Besty Unplugged - My Life Story Part II

by besty in

<<part i. i dont recall discussing the great disappointment of 1975 as a family.

i was only 5 and my older and wiser brother was 8. what i can remember was the muted sense of excitement we both felt in 1977. shortly after elvis died my dad announced we were moving off the island back to the scottish mainland.

i didnt connect the death of elvis with our big move, and rightly so.

My life ... and how JWD came to be - Part 5

by Simon in

my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 1. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 2. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 3. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 4. i swear, i thought it was only a couple of years at most since i wrote part 4 of "my life and how jwd came to be".

i re-read it after someone posted to it and brought it back on active topics and it was kind of prophetic in a way ... well, i had the 5 years part right if nothing else:.

it would be nice to visit the site (or whatever one is around then) in 5 years time to let people know how we're doing and find only a few of the same people still around.

Thanks for everything Simon

Your site began my journey

of leaving the "cult" behind

An Open Letter From Jeff

by AllTimeJeff in

but i don't write this for sympathy.

actually, i just thought you all would like to hear how i am doing, esp with a little space now between me and the borg.

(its been 3 years).

Jeff

It does all get better

over time

My anger has left me

I laugh at the craziness

of the cult

The damage that has been done

is done

My lost childhood and

my teen years are gone forever

My years as a young adult

and then as a 30 and 40 something

have passed

The pain and fear that I had

and suffered with (30 years worth)

has become a distant memory

NOW is what counts

As death now approaches me

(not soon I hope) I don't fear it

I have begun to live my life

as I wish. I'm no longer a slave

to a belief system. I'm just another

free man

I have discovered that nothing

much has changed......................

Just my putlook and attitude

by Belly in

jw
friends

ive been lurking this site for quite a while but for some reason never could muster up the courage to post.. let me give a little background on my self.. i am 18 and male an still living with my parents.

i was baptised at 15 basically against my will (by cracking under the pressure) but only truly broke out of the drone like mindswhen i was 17. since then its been totall choas in my life all of it stemming from the orginization of course.

my parents are the defenition of brainwashed wittnesses, my father even belives he is anointed.. after i got baptised i suffered from intense deppression and with a little soul searching, after a year i realized that i need some time for my self.

Did you ever make the wrong career choices?

by Quirky1 in

friends

i know i have had several opportunities to transfer with a prominent position intact and turned them down to family logistics and such.

now that i am older i regret the decisions i made.

i may not have been on easy street but it would have made things a whole lot better.

I agree with Jehovah's Witnesses!

by UnDisfellowshipped in

i agree with jehovah's witnesses!.

(i bet reniaa will be shocked to see this thread!).

to jehovah's witnesses: i commend your zeal for god, your desire for accurate knowledge and truth of the bible, your goals of drawing close to jehovah, and following and obeying christ's teachings, and your time spent studying the bible.

LockedChaos

That which you agree with

is only believed by faith in

the unknowable, unprovable,

myths, and legends

After almost 54 years on this

earth, I prefer belief in that which

I can see, hear, touch, and

substanciate

When theory, insight, and inspiration

are reproducable by others

they then move beyond faith and

hope and into the realm of fact

and truth

Read the latest findings of brain science

Read the current writings from biblical scholars

and theology professors. Learn what they have

known for the last 200 years and have kept

from the R&F membership regarding scripture and

history

My 2 cents

I would like to thank my children......

by awildflower in

......for being so obedient and cooperative during our lives as jw's.

for getting ready for all of those meetings and doing their best to study before hand and comment.

for volunteering to help the elderly and others with yard work and cooking and babysitting.
