I never felt bitterness or anger. I guess everyone is different. But, when I learned the truth about the WT I felt happy and excited, and maybe a little nervous about what to do. But too I lost no family to the organization. I was in it by myself for over 25 years.

ARE YOU AN ANGRY and BITTER APOSTATE?
by Hummingbird001 ini have noticed that there are different reactions to learning the "truth about the truth".
some become quite bitter and angry and become very activist.
others seem to just move on quite easily.. .

Trying to overcome my homophobia.
by Julia Orwell ini had a music album by a gay guy before i was a jw and had no problem listening to it.
it's good music.
some of the lyrics are what you might call 'gay', that is there's some talk about boyfriends, gay bars, and queens and the intolerance the artist encountered as a gay man.

I agree with cantleave. If you can make it to the next gay pride parade near you, it will change your view of gays forever. I've gone to 3 so far in the years since I left the KH. They know how to put on a parade! Love it.

Former Elders? What did you not like about serving as an elder?
by JakeM2012 ina few of my pet peeves were:.
the po/cobe knowing that he needed to have an elders meeting after the meeting but not telling any other elders.
humm, but his wife knew.

Is the Universe Conscious?
by still thinking indoes the universe have a collective consciousness?.
at the sub nuclear level of reality...we are all one.
at the core basis of the universe is a single universal field of intelligence.

Using the word Father far more intimate than saying Jehovah?
by BU2B inthis was one of the things i thought about while i was beginning to think for myself.. who has the more intimate relationship, the coworker of a man who calls him by his first name, or his child who calls him dad, or papa?.
all the emphasis jws put on jehovah blinds them to this simple truth.
what if one of us walked up to our father and said, hey bill!

You have a really great point. I thought about this a lot in the past. I was expected to call my parents by their first names, and we weren't really close. "Dad", "Father", "Mom", "Mother" all seemed like a closer relationship that being on a first name basis with one's parents. Using the name "Jehovah" did not make me feel closer to God. Calling him "Father" always felt closer.

My Partner and I have been together for 10 years today!
by ohiocowboy ini am very proud that we have been together for 10 years!
being raised a jw, it was always hard for me to find a long term relationship.
most people that i met weren't interested in anything long term, and each time one ended, it left me feeling like i would never find someone who shared the same feelings.

The observation deck at the WTC didn't open until 9:30 a.m. in September of 2001. The first plane hit at 8:49 a.m. That means no tourist would have ever had the chance to be on the deck and in danger.
