the other day, in your thread, i was 'pulling your chain' a bit.

with that comment to you... and sunspot annie grinned and knew.

i was kidding, because she knows me.. no.. i do not believe in leaving the kult quietly... and slinking away.... they do way too much damage and need to be called for it.. consequences.. below is an exchange of emails with an x-dub i do not know,.

I cannot express in words the amount of anger I feel right now. I'm just...damn. I pray that my daughter never has to go through this. My mother is a hardcore JW and I think she gets the idea of me being Wiccan. I feel for this guy and I really hope that the psychologist can help him out. My next order of business, if I were him, would be to get a restraining order against the grandparents for child endangerment. If the psychologist is any good this should be a fairly easy process.
He must realize, as I had to, that family traditions start with the parents. I had to accept the fact that because of the WTS I would never have a close knit family like the "wordly" folks I knew. I am now "making" family traditions that I will pass on to my daughter. Even at 11 months I'm teaching her things that I can only hope she passes on to her children. Sorry if this sounds like inate babbling I'm just really pissed off as I can only imagine what I would do had this been my daughter.

Its time for me to Leave

this is goodbye from me folks!.

my son keeps taunting me saying are you on that jo bo site again.

it is true, i have spent too much time here, staring into the computer screen waiting for a revelation or something to catch my interest or imagination.. when i think about all that time and all those years spent as a watchtower slave, well it does leave you empty and with time on your hands dont it?.

Well it seems that you traded one controlling aspect of your life (WTS) for another (this site). I don't think the problem lies with this site it lies with you. If posting here has became a problem in your life then maybe it is time to address your obvious addictive personality. There is also a great difference between being controlled by the WTS and posting here. This is mostly a place for healing and just general BS'ing. It is only different from other message boards in that most of us have something in common. That something happens to be the WTS. The only way to help others and ourselves is to talk about things. I found this site by accident one night while I had a wild hair up my ass. I had not even thought about the JW's for almost 3 years. However, I'm glad that I did find it because it has helped tie up loose ends (so to speak) that were lingering in my subconscious. Now I just come here to help others and BS much like I do on other message boards that have nothing to do with the WTS. Sorry you feel the need to leave but I do hope you address the addictive personality you have because after you leave here you'll just replace it with something else.

Dear Lord, please save me from your followers.

Do you beleive in God, the bible or religion?

by Leander in

jw

i'm pretty sure this question has probably been asked before but i'd like to put it out here and see what the responses are.

my doubts about the bible probably began maybe 6 or 7 years ago, they were very small ones however and i managed to supress them for quite a while.

however certain events in my life would make those events resurface.

Well obviously my bio would give a big fat NO to the bible. There are far too many inconsistencies and blatant copies of earlier religions to make the Bible the word of God. The very word God carries the connotation of a patriarchal being. I don't believe the Divine is so simply defined. Which is why I choose to worship the two aspects of feminine and masculine. This is a way for me to relate to an omnipotent being or force which is more than likely not a carrier of either gender aspects. The teachings of Jesus as we know them by the writings of other people (Jesus never wrote anything in the Bible) are somewhat easy to follow because they would be considered tautologies (simple truths). Other religions taught the same things but they rarely deified the insturctors the way christianity has.
Too me religion is nothing more than a tool to help people with their spiritual needs. Some need it some don't. But there has been an increase of attitude that the religion is more important than the people it tries to teach.

Demons and Seances....What do you think?

i posted this in part on another thread, but am curious to know if anyone else has had experiences with seances.. my mum told me her story:.

it was her aunty may apparantly.

things started getting out of hand.

Well my viewpoint comes from the witches Law of Three. Whatever you put forth will be returned to you threefold. You want to believe the spirits are evil they will come to you three times evil. Sort of a cause and effect theory. It also runs along the lines of Karma.

What Friggin' Hypocrites!!

what's up folks?

nice to see you all still hanging out.. here's what has me pissed this morning:.

there's this elder who i've know since i was about 8. he was one of these super spiritual m.s.

gsx1138

Way to go Patriot. I wish I had a friend when I was DF'd. You do still have to be careful in not allowing him to just use you but I think his world has just crumbled away. More than likely he is in a state of confusion and depression. Get him to jump here and meet most of us as I think this place is excellent for supporting one another. Kudos to you for being a "real" loving person and not embracing the conditional love that the JW have.

Well, as a practicing Wiccan I can tell you that most things can be scientifically explained. I would prefer to try and explain things with science until it is not possible then use supernatural explanations. I do notice that it is mostly christians that encounter "demons". Perhaps the overwhelming belief that christians have in demons gives them the power to make their presence felt. Since I have completely stopped all belief in the Bible and christianity I have not even felt a hint of evil around me. Where as, when I was a JW I had a few unexplainable events happen that were pretty damn scary.
Praying to the Goddess and/or God everyday seems to do just fine for me. I can't pass judgement on your first story but I have heard many JW urban legends about invoking the name of Jehovah to drive out evil. Sorry but I think all of them were complete crap.

DATELINE DATE

someone on another board posted that the long awaited dateline story will air may 28. i don't know how she knows she just posted it and so i thought i would put it here in case someone else has heard something.

When are all of you going to learn that God's chosen organization is above reproach. Any true witness know that a television is nothing but "THE DEVIL'S EYE". Anything coming from "THE DEVIL'S EYE" are merely lies and trickery. As for myself I'll be about two feet away from "THE DEVIL'S EYE" when the show airs. Hopefully my mother still has her email account so I can mail her about the time the show airs but then again she may have dropped it because it's "THE DEVIL'S INTERNET".

Jesus' Death-Stake or Cross?

by Dutchie in

jw
friends

ive always wondered about the controversy regarding whether jesus died on a cross or on a stake.

whats the difference anyway?

his execution was simply the way the romans put people to death.

gsx1138

Well considering there is very little evidence that Jesus even existed the point may be moot anyway. Assuming he did, that raises the other questions. The Romans never buried slaves or criminals who were killed. This would go against what the Bible is teaching. As far as the stake vs. the cross. I have to say it really doesn't matter. Had he really been killed by a donkey cart would everyone be wearing a small donkey cart around their neck?
