  leaving the org was not a doctrinal choice for me as it was for many on this board.

  i left mentally because of the boredom and then i physically left by being dfd.

  i have been reading here for about a month or so and now i know i made the right decision.

  What's the most extreme thing you ever did to apply Matt 6:33?

  by Julia Orwell in

  2. experiences

  as it's conflated with witnessing, meetings and so forth...what's the most extreme sacrifice you made for those things?

  for me it was my mental health and maybe a career in something cooler than being an office fungus.. you?.

  Not dating a non-witness.

  I should have done it and kept the relationship a secret from the witnesses. It may not have gone anywhere but I would have had some fun finding out. Instead I gave him a tract explaining why.

  as a born in jw my outlet was always music.

  my parents let me do piano lessons (from another sister) and when i was 14 i lobbied hard enough for a guitar.

  i formed a decent punk/emo type in high school behind my parents back.

  I would love to hear one of your songs Cagefighter.

  If music is what you desire then make time for it. Never deny music or art in your life. It defines as humans more than anything else, including science IMO

  Do you equate success with money? Do what you need to do to keep yourself warm and fed but what brings you happiness has to be included, or what's the point of living.

  How long do you wait in the waiting room at Dr's office?

  i have a friend that has pancreatic cancer and he just went to see the dr today at 10 am est.

  he said he will come here at my home after dr's appt.

  i texted him few mins ago but he did not reply back to me, maybe he turned his phone off since some dr's offices does not permit cell phone use.

  The doctors here operate an appointment system. It is usual to wait over an hour past the allotted time.

  Edited to add: Appointments have to be booked 2 weeks in advance.

  New magazine cover from the religion that calls former believers "mentally diseased"....

  by cedars in

  2. beliefs

  apparently "prejudice" applies only to racial equality and has nothing to do with diverse sexual orientation or religious beliefs.

  it's news to me, but that's the only way i can explain this latest cover from the society.. http://download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/86/wp_e_20130601.pdf.

  No-one in the picture is obviously female, gay or an apostate so no prejudices at all!

  government considered a tax on savings.

  banks have been shut, atms running out of cash, banks won't open again until tuesday, maybe.

  lots of governments around the world are in financial difficulties, including the u.s. and the u.s. government isn't facing facts and will continue spending and spending until absolutely forced to deal with the deficit.. .

  How would you feel if your coworkers pooled in on Powerball lottery tickets and won, and you didn't participate?

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  2. friends

  i just recieved an email stating that the folks here won $8.00 over the weekend.

  so they're going to use the money to procure more tickets and i believe the jackpot is up to like $260 million or some other crazy figure.

  i never participate and i absolutely enjoy watching them waste their money on tickets with a smug haughtiness that only an active jw can muster.

  I am sure there was a thread here some time back and doing the lottery is not wrong, just don't broadcast it.
