i want to stay with you mommy.".

now poor baby has boils on his butt!!

Lol. Babysprout would always say that when one of us was staying at home...

Burning WT books helps heal the bum boils!

To Dissassociate or just Fade into Inactivity ? Your Choice ? Reasons ?

by flipper in

jw
friends

this has been asked before, however i thought it may be good for newer members of the board to read some of our reasons on how we decided to exit the jw cult and why we decided to do it the way we did.. first off - i have been faded for almost 8 years.

essentially i decided to fade into inactivity and not da because i have elderly jw parents who would shun me if i did get dfed or daed myself.

also- i like keeping open the possibilities that some of my many jw relatives may in time start doubting and have questions and reach out to me in my inactive state.

Fader but we are treated like we are d'fed. Even babysprout is shunned. Carrots parents still talk to him (just). They are the only ones he is bothered about. Me??? I have no-one in that religion that I give two fruits about. I hope that one day their eyes will be opened and I will go to them to help them. Until that day I will not lose a moments thought over them. They slandered me, treated me like shat and then when I needed them they turned their backs on me. So if they d'fed me I would laugh in their faces. I will NOT give them power by sending in a letter. They have no power and I refuse to play by their rules.

Phew that rant has cleared my head. Lol

What has the WT$ TAKEN from you?

by VampireDCLXV in

if you've been around here long enough, you will have seen people saying how they "gave up" or "sacrificed" certain things so that they could be good little jws.

what about those of us who were growing up in it and we didn't even have a choice in the matter?

what about those of us from whom some things in life were forcibly ripped away, things that 'normal' people take for granted in their life?.

I feel far too self-conscious. I'm a wallflower and a loner, still.

Come out with me and no longer will you be a wallflower or self conscious! It wouldn't be possible... Lol

The WT almost took my life but I was pulled back from the brink and my life is looking pretty good. I celebrate everything and yes I do celebrate it like I would have done as a child, except I get to make all the decisions. It's more fun that way! Lol.

I'm finally studying for a career and will be leaving my ''awake'' degree behind me

The WT ain't taking no more of my life. *Mutters evil bastards the lot of them*

friends

well we don't care that he has cut us off!

we have 4 kids, he ain't going to see them before the grim reaper comes lookin for him.

my job skills are well in demand in alberta canada so that's our next move, we are getting out of the uk sinking ship asap, we have family in alberta who will sponsor us so i think it's time to leave and make a new start for our kids, as their aren't no jobs in the uk for them now even with university qualifications behind them.

This made me sad *sigh*... I really feel for you... I know what it's like to have no money for food and finding some eggs in the fridge and making pancakes every night for dinner. I am soo sorry for the way your dad is treating you. My heart goes out to you and I really hope you have a wonderful time in Canada... Your job sounds exciting and a new life in a new country is fantastic news.

Life is what we make it and it sounds like you are getting your life on track after the dubbies nearly destroyed it.

I wish you and your family all the happiness this life can offer.

Why Some Cannot "See" that the Bible is NOT the Word of God

by AGuest in

jw
friends

to the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace.

some of you may have recently observed some discussions regarding what... or rather, who... the word of god is, truly.

in those and other threads, some participants weren't able to grasp the difference between discussion vs. contention... and defending their own faith... and love of god and christ... vs. ramming their [mis]assumptions as to the "vengeance of god"... down others' throats.

Moshe why are you trying to pick a fight??

Shel's posts are easy to understand... She takes no credit for herself, she says where she gets her information from. Like she said in the paragraph you highlighted, God's SON Jaheshua Mischajah speaks to her...

This is my favourite.... I don't know who it's by, lovely nontheless.

Making the decision to have a child ~ it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart walking outside your body.

happen to be at the library today thought i would stop in and say hello .

watersprout

Glad to hear you are still in one piece... I broke Carrots laptop the other day, he was not happy. lol. In the end I just kept hitting the keyboard and it's starting working now! :) I have no idea what I did so perhaps your computer needs a good smacking. Lol

Couldn't you immerse yourself in some good books while at the library??

So what have you been up to lately??
