  i've been watching from the sidelines for a while... reading about your experiences and it has helped me a lot!!!.

  i am a 27 yo girl, i converted into a jw @ 20, at was going thru a difficult time in my life and they bastards sucked me in!!!

  i did not realize how controlling things were going to get... about 1 year into my study i moved w another single sister and then baptize, looking back i think i went thru w baptism because i fell pressure by the "loving" congregation that wanted the best for me... i remember coming out of the pool and one of the brothers saying "another victim" and taking a pic of me... anyways, that wasn't the worst of it.... remember single female!!

  How big is a demon?

  by Terry in

  2. friends

  things which exist are real enough.

  we can measure them.

  they are just this big and no bigger or smaller.. they are here and not there.. imaginary things have the luxury of being any size.

  Update from Gadget

  by Gadget in

  its about a year since i was last on here so i thought i'd come and say hello and let you know how i'm doing.

  i think my last post was announcing that my children, emily and christopher, had just been born over 3 months premature.. life has been a rollercoaster since then, emily spent 3 1/2 months in hosptital and christopher spent 5 months.

  they were very very ill for a long time, and christopher in particular was very unstable often needing to be resuscitated several times a day until just a few weeks before he was discharged.

  What if you admitted you don't mind being destroyed @ Armaggedon?

  by Knowsnothing in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  isn't that pretty much the end of a conversation with a jw?.

  honestly, now that i think about it, what is the difference between judgment day(armaggedon) and death?.

  just curious to see how my friends and relatives would react if i responded that way... .

  by highdose in

  2. friends

  " provocatively" of course meaning alot.

  in my cong it meant moving your body in any way at all.. the spirtual ones of the cong of course would not dance and if they did would do a kinda slow motion running type dance.

  totaly embassring to look at.. .

  Why I was disfellowshipped

  by truthseeker1969 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in 1996 i was approached by elders asking me if i had at any time been inside a "gay bar' in the city center to which i replied "yes" since i had, i was renovating it on behalf of the brewery that owned it.. i advised them smugly that i go there daily and that i did not see a problem with it.

  it was well known in town that it was closed for renovations and that no one other than contractors were in there.. i was told that there had to be a judicial meeting and was invited to attend which i did not and was given a note through my letter box stating that "the decision has been made to disfellowship you".

  i kindly sent a letter telling them that the bar in question is not a "gay bar' since the bar is inanimate and therefor had no sexual orientation and that the bar was not a bar since it was gutted and therefor had no bar for it to be called a bar.. i further told them that the extent of my work was on behalf of the brewery who sublet the building to the landlord.. my work was to provide detailed interior redesign and nothing more.. therefor the judicial committee was formed in error based on assumption with no foundation and null and void.. oops, sorry please dont mention this to anyone was the reply, too late.. .

  Lost my entire coin, stamp and paper money collection!! surprising story.

  by finallyfree! in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so in the hustle and shuffle of moving i must have left my entire collection literally in the appartment parking lot.

  just to give you an idea of what was in there i had about a dozen america and canadian silver dollars, a couple gold coins, a bunch of ancient coins from the 1600s, old canadian paper money and us money and a bunch of coins, stamps, paper currency ive been collecting since i was a kid.. all in all my stuff was worth in the 5-7 thousand dollar range.

  believe it or not a young guy in his mid twenties from the appartments across the st came over and asked me if i lost anything and what my name was.
