Burning the bridges ... one piece at a time!
just been doing a clear out and found all my old public talk outlines and notes.
just ripped them up and threw them away.
felt really good.
.
one day, i'll have the courage to ask why she looks at me like that..
Quelly... just sours the experience doesn't it.
Where do these people get off with this crappy behavior!
These same people in their little group, act so pious & 'good'.

When it happens to me ..... it feels like a bad dream....wtf am I,
one act (joining a 'nice' group) that seemed so safe, such 'nice'
people .....landed me into a fricken nightmare!
I joined Girl Guides as a kid 10 yrs before and did all my friends
shun me when it was over? NO! The Anglican Church? No!
The Lutherans? No!

And yet these brain dead drones think they rule the world!!!!!

hello everyone it's nice to finally be able to post i had trouble getting emails last month and was never able to sign up.
this has been a very informative site which has really helped me grow and to think for myself.
please allow me to introduce myself.. i was born into a witness family and was baptized at a young age an was part of a small kingdom hall.
in his illustration at mathew 13: 24-30, jesus made it clear that the wheat and weeds were to grow together until the harvest.
this parable runs contrary to the concept put forward by the wt about getting out of the world and running to their organization for salvation.. first of all, the parable says that the weeds will be gathered, bundled and burned first then the wheat will be gathered into the storehouse.. wt teaches that we need to gather up the wheat first.
not only are they doing it backward, they are teaching that true christians must isolate themselves inside a special wheat organization, separate from the weeds.

GoUnion.... welcome, glad you joined us!
Great first post! It is very shocking to find out
that you have been deceived, but as you keep digging
deeper .......everything becomes very clear.
Once you pull that first card out ...the whole house
falls down!

Hope your wife is with you in this, it will be much easier!
Wishing you both well...... look forward to hearing more.

hello jwn!
i don't get to check in here or comment as often as i would like because i have been working so hard at school...but i just have to share my news in hopes that newbees can see that taking the leap to enroll in higher education is worth it-.
i am graduating this spring with a bachelor degree in art history, minor anthropology...many people (including nonjw's have given me flack for choosing a "dead end" career path) but since leaving the watchtower organization's group-think mentality and "leaning on my own understanding" instead... i decided to say fuck everyone else's opinion...i am going to pursue my passion to work in a museum as a curator or archivist-.
7 years ago i started on a path i had long ago given up on as impossible.
i met with my elders and told them i could not justify carrying on as a jw.
i went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (a levels with distinction) in just 12 months.
here in nc it's snowing, about 6" so far.
haven't had so much snow and ice in a long time as we have so far this winter.. ken p..
i was in my company vehicle and i spotted some jw's going from door to door.. i circled around the block and pulled over.
when they passed, i rolled down the .
window and asked the pleasant looking middle aged couple as they passed, if they were jehovah's .
