Brodan - I am so sorry for you, I know how much you love your wife and so you must be hurting like crazy, way more than I can imagine.
so (((((hugs))))) to you and I pray you receive all the peace your heart deserves.

to the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace!
as you may or may not be aware, i recently posted a thread regarding the relevancy of the name of our lord.
in that thread, and one or two others, i mentioned the language of our lord... and thus, the accurate rendering of that name.
miseryloveselders - for youfor me...... cheers
how they're feeling, coping?.
well, do you?.
thanks to those who respond.. syl.
mrsjones - I care, I've read your posts when you've spoke of the problems you have had with your mom and it's made me sad. I hope and pray that one day your mom will be out and free of the WT. Maybe then she can appreciate you for who you are and not who she wants you to be.
I care about many on this forum, others not so much. Saying that I would never wish harm or ignore anyone who was in trouble even if they had been mean to me.
Ya just gotta love. peace to all.
edit to add: Snowbird, what a lovely thread.
page 10, par 14, (get a bucket incase you get sick).
14 in prayer to god, jesus clearly stated:.
your word is truth.
civicsi00 -
Or they will disappear.
Before they do that I want all my money back.
Just a thought has anyone ever tried to get their donations back from the Borg or from their congregation?

miseryloveselders - I thought wingcommander was being mean because he admitted to not even reading Shelby's thread but attacked her and others mental state. I like a debate as much as anyone but it deeply saddens me when certain posters just come on to bully.
Posting guidelines were also broken.
If supporting your friends is selfrighteous then I'm guilty. This thread started off with ....For those of the Household Of God and Israel ....... so ones would know who Shelby was talking to. Maybe some are harder than I am because I don't like hurtful/hateful comments. If you don't agree then don't agree, but what's wrong in keeping things civil. I'm not the only one who feels that way either. Trouble is some do not like their bad behaviour pointed out and get quite upset about it. I will defend people I know if I feel they are being treated badly, and more so if they are being attacked for thinking and having the same beliefs I hold.
Thankfully my husband is out of the Borg and although neither of us felt that the elders were ever knights on white horses (now that did make me smile) we always held and treated them with respect. Unfortunately on occassions they didn't always show the same respect to us. My husband read the comments made and thats why he told me to come off the computer, he really, really couldn't believe how harsh those comments were. The reason we left was because we woke up to the lies. We also came to realise that the GB were slowly smothering Christ out of the picture, something we were/are very uncomfortable with. There were other reasons why we left, mostly to do with the disfellowshipping of the bethelites from Mill Hill, but again that is another story and I have already posted on that subject elsewhere.
Sorry for being mean to you, I should not have called you out on being an elder.
When I put peace to you I did /do mean it. I wouldn't mess about with that at all.
Moshe - sorry for being blunt but sometimes certain posters only understand good old fashioned straight talk. As for getting into trouble for using the word doormat.....well compared to some of the language used on this thread I think calling someone a doormat is lovey dovey.
peace to all.
to the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you have peace!.
as you know i have, for many years now, related to you that i hear the voice of the fine shepherd, the holy one of israel and holy spirit, jaheshua mischajah.
over such years i have received many questions and comments, and engaged in various debates regarding the validity of that name.
I love Outlaw.
just want to know, and how to do it.
i've been out of the religion for 12 years now and just want a reason for my parents to not talk to me, seeing how they don't anyhow i don't think it'll hurt any..
When I found the truth about the truth I was shattered. I would have hated to have been in my 70's and found it out.
Don't make any rash decisions, you have been successful in fading and there's no need to play by their rules.
Have you thought that what you said to your parents got them thinking and that's why they reacted the way they did. Don't give up on them.
peace to you

miseryloveselders - OOOOOOOhhhhhhh touched a nerve did I.
Edited to add: My husband just read your post and told me to get off the forum, he doesn't believe your an elder.......unfortunately I do.
Anyway peace to you.
