how can you have a genuine relationship with someone if you are deprived of the ability to tell them what's in your heart?
Tell me about it. If you find the answer, let me know!
i've recently been reunited with some close family and friends having been away from them for some time in another country.
to begin with, i was a little apprehensive as to how they would treat me.
they don't know the extent of my feelings or knowledge (or what i've been up to!

some here have had the bonus of their mate leaving with them.
unfortunately, my wife is die-hard.
everything in the org makes sense and if it don't, thats fine too.
I was the first to wake up in our marriage. The hardest thing is exercising patience. When you are in control of your own mental exit, you can pace things so they are as comfortable as possible, that's hard to gauge with a partner.
two fabulous individuals who bring such a lot to this forum!.
have a fantastic day together .
heres to many more x. love paula and kev x.
Happy anniversary! How many years? x
this is a preliminary summary only.
i hope to obtain more details later.. .
all five cases are still within the criminal justice system.
Legal argument for the accused was presented by lawyers representing the Watchtower Society, including that the accused did not exist.
Interesting. I would think that the defense was that the accused cannot indivdually be identified as they are a composite group, or some other such BS.
lately i've been finding it more and more difficult to keep up a front.. .
before i learned the tatt i was the mover and shaker of our family.
i would study with the kids.
I second wannabefree's advice.
I broke the news to my husband by reading aloud passages of Steve Hassan's first book Combatting Cult Mind Control. A couple of days later he was tempted to throw the book in the fire.
my daughter, ali, is back in the hospital.
probably something wrong with her pacemaker.
she had a cold with a bad cough last week, and a lead may have come loose.
Get well soon Ali. x

I really feel for you because I was there four years ago. It took me almost a year to build up to speak to my husband about it and we had a hard few months. He is out mentally too now and we are coming to the end of our fade.
It took me so long because I had to come to terms with things myself and allow my anger to subside a bit. If I had splurged it all out at the beginning with the intense rage I felt, I don't think it would have worked. I do remember coming home from meetings and feeling overwhelmed by rage; I remember one day in particular I curled up into a ball and wailed.
My advice would be to take it slowly and ask questions, don't tell him anything. He has to come to the conclusions himself.
PM me if you want to chat. I don't know if you're in the U.S, U.K or elsewhere but if you need to speak to someone on the phone, I'd be happy to exchange numbers or skype names.

Our old mate Gumby's on there http://www.google.co.uk/
once people have come in, and the doorman and the mic men are in place, why are there a few other suits scattered about at the back?
i saw a guy get up, sit down, get up, sit down, get up and when i looked what he was up to he was reading the noticeboard and looking around, waiting for a bus.
i figured he wasn't doing much at that point, but anything to not stay seated.
Makes them feel important.
i would like to "hear" your comments, good or bad.
thanks!.
