last night me and the wife were talking about things that happened to each of us while in the borg that we wished we could have reacted differently... i mean really put someone in thier place for the foolish thing they said or the deplorable action that enacted upon you.
my wife literally almost came to tears relating something that i was not aware... i wanted to end up going back to the hall for a monthy or so just too handle it.. .
do you have anything you would like to share to help us remove our own thoughts from our minds lol.

I think this is a pretty good estimate of how long the
catharsis will take. It really does seem to be a purge,
that rids the mind & the body of the watchtower programming!

january 2014 watchtower study article.
let your kingdom comebut when?.
this generation will not pass away.
Two of the most BULL SH$& paragraphs that
I have ever read in my 50yrs of cult worship!!!!

In his detailed prophecy about the conclusion of this system of things, Jesus said: “This generation will by no means pass away until all these things happen.” (Read Matthew 24:33-35.) We understand that in mentioning “this generation,” Jesus was referring to two groups of anointed Christians. The first group was on hand in 1914, and they readily discerned the sign of Christ’s presence in that year. Those who made up this group were not merely alive in 1914, but they were spirit-anointed as sons of God in or before that year.—Rom. 8:14-17.
16 The second group included in “this generation” are anointed contemporaries of the first group. They were not simply alive during the lifetime of those in the first group, but they were anointed with holy spirit during the time that those of the first group were still on earth. Thus, not every anointed person today is included in “this generation” of whom Jesus spoke. Today, those in this second group are themselves advancing in years. Yet, Jesus’ words at Matthew 24:34 give us confidence that at least some of “this generation will by no means pass away” before seeing the start of the great tribulation. This should add to our conviction that little time remains before the King of God’s Kingdom acts to destroy the wicked and usher in a righteous new world.—2 Pet. 3:13.

just got word that my sister died.
she had surgery for heart valve replacement about 5 weeks ago, and when they opened her up for it they found cancer.
we had an extra special relationship since i was her "birthday present" when she turned 10 in 1951. this is my second sibling to die of cancer in 14 months..
Ouch ... so sorry dear Poppers.
I have 1 sibling left, a sister, we are divided by wt,
but still can't bear the thought of losing her.
Life throws some harsh things at us, I hope you have
someone close who really understands your situation.
Sending warm wishes of comfort (((Poppers)))...
take things easy for awhile OK.

hey guys !
i've stopped believing the watchtower crap a few years ago.
i achieved this on my own, despite being raised as one.
Hi Cookie I am glad you found us too! We are all
proud of you for standing up for yourself!

my story is long, heart stopping, tragic, and puzzling.
since i posted what was said to be my last post, i received a private message which sparked my attention about the watchtower.
immediately i did research, and have found not only proof from outside sources, but the watchtower openly admitting it.
A lot has happened in the last week or so Mike.

Good to see you back!
