Oh Cogie! Please tell us that you are NOT a nudist. That would be more full disclosure than we could handle...

anyone who deeply believes in a "free press" is very naive in my opinion.
for example, consider how stories about scandal suddenly appear out of nowhere after candidates actually start running.
i am also aware of how surprizing revelations appear in european newspapers about figures in the us - while little or nothing is reported in the american press.

as many on this board are aware- the wt society is losing younger members in big numbers.
statistics show that 2 out of 3 jw's raised in the cult leave between the age of 18 to 35. so like they always do- if the wt society sees a " need " or " problem " arising they address it in wt study articles.
thus notice how manipulative the wt society uses fear, guilt, and put down type comments to intimidate young jehovah's witnesses in this wt study article in nov. 15th issue.. under the titled article " young ones - what will you do with your life ?
Yep. It's utterly disgusting! They steal people's lives and make THEM feel guilt over it. Nothing is EVER good enough for those pricks in Brooklyn Crooklyn. Grrr!

how do i make a long story short?
i am fully aware that if anyone in my area were to read this that they will know who i am.
i was disfellowshipped on january 28th 2010 after an "interview" about an evening of bowling with friends and family back in november 2009. i was among 4 who were disfellowshipped and 6 who were publicly reproved.
Welcome, confuzzled777!
Damn! The horror stories never end. I truly feel grieved for you. You've been railroaded girl! It's not fair. There's a reason we call a JC a "kangaroo court" here. So not fair. Someone had it in for you. That's gotta hurt! Sorry for the brutal wakeup call. Now you know. We'll be here for you when they won't be. ((((hugs))))

wrote a letter to family kinda laying out that i don't want to be apart of it anymore.
didn't specify issues, but now i'm getting the dumbest emails hounding me about how the borg is the annointed organization of god and his spirit.. it's not official yet.
i wonder if they'll disfellowship me even though i refuse to talk to them about religion.... feels really good though, to be free.. .
It's nice to be rid of them, huh? I sucks that we all pay a price, though. I understand the fear for your anonymity but it isn't the ones who post here you should be afraid of, it's the silent lurkers. They are the spies. You're among friends 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.
I'll just bump this thread once more and give a shout out to miseryloveselders and four candles. Feel the anti-holiday love...

i used to wonder, how people in "the truth" could do and say hurtful things.
how could certain people be appointed elders?
they were just kiss-asses or yes men.
You know, Red Piller, a website can't make you anything. Sure it can strip away delusions and lying propaganda, but only you can open your eyes to see it and take action to remove judgemental attitudes. Whatever compassion you feel has been there inside you all along.

gumby here, thought i'd say hi to everyone.
my nutbag is still intact but it's a tough road to please others in order to keep a family.
really tough.. i'm glad this place is still here as it's a haven for you ex-es and a means to help others to see that when man (governing body) is a mediator between christ and oneself, it becomes a cult.. .
I might as well stop in and say hi. I'm one of the newbs. Lots of us coming in as of late.

for the longest time, quillsky was an impenetrable mystery.
no-one even knew what it's gender was.
it's time quillsky told us it's gender and more.
It's slightly more complicated than a fear of being outed.....
Life is only as complicated as we make it. I'm still trying to figure out how to live by that myself...
Not gonna happen with me. I don't want the same image to be associated with me across the internet. I post on forums that have nothing to do with religion. Plus I have or have had a stalker or two and don't want to add to their means of identifying me.
You're being stalked? Why didn't you say so in the first place? Of course, that's really terrible and I can only imagine what that's like...
I forgot to attend Girly Posting 101.
You didn't forget... you were skipping school. Maybe I could teach you a little of what you missed, since ppl say I think too much like a girl. V665
