  Looking for a certain image

  by magotan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hey, i'm looking for a certain image.

  it's one of the more dopey series of images from about five years ago.

  about a "sister" who goes off the rails and she gets counseled and she's dressing all "immodestly" which is really just a streak of color in her hair.

  I feel confident in saying that brother who had to get his "tats" for this picture did not want to take them off for a while!

  Personally though... I hate the taste of breastmilk right after smoking!

  is this a beautiful story, or what?.

  act one________.

  now in an ordinary romance of the golden hollywood era, the boy goes off to war while the young lady waits nervously for his safe return.in a cary grant, debra kerr movie, the two vow to meet after a certain period of time and tragic circumstances intervene.. in my story, the young man is a conscientious objector who goes to prison instead of off to the vietnam war.

  Reflections

  im starting a new thread because its time i left the bergman discussion.

  i would like to address some comments made by ahhah, however, comments which have given me reason to look deep into myself.. even then, i wonder how objective a person could ever be after having had part of their life taken from them by a cult association.

  on the other hand, who else (other than an ex-jw) would ever care enough to work as tirelessly as he seems to have in attempting to document the potential harm of this religion (biased as it may be).

  This thread is an excellent although painful thread to read. I feel sad, hurt and angry at the same time.

  If I could digress for one minute for all the people who are just thinking about leaving, starting to leave or are in the middle of the painful, seemingly unending process of getting out.

  Here is an anecdotal story that I hope gives you some hope...

  My oldest got her first job at a local business that recreates the Polar Express trip to the north pole. My wife, myself and my youngest went to the dress rehearsal yesterday. As I could hear the kids yelling and dancing in the train, hopeful to see santa or even an elf, christmas songs started to break out in the various parts of the train. My wife and our youngest started singing along and to my suprise my youngest knew all the words, while I knew only the main lines. Hearing my youngest sing "Frosty the Snowman" had such a huge emotional impact on me that I was glad the lights in the train were not working! I have never doubted leaving when I found out TTATT, but it was not easy. The childhood that my daughters are having is worlds different then the childhood I had. Not only different but better, much better!

  All the worrying about the future, arguing with family members and the inevitable shunning by decades old "friends" IS worth it. The thoughts that my life was wasted or squandered on missed opportuinites is the wrong way to think about your time in this cult. Going through what I and many others have gone through has forged me into who I am today. My experience has given me the skill set to make sure my kids will see what the real life is. Not the one that is restricted and built on lies meant to keep us servile to a group of men in NYC or any other group of men anywhere!

  Great line at the end...

  I sleep well at night and when I sleep in on sunday and have my coffee I realize that the mormon church is as much of a joke as it was when i went to bed the night before.... roughly paraphrased

  I love that I am with the silent majority to be able to say...

  "I am not a jehovah's witness... bitch!! "

  A time to recognize

  by BrokenBonz in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it's my time to recognize the faults that i've made.

  in my case, i was inattentive, uncaring, selfish, and aloof.

  it has brought me to this time in my life the waking call of my errors.

  broken... One thing to realize.... You cannot make her happy. She is the only one who can do that.

  Work on becoming a better you... not for her but for you. If it is meant to be then so be it. Just know that we are all only responsible for our own happiness. The trick is finding someone who looks at you and is happy themselves because of what they see.

  every time they use the term "JW" they are deliberately not using the greatest name on earth. Why do they hate jehovah so much????

  My experience with a Judicial Committee, when in my early 20's

  by Dunedain in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i joined this wonderful site, only a few weeks ago, although i have been away from the borg, for almost 20 years.

  i didnt introduce myself, on a personal level, but i jumped right in, commenting, making threads, and just immersing myself in this community.

  what a time, indeed, to be here, its almost as if i was "called" here, because the week i lurked, and joined, was when all this recent stuff came out.

  Is my friend on the way out of the organisation?

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i left the watchtower i realised it was best to put friendships on hold.

  however i mentioned to my best friend that i didn't agree with how they handled child abuse issues and that was one of the reasons i left.. anyway as i am fortunate and own two rental apartments and he is a plumber so we have kept in contact, in that i email him when i require his services and he sends me the invoice.

  anyway i am now dissociated, but yesterday i emailed him about a pluming problem, and he replied.. " sorry we missed going to the indian ( this was a comment made about us having a meal together about 9 months ago, which i backed out of because i felt he was too indoctrinated and i had not disassociated myself) anyway his email continued:-.

  Hey rebel,

  Good news sure. Have a pint with him! This could so easily be brushed off by him as a a business meeting if he was questioned. Have a few, talk about old times and if the subj comes up just run with it as you see fit.

  If he is holding out his hand, you gotta reach for it!

  What it takes to keep separate from the world

  by Sabin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  check out this mag.

  june 15th, 1980.. without a doubt, our appreciating just how wicked & corrupt satan's world is will help us to keep separate from the world.

  such appreciation will make it easy for us to obey the command found at psalms 97:10 "o you lovers of jehovah, hate what is bad.

  crazyguy... and I am a child of those 80's. I remember hearing stupid shit like "1935" and wondering where that was in the bible... obviously never getting an answer. Even though I got out sooner then some I wish I would have had the courage to get out sooner than I did

  Everyone one with kids in this cult.... Know this.... The propaganda is excellently prepared for your children. My mother did not hit me hard with the end of the world shit but it was preached at the kingdom hall non-stop. I grew up KNOWING that armageddon was coming before I turned 20. It greatly hampered my opportunities as a young child and also as a teen and young adult. It took me 30 years to get the courage to say enough is enough. If you have young kids it is imperative to get your kids out... even if it is at the expense of your "friends" and other family members. Your relationship with your mother or father or grandma or grandpa is a distant 3rd place to getting yourself and your kids out.
