  Yeah I know our (Australian) National Anthem. I was forced to learn it at school.

  Yet I never learnt ANY Kingdom Melodies . . . hahaha always pretended to sing at the KH, soooooooo boring!

  well, i am glad my brother called and forwarned me this was comming...i got to come on here and get so much good advise from you people.

  it actually started friday nite....my door bell was buzzing at 7pm, this time they parked their car so that they thought i couldn't see it but i climbed up my kitchen counter and could see the rear end of the car by peeking out that window.

  it was the same elder as before.. an hour after that: must be mom couldn't stand it anymore & she called me crying.

  I hope it works out for you CHG, however we are talking about the JW religion here. Sounds like you're in charge for the moment. I feel for your mum, she is so blind & totally under the cults control, lets hope she wont shun you if the Elders get their way and DF you.

  Welcome 2tone

  Thanks for sharing your story. Shows how little JWs know about each other, however they are so quick to judge.

  I don’t really feel that I have anything in common with jws. ... Other is to move away from family completely but I don’t really want to lose my family.

  I hope you can somehow keep your family and be true to yourself. I have left cold turkey, no fading, just BANG out the door never to return. This religion made me sick to my stomach once I truly saw it as pure BS. Some family have started to shun me by just being colder and not calling anymore etc.. Others treat me 100% the same. Every person goes through different experiences.

  Have you though of fading slowly from the meetings until people are use to idea that you are not there? Family might not shun you as you are not baptised...

  thousands of fans have converged on the sydney opera house to welcome her australia.. the emotions and hysteria emmitted are unbeleivable.

  i`m beginning to worry about my aussie mates.lol.

  though i guess the publicity she will generate through her shows will be a boon for tourism ?.

  The emotions and hysteria emitted are unbelievable

  I know, I watched some of it this morning on TV, some people are making real fools of themselves. Oprah is only human and yes she has helped lots of people with her program but there are a few that pretty much worship her.

  Hey Siddy, did you see that woman from Melbourne that has spent $80,000 going to Chicago so many times to see her? She sold her home to pay for the constant trips to the USA. I saw her this morning at the Opera House waiting to see her Goddess and when she saw Oprah drive by and wave at her she lost the plot!!! (it was on the Today show CH9)

  JWs have the dorky GB, this woman has Oprah to worship.... heh at least Oprah gives good advice and never forces you to worship her. Maybe she should take over from the GB ... lol

  My friend won a ticket to see her, she's there now. She called last night and was upset that you can't take any cameras with you.

  i don't know if you lurk here (my guess would be that you do check in every once in a while), but you haven't done anything on your blog in almost a month, and you haven't been here in just as long.

  i hope you're doing okay.

  i hope you're handling the org, your wife, your children... and your own spirituality and sanity.

  Baptisms 2008-9: 276,233, or about 5312/wk.

  "Missing" Publishers: 138,568, or about 2665/wk.

  Look forward to when those figures are reversed:

  

  Baptisms: about 2665/wk.

  "Missing" Publishers: about 5312/wk.

  Every once and a while I think about Dan, hope you're ok.

  This religion eats you alive and spits you out in such a devastating way that it can take years to piece your life together. Others never recover.

  If that's true Obama would of thrown the book in the trash or quickly skimmed through it and laughed his ass off, then binned it!

  JWs really think they are so special

  I heard of a similar experience but not via email but from the platform about a brother here in Australia and our Prime Minister Mr Howard years ago . . .

  Oh boy, JWs and witnessing to the leaders of the world, is that why the world is screwed up? because the leaders read JW literature? ... lol

  I listened to the meeting over the phone with my grandmother. This religion is nuts!!

  by miseryloveselders in

  my grandmother has been a little ill, and had to be put in a facility temporarily.

  she should be getting out sometime next week.

  i'm not particularly close with her, and that probably has a lot to do with my father.

  She looked at me smiling and full of joy, and whispered, "that is really something isn't it?" I replied with I'm sure a crazy grin on my face, "Yes it is." All the while I'm thinking to myself, "I've got to get away from these people. They're all nuts."

  Made me laugh out loud, I thought the exact same thing during a meeting once at the KH. A few months later I was out!

  What a bunch of nut cases!!!! This religion is just as stupid as Scientology . . .

  Hi I'm a JW, want to join?

  Thanks Misery for your long story, the longer the better (for me anyway)
