when you see witnesses approaching you think
"go ahead make my day"
then you say
"you've gotta ask yourself one question do I feel lucky well do ya punk"

"you've gotta ask yourself one question do I feel lucky well do ya punk"

that was fun
It looked like something I saw at a vietnamese restaurant.
so as you da'd, were df'd, faded, or just mentally let go of everything you believed for so long, did you experience this weird transition phase of an "identitylessness"?
i think this might only apply to people who were "strong" in the faith.
as a strong witness, im sure those of us who were really took to heart and mind the things that we learned and counsel that the society produced.
throughout my life I've tried out many ideas thrown myself into them worked hard kept on thinking & than when they turned out to be wrong all the cards went back on the table. I,m a searcher for the meaning of life sometimes I thought I found something but I was wrong.
I just start over again each time go back to the"I don't know phase" which is where I am right now.
I don't seem to be able to leave it alone so I have no idea where my path will lead I've just eliminated the wtbs thats it for now.
:|.
...........im gonna go have an anxiety attack now.

two elders were just here an hour ago.
i'm afraid i lost my temper with them, and even my neighbours heard me .
let me just take it from the top.
It seems to me you have hit empty on the JW's & your marriage its just the way it is now its time to move forward with a plan its not easy. however difficult it may seem right now one day it will be in the past and you'll be fine.
I'm truly sorry but I know you'll be ok. just get a grip and formulate a plan & move toward your future.

pierce addressed the rising number of memorial partakers at the convention on sunday.. he said that many are asking why the number of partakers is going up year after year.. his response (paraphrasing): "it's none of our business.
it's jehovah's business".. in other words, shut up and keep your place.. 5th.
It doesn't matter what they say when they use the holy spirit disclaimer. We don't know why the holy spirit told us this and then that its Jehovahs business he has a purpose & we just go along with it. we're not responsible its the holy spirit up to its tricks again.
i just finished chapter 8 of crisis of conscience.. i used to feel humbled, but priviliged to think that jehovah drew me to his organization.
so few find it and he allowed me!.
now i feel humbled, but ashamed that i never examined the religion and got sucked in.
we all wanted something an answer a future a peaceful world someone gave us a drug & told us the paradise land was true and we wouldn't have to die the animals would be friendly god was loving just as we had hoped & would satisfy all our dreams.
then one day the drug wore off the rosy colored glasses came off and we were back to square one but we refused to take another dose because we knew it wasn't real. so here we are
i like this site (aside from the fact that we have the jw experience in common) because i have come to realize that all of you are very creative, interesting & courageous.
it takes a special person to exit the jw's.
we all of course are also very different & thats good because we can learn from each other.

Sometimes we get into heavy intense discussions & sometimes we get silly but we have fun and we find comfort & camaraderie.
So keep the thoughts & ideas flowing.
to the shores of tripoli .... did you ever sing or hum this while a jw?.
i did; i love that song.. tee hee hee.. syl.
that song is not my thing I'm not a patriotic type. I guess the 60's anti vietnam war thing set the tone for my life.
when I was at the kingdom hall the song in my mind was often by the animals
we gotta get out of this place if its the last thing we ever do
we gotta get out of this place girl theirs a better life for me & you
