  Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The witnesses just came to more door, and you know what? My mind went blank, and I couldn't remember a thing you said. I just said, "ya know, Im disfellowshipped so Im good, thank you" the sister clenced her mouth and the brother said "have a nice day"

  I must need more coffee.

  Do you ENJOY these endless theism/atheism - faith/reason - creation/evolution debates?

  .

  sure i get frustrated when i have to explain for the bajillionth time just why atheism is not a belief or why it is possible to know some things with 100% certainty but despite all the exasperations i still count it as one of the rewards of freeing my mind and exiting the wt that i can argue so endlessly and freely.. even if some of you do get on my tits sometimes .

  nic'.

  I agree with snowbird. It really gets nowhere. Although, I do appreciate understanding where another persons viewpoint stems from, debating it, is pointless.

  2. beliefs

  after sending in my da letter the elder that i genuinely like called me this morning.

  i instructed in my letter that if they decided to talk to me they would be limited to only the bible.. i need some thoughts.. i want to go in prepared with points of discrepancy that i can point to directly in the bible...its sad becaus i love the friends its the culti-ness i cant deal with.

  im just glad my family was never in..

  Im finally leaving my jw husband.

  by littlebird in

  some of you know i have struggled with this for awhile.

  i really do believe in marriage and the committment, however, sometimes enough is enough.. his endless preaching at me and calling me and my (adult) children satan has me realizing that this situation is not going to get better.

  the other day he kicked my son out of the house for wearing a cap, in his car, with a skull on it.

  Nelly, yes , new stuff & make new memories, I like that.
