Just as a side-note....I've recently picked up the green book (Jehoobah's Witnesses, Proclaimers of God's Kingdom) at the request of a jw family member. I am shocked as to how lightly they play certain issues, such as 1914 & 75. I'm only a little bit through it, but jeez louise its kinda makin me wanna puke

Very confused-help please
by hatchetsup injust found this board late last night and can't stop reading, it's fascinating.. let me give you a quick background of myself.
i was born a jw, never baptized, was labeled bad association when i was 12 due to having all worldy friends and smoking, lol.
i was very confused how being that young i could be labelled as that but i was.

Yes, deprogram...that's a tough one. Its tough to quit calling it "the truth" when making simple sentences.... its little things/statements like these that keep us mentally "in". There are many truths, and you need to find the one that feels best in your heart. Crisis of Conscience is definitely a must read. Welcome to the board! You are certainly not alone anymore :-) ....and while some go through phases of anger on here (myself included), many of us just want to love and be loved. You will be just fine

Does anyone know when this magazine will be available to the public? I haven't been over to my family's house in awhile and would love to know when that magazine will be sitting around in their living room.

PAGAN.....and other JW Curse Words....
by homeschool ini remember working at a banquet hall/resturant, and it was just around the time when the jw teachings/actions weren't sitting well with me.
but my mind was still very much a jw.
a lady, whom i clicked with & whom i'd hung out with a few times, came up to me one day and said "homeschool, there's a couple things i wanted to tell you.

I hate that those poor babies and animals are suffering
This came from goveg.com ..... what do YOU think?
Meat Means Misery for the World's Hungry
Our meat-based diet is partly to blame, as land, water, and other resources that could be used to grow food for human beings are being used to grow crops for farmed animals instead. According to a recent report by Compassion in World Framing, "[c]rops that could be used to feed the hungry are instead being used to fatten animals raised for food." It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of edible animal flesh. -

Sending Out a Letter to My JW Daughter - Give Me Your Thoughts Please
by flipper insome of you probably read my jw daughter's letter to mrs. flipper and me a few weeks ago where she tried explaining to mrs. flipper why she doesn't have anything to do with me ( says i talk negative towards the organization ) .
in that letter though she showed some flashes of her authentic, kind personality and told us she loves us.
but much of the letter was proselytizing to us about how bad the system is and how jeovah will bring a paradise, etc.

I was going to comment the same way as Jamie Bowers....my old jw mind answered quickly and automatically when you mention the question about the ten years/twenty years? comment.
To be honest, a tear just came to my eyes when I read that. I think its a letter showing true, sincere, unconditional love.

Does this site only make you angrier?
by homeschool inhubby says this site is making me obsessed, in a way that's making me angrier and angrier about jw's.
it's been almost every single day that i read a thread that seriously gets under my skin or makes me sick about them.
he's right, there's a lot on here that will only fuel my fire and help me to go into an angry spiral instead of bettering my life and forgetting about all the stuff i hate about the witnesses.

Thanks for all the comments. I'm just trying to stay aware so I dont get totally wrapped up with things that I'm not personally going through (that's hard to do!) while still caring
