  To my friends-

  by ashitaka in

  2. friends

  i don't want to spam, but i just wanted to post one more topic tonite.

  i was reading bridgette's post, and was moved, but not just because of what she said...mommy made a comment about us being friends here, and you know what...i feel that way too.. sometimes, even though i have a wife who left the jw's with me, i feel so damn isolated and alone, that i'm the only strong one among a bunch of children, who all fight and tear at each other....this is one place i feel semi-normal again.. it's so hard to befriend people now.

  i have so much trouble talking to people and interacting socially with people, although i've been told i'm agreeable to be around.. i don't know, i'm exhausted from thinking.

  My father just beat my brother-

  one more topic.. my wife just called up to tell me that she was over my parents before a doctor's visit, chatting with my mother, when my crazed jw father threw my small 14 year old brother down the stairs and punched him for not wanting to study.. i've been beat, thrown down stairs, had potted plants thrown at me, chased around the house, and such, for not wanting to do the family study.. this is what the "truth" does to people, all you loyal jw's....take note...... (i'm so angry i'm shaking).

  ashi.

  p.s-my father said he was leaving my mother--oh god, pretty please, you motherf**ker.

  that is terrible.

  please phone the police.

  he is not a witness, hes just a violent man.

  if he was a pagan he would beat his kids up for spilling to milk.

  sorry bro.

  Justice 19 - Concern for Lost Sheep

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  justice 19 concern for lost sheep.

  jesus said, what do you think?

  if any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine sheep, and go to the mountains, and seek that which goes astray?

  to disgruntled Christians

  matthew 24:14 and this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.

  nice to hear from you dhook. i hope to find a group someday that i can get behind.

  to me the bible is still very important. perhaps in coming hear you mistook what the majority feel.

  without insulting anyone. the world is full of different people. only a small amount will care about
  the bible.

  in the "truth" the same applies. we all know about such ones when we were going to meetings.

  it would seem to me that searching exwitnesses was exactly the wrong kind of place to seek
  commited cristians on masse. since most here have at least for a time been very angry at any
  religious notion. any many left exactly because they didnt beleive in god.

  of course many here are very interested in religion (many, much more than me).
  perhaps they will form up and make a new religion.

  i hope you find an answer to your questions. i havent.

  anyway i wish i wrote my mixed feelings about the wtbts as well as you do.
