicted the world was going to have ended about 98 years ago.....
weird, eh? "
"what was the cult?"
" it says: jehovah's witnesses"
"never heard of them"
"me either"
