  2. friends

  hey folks, so i'm trapped on the couch with a baby that will only sleep directly next to me so i thought i'd do some photshop fun stuff.

  i ended up throwing this on a t-shirt and thought everyone here would get a kick out of it.

  it's on zazzle for cost of the shirt if you want to buy one, i don't have any of these ready made otherwise i'd just send them to you.. http://www.zazzle.com/evil_apostate_tshirt-235340729895953018.

  we sometimes have had threads where people post songs that have a lot of meaning to them after leaving the jw cult.

  one song that is frequently mentioned is hotel california.

  there is another song that is mentioned frequently that is from the last 5 years or so.

  My daughter hated me and her dad

  by thenoblelodge in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was told yesterday by my daughter that when she was younger she hated me and her dad.. she wasn't beaten, she was allowed to play with friends other than jw's, had parties, always had kids round to play, jw and worldlies ( i hate that term).

  i could go on.. the reason she hated us was because we encouraged her on numerous occassions to stay in the borg.. what i find so distressing is, i cannot believe the power we had over her.

  we kept her going in something that was killing her mentally, emotionally and physically and all the time saying 'don't take it out on jehovah, it's not his fault, don't you think he knows what's going on.

  I know exactly how you feel. I look at the life I had before I had my awakening and feel so embarrassed, ashamed and heartbroken at how I was raising my kids. I'm thankful now that they are able to lead a normal life just like everyone else.

  Most Ridiculous Thing You've Ever Been Counseled On

  by MrFreeze in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm sure topics like this have already come up but they tend to get hilarious with the absolute absurdity that goes on in the kh.

  i was once counseled for not shaving after two days.

  i was also counseled by a sister for eating lucky charms cereal.

  My sister was counseled for wearing a shirt to the KH that had a design of an 'anchor' on it. It was a shirt with a nautical theme.

  my mother was very strict about entertainment.

  in school i was doing a project about teen suicide and had checked out some books on suicide and abortion.

  i had alot of explaining to do for that.

  When I was a kid, my mom was somewhat lax as far as entertainment went. She is much stricter with her grandchildren, doesn't allow them to watch the "Avatar-last airbender", Yu-gio(spelling?), or some Scooby-Do episodes-you know how much magic and scorcery those shows have. It's ridiculous.

  The funny thing is that she loves "Southpark"!! Isn't that one of the crudest-but hilarious- shows on TV?

  i am new to this board after lurking for awhile (thanks so much for creating this place simon, and for everyone's shared thoughts!).

  i am going crazy because i have recently allowed myself to begin thinking (and it is so fun!

  ) and i am an outspoken person, and it is very hard for me to keep my opinions and discoveries about this place under my hat!

  Welcome!!!

  Don't do it-yet. Continue to do research and inform yourself about the real "truth". You will see that sharing that information with others cold turkey very rarely works. You must proceed slowly to help others learn. It's difficult to do but worth the effort.
