  well, its been about 2 1/2 years and have slowly done less and less.

  i've been to about 30 minutes of a meeting in the last month and a half where i stayed out back and with my daughter.. i've been looking for the right timing to leave but had decided i will go anyways by the time my daughter is about 1 years old.

  but, it just so happens that my some members of my family including and mostly my parents have actually given me a good enough of an excuse to get out.. they have broken to many rules.

  Oh, how she looked. She was beautiful. What curves and turns she had. She would purr like a finely tuned machine. Always inching closer and closer never leaving anything untouched. After about 90 minutes she had reached her climax and I had done the same. I was done. My first time on a zero turn lawn mower.

  Damn...my memory is fading..I remember a David Martin, I think, and that's it. I left as soon as the new one was appointed and do not remember anyone prior to Martin unless I would see their name then I would know.

  Meeting experience

  by gutted in

  this weeks service meeting was typical.. "where were you?

  " "i'm concerned about you".

  then the typical song and dance of the parts/talks, all recycled notions of doing better in the service.

  The no beard or facial hair rule

  by Soldier77 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  okay, something that has always been a side point but still a rather ridiculous rule is that brothers cannot "serve" if they have a beard/goatee/anything more than just a moustache.

  at least in the states, i've heard of some congregations in some countries allow this, but they are the exception?

  your experience?.

  This is what prompted me thinking and the reason for my departure. I asked them to show me proof scripturally. There was none. However, I did show them a scripture in Leviticus that says that you should not shave your beard, or sumthin' like that. They said we are not bound by those scriptures anymore..WTF!! They keep throwing Leviticus when it comes to tattoos.

  Face it..this is not a religion it is a mens club gone wild, er, crazy.. They are all power trippin'..

  If I'm so intelligent how did I get drawn in to it all?

  by Lozhasleft in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i consider myself an intelligent woman...maybe not strong on the 'common sense' front, but academically i've done pretty well...so...how on earth did i not see through it all when i was studying in the beginning???.

  i remember worrying about their 'sales pitching' styles and their arrogance of believing they had the 'truth' ...but still i got involved and became totally immersed in it all.

  i feel like i sacrificied our whole family to them, who now shun me.. yesterday, my new son in law, he's a lawyer, asked me how i could have believed it wasnt a cult (topical word this week here) he said he didnt understand how i could have been persuaded to believe it all and trust them with so much and for so many years...... i feel ashamed of myself that i did and that i brought all this upon our family...anyone else relate?.
