Hi everyone. Today I turn 25! My friends are throwing me a party. This is the first time that anyone has thrown me a party. When I was a witness I never knew that I was missing out by not celebrating my birthday. I will also be getting a huge tattoo of a dragon on my back to commemorate my 25th. I'm so excited and happy! Just thought I'd share with you all.......

Buddha Wisdom.

by AK - Jeff in

in a passage taken from culomolunkya suttais number 63 in the majjhimanikaya.

buddha is speaking here:.

suppose, malyunkyaputta, a man were wounded by an arrow thickly smeared with poison, and his friends and companions brought a surgeon to treat him.

That was awesome. Makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing!

Where was the joy they kept taling about

by heybaby in

ok, so i have been thinking about my time as a jw (i'm fading out - read my other posts for background info).

you know how you always hear how the ministry will bring so much joy and contentment, yadda yadda yadda?

i always hated service...always!!

LunaFing

I never felt the love and joy I was supposed to feel either.

rejection

by beerose in

hi all, newbe here!

around 4 years ago i started a study with a jw lady.i didn't tell her this, but i was sexually abused at the age of 4 untill i was able to get away from them!

i went through life being angry,and i smoked pot so i could forget about the pain.my moms a jw and so is my brother,so i believed what they teach to be true!

LunaFing

Welcome Beerose! I was abused as achild as well so I know how you feel. I was mistreated by a lot of people in the Kingdom Hall as a teenager. I had a lot of emotional problems stemming from the abuse. I'm glad you didn't get sucked in. They are a bunch of hypocrites!

Thanks everyone for your kind words. my sister called me today while I was at work and caught me completely off guard. I told her that it really hurt me that I wasn't invited to her wedding and she said it hurt her as well, but that her relationship with Jehovah was more important than any other relationship. Her reason for not inviting me is that I was reproved ten years ago and have not tried to make up for it. She told me that reproved people aren't allowed to attend JW social gatherings. I told her that that didn't make any sense. I'm not DF'd. So to make a long story short, I told her that I hated her stupid religion for tearing families apart, told her to leave me alone and never to call me again and hung up on her. :( I didn't mean to do that. I love her and I don't want to hurt her, but she caught me off guard . I've been an emotional wreck for the past two days because of her and I couldn't help it. I feel so bad.

I feel like writing her a nasty letter and give her a reason to shun me! After reading your posts, I may not. Thanks guys! :D
