  Honestly, I think that just comes with time.

  For me, I was so terrified of these questions. Over the years, as I got away from the cult more and more I began little by little viewing them as silly.

  IMO, just give yourself some time....

  YOUR DAILY JOURNAL

  dear friends,.

  much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.

  however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

  Dear Cc,

  I miss this thread... How have you been?

  My Nana is in the hospital. I'm worried. Not sure she will make it out....

  As happy as I am, there's been a lot of hard doors to walk through lately....

  Warm regards,

  so, here's some news from my country.

  there was this 20 year old jw girl who was a rookie driver.

  she was in the car with her parents and for some reason decided to cross a railroad right before a train was coming.

  Fink- There's been a lot of backlash with their construction initiatives.

  But if they are wagering their real estate investments as the answer to their economic sustainability, maybe in the past, I wouldn't think now they are.

  Fink- 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  No, my answer is the same. It's a combination of things.

  omg, I knew you'd find my post. 😂😂😂😂😂

  As much as it aggravates the hell out of you that you can't understand my reasoning, I still stand behind what I say.... 😂😂😂

  A question .....

  hi guys - new poster here.

  i was brought up a jw in the uk and stopped going not long after i was married.

  that was 20 years ago so i'm not really up to date with the current doctrinal flip flops or the new youtube obsessed gb.. came across this site while googling the name of a local elder who's just been convicted of possesion of a pc full of unpleasant pics of kids.. so, my question.

  Landry- Don't do this round about answering thing where you avoid the question. You quoted JW-Rogues post and then stated, "One of the few things I've learned in this life is that first and foremost you have to be true to yourself. If you can't be true to yourself then you can't be true to anyone else."

  You state someone isn't being true to themselves but in the same breath you say you understand their reasons for doing it. imo, that is judgement all and condescending. Don't take us for idiots. Don't tell someone they aren't being true to themselves but you, "understand".

  I call BS on this...
