  This little WT brings up such anger and sadness!!!! How can anyone reason with someone who is constantly being fed this toxic backwash, which supposedly springs forth so lovingly from god almighty himself?!!? It's constant, constant. No dignity for anyone in this WT at all. No dignity for the "helpless" family who 'lost' their family member to the 'evil world'....and no dignity for the 'sinner', who isn't there to defend him/herself as to the quite possible 'good' character that he/she actually has.

  I remember as I was contemplating leaving the religion, a thought that kept coming....if it's the truth, why does it take so much work to keep on believing it?

  It takes alot of WT articles, alot of 'faithful' slaving away to keep convincing yourself of something that just isn't quite right, and you'll be damned if you'll let any former JW's get in the way of all the hard work of maintaining that illusion of 'truth'......because man, that would just blow your entire belief system clear out of the water....scary, heavy stuff...

  ~Close to Others..Close to My Self~

  i am using this as my very own personal therapy session to express some of what has been swimming around in my head~.

  it may not take much shape, i'll be letting it flow.... there is nothing like feeling understood and accepted and loved for who you are.

  but that's a difficult thing to really feel when there is little or no history with a person.

  AK~ The ones that have touched me or I've felt close to are free-thinkers and artists, artists of all kinds. The mundane, obligatory in life mostly is a nuisance to me. It isn't arrogance, it's living. I spent plenty of time in servitude to the precepts of the religion and have since allowed myself to fully explore my wilder side. JW's are not the only ones who have angst in their lifestyle, but it is each individual's choice to remain in a prison or not. Even in my saddest moments, there is a sense of surrendering to the ebb and flow of my own rythms and a liberating feeling that anything can happen to me. Having said that, there is a profound joy in the simple pleasures in life. My little faeries remind me of this daily. Words are limited in their ability to express a feeling, but love is the closest to describing what drives me. Thank you for coming here~ peace, love, and best wishes~

  OK, I'm feeling up to this again...

  Thank you, Judge Dread~ not that misery loves company...ok, sometimes it does

  AK MCGRATH~ "Fried Green Tomatoes" is one of my fave movies! You're a sweet, tough chic

  Well, this internet stuff has its pros and cons. It would be great to be able to be with everyone in person, but then again, it's super-convenient to be typing/reading away while wearing who-knows what! This is a unique forum. Mostly I am going on with my life, but sometimes I just have to come here

  there are many new posters here, and i'm very interested to learn why you chose your screen names.. .

  one book i read, the mists of avalon, was very important to me.

  among the main characters was merlin, who in the book, was called "taliesen".

  Because I love to imagine and be surrounded by beauty. Faeries live in nature, that is their home. I am a dancer, and when I dance, I feel free. And freedom is like flying...

  Usually I bring my more pensive side here.. because when I think of the religion, that's sometimes how I get..pensive.

  Yes, my essence shows up here. Always the real me. But only a smidgen of me. My avatar gives away that I'm a romantic, a dreamer, and from another place...
