The Board

i have decided to spend less time on this board because of its explicit content.

i could take the time to wipe the floor with alanf who knows next to nothing about the papacy.

but we have decided to spare poor alan this time.

I also notice that there is now talk about the possibility of terrorist action being carried out by ex-jws.

the only terrorism is that wrought by some jehovah's witnesses and the entire watchtower bible and tract society.

i don't think 'comfort through discomfort' is accurate. what it is, actually, is people finally free to speak the truth, which we already know is something the wts and its proponents cannot handle. just for the record, if there really was such a thing as 'armageddon', which there is not, i would rather perish is a ball of fire than live forever on blisstonia with a bunch of boring movementarians.

adieu.

:: how witnesses abuse their children::

(in addition to the pedophelia, of course).

these comments are all based on the sum of my and others experiences as one of jehovah's wtnesses:.

this system of things was going to end soon anyway!

My heart truly goes out to you. Realize that you do have friends here who want and need to hear your experiences because it helps others heal as much as you. I know and can feel your pain and anger directed at the WTBTS.

if i can make one person feel better because of my 'shared' experience, or better yet, if i can convince a questioning jw to walk away from the wts, i am happy! :)

thank you, too. it is gratifying and heartwarming (and sad), to read all these posts. it feels like that scene in 'close encounters', where richard dreyfuss sees others like himself walking off of the mother ship. i'm so glad i found this place; a place where the *real* truth can come out. i think of jw children every time i hear this song:

The Unforgiven - Metallica

New blood joins this earth
and quickly he's subdued
through constant pain, disgrace
the young boy learns their rules

with time the child draws in
this whipping boy done wrong
deprived of all his thoughts
the young man struggles on and on he's known
a vow unto his own
that never from this day
his will they'll take away

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never free
never me
so I dub thee unforgiven

they dedicate their lives
to running all of his
he tries to please them all
this bitter man he is
throughout his life the same
he's battled constantly
this fight he cannot win
a tired man they see no longer cares
the old man then prepares
to die regretfully
that old man here is me

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never be
never see
won't see what might have been

what I've felt
what I've known
never shined through in what I've shown
never free
never me
so I dub thee unforgiven

you labeled me
I'll label you
so I dub thee unforgiven."

what we felt, and what we knew, was never allowed to shine through. but now we are free and learned how to survive without the borg to support us, and we learned how to overcome many of the obstacles and phobias wired into us, and they can't take that away from us. thank you, all of you guys, for your thoughts. i love you guys too.

Too much bad language, sex & pics

by Simon in

jw
friends

please can everyone think twice before they make posts containing bad language (even if not directed at individuals), graphic sex talk and nude or semi-nude pictures (especially if explicit).

this is not what the forum is here for.

if you want to post stuff like that then there are lots of places on the internet for it and, more importantly, if people want to see and read stuff like that then they are quite capable of going to these places themselves.. i know everyone likes to 'let their hair down' now and again, me included, and i like pictures of sexy women as much as anyone .

Incense_and_Peppermints

ooh i agree wiht you a thousand percent. i just come here to share my experience with other ex-jw's and meet other 'apostates' (the jw's word, not mine) and see what made them leave. i couldn't care less what jw's think of me, nor do i feel it's up to me to save any of them. do they feel that way about us? nope. when the wtc was going down, my jw sister was happy, and said, and i quote, 'good. maybe they'll all kill each other.' i hung up on her. i think she forgot who she was talking to. or something. and i seriously doubt some little jw child is reading these posts - first of all they are so brainwashed they wouldn't have the gumption to even go near a computer - second of all their mommies and daddies watch them like hawks, any ex knows that. i will respect simon's request because that is his wish and apparently this is his board, but not because i want to censor myself because 'some witness might be reading these.' screw them! what the h@#$ is any jw doing here anyway, mingling with ex-jw's, estranged (spiritually weak) jw's, or apostates? errrr..... p.s. welcome. i'm new too.

i like this board because it *is* organized well, and monitored to prevent straying too far off a topic or inane spamming. i have been to one other board that was not monitored and it wasn't pretty. i personally don't have a problem with anything anyone has to say or post, i just don't keep reading or looking at things that don't interest me. but i do realize that there have to be some guidelines to facilitate discussion and sharing of feelings and maintain some semblance of order, so i support simon (or whoever's) request. it is extremely gratifying to express my feelings about my experience in the watchtower society and not feel judged in any way. and this small restriction doesn't make me feel that i can't express myself in any way, and if i want to rant or talk about sex or something, this board is structured very well to facilitate that. thankyouthankyouthankyou

and i must add this comment:

we must remember that it is monitored by the Watchtower and others. When we get a bit too raunchy, as all of us do, it only serves their purpose and they can point fingers and show how being an exJW leads to "debauchery."

personally i stopped caring what the wts thought a long time ago. who gives a crap what they think or feel, or about their perceptions of myself or 'apostates' or exes as a whole. the wts can kiss my a$$

thank you.

What does it take to prove that you really do love someone? And what does it take to prove this to that person?

the mystery of the orgasm...please help me!

by kat7302 in

without going into too much of my personal life here cos i really do have great sex!!!!!

basically, being brought up to believe that masturbation was wrong i think has affected my adult sex life!

hard to type this without being physically sick but whenever i masturbated wen i was young,i always felt if i didnt cum,i hadnt sinned as much!

Incense_and_Peppermints

wow. how awful. you deserve to have an earth-shattering orgasm, you know. i won't even begin to psychoanalyze you 'cause they jacked me up too. thankfully, i never had that problem. have you tried watching an adult dvd, one with things that turn you on? sometimes if you are really really turned on, you can cum very easily. just tell yourself 'this is all for me'. lock the doors, light a candle, take off all your clothes and pop in the video. that alone should excite you enough. put all thoughts of the wts out of your mind, all thoughts of guilt. if it doesn't work the first time, keep trying. repetition got you into this condition, and it seems that if you repeat a different set of actions, it could break you out of it and you can begin to enjoy life and its many joys and pleasures.

the distance thing

by wonderwoman77 in

well i have not posted this on here yet, but i went and met that girl and we had the best weekend.

it was so amazing.

everything felt right about it.

Incense_and_Peppermints

"When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions
May wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
As the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you
So shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth
So is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses
Your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and
Shake them in their clinging to the earth."

The Prophet by Gibran Kahlil Gibran

go for it. what does distance matter? Love can overcome all obstacles, you'll see.
