and this is why kids kill their parents. actually in your case, the punishment for murder would have been a blessing. three hot meals and a place to sleep.
again, thanks for sharing.

i guess it's about time i write my story.
i've put this off for a long time... primarily becuase, while i thought my story was bad, i've read so many worse and heart-rending stories here.
i think, though, there is some therapeutic value in 'letting it all out' with others who know what 'it' was like.

This is so sad. Thank you for sharing your story.

as all you jdub ex children know the middle song meant a toilet break and a bit of a break from the madening boardem of the pubic talk ..... .
one time i went to the toilet late into the song ....... as i came in i saw only a few other kids at the urinal talking... i said "do you ever come to the toilet just for fun" they didnt answer ..... just had this stunned look on thier faces as they left in a hurry .... there was an elder around the corner and he had heard what i said .... he asked me " do you love jehovah".
he asked " do you want to go to the new world".
We were told to go before leaving for the KH and to hold it until after the meeting.
No running to the bathroom between, that was the time for singing not peeing.

it's really pretty sad.
i think of my parents, my aunt, and a lot of the old timers that have been in this thing for so long, and i can't help but feel sorry for them.
i mean, how devastating it would/will it be to find out they have been duped all along.
I feel a little sorry...i guess...
but mostly I soooo want the chance to say "told ya so"
what? just saying. dr phil would call me a 'right fighter'.

my friends.... you are misguided.
i do not mean to attack you, but i have a vew issues i would like to discuss.. first off... .
witnesses the bible says that man cannot even comprehend heaven... how would anyone know that 144,000 people will live in heaven when the old testament says in the first book genesis and got parted the waters from the world and the heaven so earths population is almost 4 billion people... how is only 144,000 people... or as i guess 144000 godlike beings going to inhabit a world as big as that ... which brings me to the next point 144000 godlike beings f they are godlike then there are 144,001 gods which is polytheistic.
THANK YOU LISA

well, today was the first sunday meeting with the half hour public talk.. the public talk was not for the public at all - it was about staying awake spiritually and was very hardcore.
more like a service talk.. before the meeting, one sister says that we are all expected to stay for at least 15 minutes after the wt study, because the society.
wants us to have more "association".. .
I was usually one of the last ones out of the hall. I tried to talk to anyone I knew was having a rough time or that had missed a few meetings. I adore old folks so I always made the rounds to speak to them and get a hug. I was crazy about the kids and payed special attention to the teenagers because I knew it wasn't easy for them to be in high school and belong to the cult.
if there had been people like you in the KH I attended, I probably wouldn't have looked else where for friendship. then again, maybe there were people like you and I was out the door as soon as amen was said and you couldn't catch me. hmmm..

i always wonder my self.
the ones i knew were all so corrupt and most full of bs, and eventually thier kids too.....i wonder if they are on this forum.
it would be satisfying to know they finally came to!.
An elder I knew my entire life that told me not to ever bother praying, "cause jehovah doesn't listen to liar's prayers". (after I denied having sex with someone he named, I really had no idea who he was talking about, not saying I didn't have sex, but it wasn't with the person he named) ...I'd love to know he got knocked down a few pegs.
his name was william (bill) nash. and he was an ass.

here it is guys.
this is what darth frosty was talking about in his post the other day (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/149460/1.ashx).
this is a collection of confidential letters from the watchtower society that were sent to the bodies of elders in the years 1981 through 2006. these are the letters that you were never meant to see or read.. there's all sorts of information in them ranging from the boring and mundian to instructions about how to handle child molesters.. many thanks to darth frosty and others (who i'm not sure can be named) who worked very hard and took risks to collect and scan the information.
yea..someone fix the links..they aren't working.
Thanks for all you's hard work.
To the WTBTS and my parents. ---->

good to see people are still leaving the wts.
Yeah..It's Bliss. Good to see you.
I'm glad you stopped by to see us. How is your family?
