Help me...

by rafreuter in

i wish this weren't the way i greeted the board.

i've been lurking here for about 2 years now, but was unable to really interact because of limitations of my ipod browser (you can't post from there) and the parental controls on my computer.. .

well 2 years later, i'm a big boy, turned 18 and moved out.

Hello there rafreuter! Another new one. Awesome. They just keep coming...

Whatever you do, don't put yourself back into a bad situation. Being among the borg is quite literally bad for your health. Don't do it! Hang in there...

EDIT: Check this out...

OMG! You're a newb! Dear me! Where are my manners? Welcome to this crazy place BTW. You must tell us your story (if it isn't too painful). Again, I bid you welcome.

PS: Don't feel embarrased about saying you're new. So many people will want to say hi...

If you don't give a s**t about celebrating, feel free to post here.

i'll just come out and say it... i don't give a f**k about my birthday.

it's only a painful reminder that i'm one year closer to my grave.

i'm not here to pick a fight with those who do celebrate.

@brotherdan,
It's nice hearing from ya. Of course I relate to your having little desire to celebrate for yourself. How do you get away with celebrating for the kids? (Am I correct in assuming that your wife is still in?) Do you get nookie anymore?

@thetrueone,
I'm having nightmares about the thought of dating a worldlie and the whole celebration thing. It'll be worse if she happens to have kids. Unfortunately no-one gives a s**t about whether or not it really is the b-day of the Christ...

@wasblind,
It's nice to be free to decide whether you want to celebrate... or not.

@Twitch,
Like what I said to thetrueone... Another reason I'm reticent about having my own kids.

@lola28,
Ummm... Okay... Whatever...
I'll only poop on a party if I'm forced to go...

@Violia,
Christmas to me is nothing but a headache. I don't see the joy in headaches...

Are you led by logic or emotion?

by compound complex in

on a recent thread i admitted personal difficulties in the arena of critical thinking.

logic and reason are not my strong suit, but i try.. you?.

coco.

VampireDCLXV

I'm in agreement with Lady Lee. Emotion and logic have both led me astray. (Having ADHD impairs my logic and makes me too emotional.) Intuition has proved to be more useful to me than I ever imagined.

I find that I'm pleasantly surprised by Leolaia's answer. Emotion and logic cannot exist separately, unless one is a psychopath (but that's another discussion altogether).

Can You Now Clearly See That You Were In A Cult?

by minimus in

jw
friends

the longer away from "the truth", the easier it is to see that i was in a "cult"..

VampireDCLXV

The first time I left in my late teens, I had no access to the internet and never made any true outside friends so I was sucked back in a number of years later. I left for emotional reasons and in retospect I see that my intuition was telling me something. Even that I'm here now, I'm still struggling with the idea. What I keep reading here has my head spinning too.
It's just that I don't want to go to war with the JW's 'cuz it means going to war with my familiy.

OK 25 years out!!!

by Lady Lee in

jw
friends

i'm not the longest out.

mouthy was out before i was and a handfull of others.. but this year marked 25 out for me as opposed to 22 years in.

this life is what you choose to make it.

VampireDCLXV

I am unlikely ever to reach the point where I have been out longer than I was in.

I could probably count myself in that category as well. Even when I stopped attending in my late teens, the teachings still haunted me and I was still living in my 'rents basement till I re-associated and baptized years later. I didn't have acess to the internets before that so I had no access to outside info until it was too late. It was like I never left. Now that I'm on my own and I'm here, I'm never going back.
Congrats to Lee and everyone who has left and is determined never to go back.

mainly, how awesome i am.

i have noticed several threads that are not about how awesome i am and, frankly, it's a little disturbing.

i might also be drunk.

Oh, aren't we full of ourselves...

Stick your head in an oven, will ya?
