  I just want to say how much I hate the f***ing cult

  by Confuzzled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i posted here a few times some months back about my jw bf, and i'm glad i did because i was on the fence about the whole thing.

  i had to stop because the nature of his profession might have brought him here, and the details i had given it wouldn't have taken much to figure out who i was talking about.

  i still lurk though, daily.. i hate this.

  Welcome Confuzzled. I am very sorry for your situation.

  Being a born-in and having family still in the Cult, I understand. I just spoke with my Mom this morning and yesterday and I had to lay down yesterday and take a nap and just zone out. I wanted to bang my head on the wall after talking with her. Most of our conversation was JW related and why I won't go back and my fighting with her on why I won't. ERRRR, ARRRRGGGHHH.

  I sent her the Crisis of Conscience book and she read it and declared it Apostate and evil. (sigh). Trying to get those tentacles out of their heads is, as you are finding, almost impossible.

  Please keep reading here. Do not get involved with those mind bending Cultists. It seems easy to say "I won't get sucked in", yet, look at Katie Holmes and others who become Stepford Wives for their husbands, all in the name of *love*.

  Tea Partiers Say They Would Absolutely Abolish Social Security

  please, please, please let the libertarians, republicans and their offshoot the tea party, run on this issue.

  oh my heavens what a joy it would be to line up all the runners and tell half of the americans - the vast majority of those who actually live on their social security, that they want to take it away.

  abolish it.

  Hmmm, given the horsepower of a Prius and my current car, I might as well go with a horse-drawn buggy. I'm not going electric unless it's a Tesla.

  Perhaps the Amish way isn't so bad. I wouldn't have to shave my legs or armpits and would really save on other beauty treatments. And, I have been trying to grow out my hair. Longer does seem better.

  Given their vegetarian Paradise Picture, why haven't the JWs gone after PETA?

  Think about the publicity! PETA for Jehovah!

  Finally got my memorial invitation

  by keyser soze in

  i had a message left on my cell phone letting me know about the memorial on tuesday night.

  it was some local elder whom i've never met.

  i can only guess that he got my cell number from my oldest brother.. i found it rather condescending the way he actually described to me what the memorial was, as if i'd never attended one before.

  I got mine in an e-mail, telling me that I needed to reconnect with Jehovah and what a wonderful opportunity it would be for my husband to learn about the JWs. And, as an added plus, since so many people go to Memorial, it might not even be in the KH!!

  Whoopee!!

  I declined with my silence.

  I'll drink a glass of good red wine at home and have a toast with my husband as we watch TV.

  in the following statements, rock musicians testify of an outside power that has taken over them while writing and performing rock music.

  some of them have actually identified this power as demonic: .

  Obviously, which is why many of us are here.

  We've heard Satan's Siren Song and climbed on board.

  I first heard his sweet voice at my first concert. It was REO Speedwagon. I knew then that I had to leave the grip of the JWs and become an apostate. Why?

  I wanted to R-O-C-K.

  See how simple Satan is?

  Snow

  Cold evenings with the bedroom windows open

  Fireplaces on, burning wood

  Firepits in the yard

  Smores

  Chicago style Pizza (best)

  Chicago style Hot Dogs

  Italian Beef Sandwiches

  Driving in snow

  Wearing thongs (feet) in the snow

  Watching the leaves turn in the fall

  Watching the buds come out in the spring

  Change of seasons
