You said 'How was Watersprout helpful in pointing me towards her God?' then you quote Matt 29: 19,20
Why do you need to be pointed towards Sprouts God? Do you not have your own, you know the one who should be worshipped the way YOU say he should be worshipped?
You want to help Sprout to understand what she affirms so she can pass it on to others. Why?? Why should she have to listen to you, why should she have to listen to anyone? Isn't that what we did in the borg, isn't that how they suckered us into being misled. No one has to listen to any one Michelle, NO ONE. Sprout like me and many others on this board listen to Christ, we hear his voice, we are quite happy to be taught and led by him.
You have in the past made comments about Shelby and her followers..... strikes me you want your own.
And no, I don't fancy myself protecting Sprout, she can look after herself, I've been having a rough time lately and I just fancied kicking someones butt...... yours got in the way.
So know when to back off and take your preaching commission to those who fancy serving your God.
Myelaine .... put your pointy finger finger away, put down your bible and step away from the Sprout. She's not the first person whose faith you have questioned.
I know Sprout and she has nothing to hide or defend as far as her faith is concerned. The very fact she has a faith after going through all the things she suffered because of that ridiculous cult is truly amazing. YOU, as a so called believer, should rejoice with her. Instead you to want to destroy her faith by calling into question what she believes in and who she really belongs to. Trust me, after what she has been through you really, really don't need to do that
Carry on with your own faith if it makes you happy......but it is very borgish to tell others that only you have the correct understanding. Let others continue on their own journey with Christ, let them learn at their own pace and enjoy the freedom they now have.
Sprout has told you to leave her alone, so why don't you do just that.
By the way the love you send and the big heart thingy, well it just don't wash with me. In my opinion anyone who hides behind a baby (your avatar), can't be trusted.
Now be on your way, back away from the Sprout and go and blaspheme some where else. Oh and stop taking over other peoples threads...it's rude.
and i started to read it.
it was the one where i openly wrote that i ''hear''.... i couldn't read it all, because as i reading it was causing chest pains.
think it was taking me back and i was reminded how certain ones hurt me with the things they said.
Yeah I remember it well....got me knickers in a right twist lol. I've always hated bullies, not them personally just what they do and say.

*i'm posting this in a public place so this person will see it, i'm not sure if they are a member of the board or not but i'm sure they're a lurker*.
dear person who knows my mother, i want you to know that i am not nor have i never been a jw.
yes as you well know i was raised in the org but i was never baptised into it.
hugs to you Mrsjones. I don't come on here as much as I don't have internet access at the moment, but I do think about you guys all the time.
As long as we are associated to that cult by family it will always have some impact on our lives, something none of us deserve.

most people really don't want to think about it....but if you could choose, how would like to leave the planet?.
going out with a bang could be fun..... dying as a martyr?.
dying as a hero saving someone?.
Age 105 in my sleep after a salsa class.
i don't know whether this has ever been asked, so i apologize if i'm repeating.. what did you do at the last meeting you ever attended?
did you stay for the whole thing?
what made you realize that this was your last meeting, or did you not know it would be your last meeting??.
I knew I had to leave when I began tutting really loudly at every stupid remark that came from the platform and comments made during the washtowel. I would tut and my husband would shush me....I had to leave because my husband was at risk of blowing his front teeth out (they are his own lol).
It was the meeting after the memorial 2009. I can still remember the joy as I walked out for the last time, I was walking on air.

reading a thread from just a few months ago, made me realise that a lot of people who used to be regular contributors here no longer do so.. i know that people have always moved on, as the anger and hurt get less, as the wt mind-set totally disappears, we feel the need to come here less and less, but because of the intelligence, insight, wit and wisdom of these people, the board is somewhat impoverished each time one of these moves on.. this is a plea to all who post now, and some who still read but don't post, please do not leave us entirely, the contributions on here are literally life-saving for many.
it is easy to get dangerously suicidal when the whole wt pack of cards falls down for you.. please do not become a stranger to us !.
I haven't been on for a while......been busy moving etc. I lived on this site when I first left the Org, but as I healed I just found other stuff to do. I'll always be greatful to those who helped me.......thank you.
Like many others I'll pop in every now and then.
i`ve recieved an email from one of the dearest people i know,here on jwn... shelby had major surgery at the end of february..she is just getting her strength back... this thread is for her... leave a message..say a prayer..send good vibes... it all helps when a person is recovering... thanks... .

........................... ...outlaw.

It's 4.10pm, wet, grey and miserable outside. I've been sorting stuff out all day because we're moving soon, but all I want to do is sit down with a cup of coffee and eat cake while watching a film on telly. Heaves a big sigh and carries on..................
