  she sent me about seven magazines including the april 15, 2010 study cult edition.

  it's the one with the new definition of generation.

  i wonder if she's read it yet.

  I quit!: You're probably right about her being insane. I don't have the magazine in front of me because I'm at work but her name is on that link I posted. The initials are RR, I think the last name is Romel.

  Cagefighter: That's probably what I should start doing.

  mrsjones5: My cat enjoyed tearing them up for me. lol

  Dagney: I like how you handle it. That's what I'll need to do.

  serenitynow!: I know. It's such a waste of money and resources.

  Black Sheep: Lol! Why in the world would my mom send me a package of condoms? And yeah, that's the way Steven Hassen says to do it. Let the cult member hear themselves explain their beliefs.

  serenitynow!: I do plan on asking her about it. And I'm surprised she sent me the private edition too. Maybe she thinks that if I have it I'll want to go back to the meeting.

  man in black: You're right. I do appreciate that she cares. I know having me become inactive is heartbreaking for her. She invited me to go to the assembly last week and when I told her that I don't want to go, I could hear her trying to told back the tears. It's hard to put her through this.

  OUTLAW: After reading your comment I wondered the same thing. So I google the singer's name and this is the only thing I found:

  i'm new here but have been reading/lurking for several months.

  it's good to know that i'm not alone in my ex-jw status and that my story and experiences are not unique.

  i have no bitterness or anger anymore.... that's long gone since i left some 12 years ago.

  Anyways, I had a quick look through some of the articles and a couple of things pissed me off. One was the May 15, 2010 study article titled "Women, Why Submit to Headship?" As someone who is about to leave my husband in two days, this really irks me. I'm so glad I've broken through the mind control.

  The other one is the June 2010 Awake on page 24, "Why I Gave Up a Lucrative Career" The article is about a woman who was a professional singer in Mexico. At the beginning of the article she said she made enough money to be able to "enjoy such luxuries as jewels, mink coats, and penthouse living." By the end of the article, she makes tamales and sells them on the street to support her pioneering. I hate this cult.

  Thanks for sharing your story. I admire anyone who goes to college. I've always wanted to go but I never took my education seriously when I was growing up. You know, because armageddon was going to be here before I turned 18. Anyways, I feel so inadequate for college. If I went I feel like I'd be behind everyone else. I'm glad things worked out well for you and now you can be your authentic self.

  Thanks everyone.

  Scott77: Lol. I was half joking. I probably won't change my username. Though it may seem fitting, I don't plan on being single for the rest of my life. If I get married in a few years then I'd feel like I'd have to change it again so I might as well keep the one I got.

  ok - i couldn't keep away from this board - but i lasted longer than a week (outlaw!).

  here i am sitting in the sun on a beautiful sunday afternoon drinking beer catching up with the posts on this board.

  i just had to write a message to anyone still attending meetings, despite knowing that they are a forum to propagate lies and deceit.

  it's been a while since i've posted because i've been so busy looking for a full-time job so that i could leave my husband.

  well, i've finally got one today.

  actually, it's the same job i've had for about a year but someone else just put in their notice to quit so my manager finally gave me full-time status.

  Lozhasleft: Thanks. Thought I do want to clear up that he's not physically abusive, but he is emotionally. I just don't want anyone to think he's done something that he hasn't. I'm glad things are going good for you.

  i've always been told that i have a very good personality, that i'm humorous, etc.. one elder called me over and said that i was "smiling too much".

  the other elders talked to the elder who counseled me and he came back to say that i should be like i was .

  When my husband and I were dating, we got counseled several times for not having an officially designated chaperone at the kingdon hall. I mean, seriously, do they think we were going to have sex right there in from of everyone in the kingdom hall just because there wasn't an official chaperone?
